Setup doesn't create libraries for Delphi 2007 Enterprise Trial Version
Answers
Dear Frank,
We have just been informed of this problem. As you probably know, the Express Install uses this command-line compiler to create the libraries of our components. However, CodeGear includes a non-functional dcc32.exe in the Trial version of Delphi 2007. The file itself is present (and the Express Install properly calls it), but it just warns that command-line compilation isn't supported.
If you want to use our products in the trial IDE, the only solution we can offer for you is to compile our packages manually. If you are ready to do this, please follow these steps:
- Run the Express Install and select the products you want to install. Deactivate the "Create product libraries" for Delphi 2007 in the Customization screen of the installer … just because this option is useless.
- The Express Install will put the source files and packages of our components to the specified folder on the disk. You must compile the libraries in the following order (as they are called in the Express Install folders):
NOTE 1: If you don’t own a specific product and the corresponding libraries are missing, simply skip them in this list.
NOTE 2: We haven't ported our older products (like the ExpressInspector, ExpressQuantumTreeList v3, ExpressQuantumGrid v3, etc.) to Delphi 2007 because we support new IDEs only for "active" products.

ExpressSkins Library - Put all the necessary files into a single folder to simplify the compilation process. In particular, take the files from the Sources and Packages directory of each library. Packages for Delphi 2007 are named with the D11 suffix.
- Compile the runtime packages first, then their design-time counterparts (with the dcl~ prefix in their names).
NOTE: To automate compilation, I recommend that you include all the packages into a single project group. When rebuilding the group, the compiler should recognize the dependent packages and determine which packages to compile first. - Install the compiled design-time packages.
Hopefully, this will help you install our components. Please keep us informed of your progress.
Thanks,
Serge
