Installing new components in Delphi

Hi All.

Potentially very simple question here. I tried downloading some components from
www.delphi32.com

and then installing them in the trial version of Delphi 2.

When I start installing them, Delphi whinges about not finding source files.
Is this just because it is the trial edition, or am I way off? Presumably
you shouldn't need the source to install components in Delphi.

Help :)

Thanks in advance

It might be because A) you are using the Trial version, but it is more
likely to be B) you're installing Delphi 1.0 components (just becuase you
d/l'd them from Delphi32 doesn't automatically make them 32 bit...) and
Delphi 2.0 needs the source code so it can make the appropriate changes and
recompile the .DCU.

Re:Installing new components in Delphi

Look at your components search path. If it is very long (I guess the limit
is 255, I never counted
it), you should think about putting your components compiled files in a
shared directory.

If this doesn't work, it may be something about the WinTypes and WinProcs
Units alias
(now named Windows). I heard some people had problem with this, although I
don't know exactly what it was.

Good Luck,
