I am preparing an installer (Inno Setup) to install my component package into Delphi XE without having to manually fiddle in the IDE.
How do I install a Delphi component package (for example, MyComponent.bpl) into Delphi without having to manually do it via the 'Install Packages' menu item? Is it a registry key?
dcu files, if they are included with the distribution -- must be in the Delphi Library Path. Choose Component > Install Packages from the IDE menu, or choose Project > Options and click the Packages tab. A list of available packages appears in the Design packages list box.
Description. The Install-Package cmdlet installs one or more software packages on the local computer. If you have multiple software sources, use Get-PackageProvider and Get-PackageSource to display details about your providers.
Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, and other Debian-based distributions all use . deb files and the dpkg package management system. There are two ways to install apps via this system. You can use the apt application to install from a repository, or you can use the dpkg app to install apps from .
Yep, registry is your friend.
Packages:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\<Borcadero>\BDS\<version>\Known IDE Packages
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\<Borcadero>\BDS\<version>\Known Packages
IIRC Known IDE Packages is for IDE extensions, and Known Packages for components (on the Tool Palette)
Library paths are in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\<Borcadero>\BDS\<version>\Library
Note:
<Borcadero>
stands for Borland, CodeGear or Embarcadero, depending on your Delphi version.<version>
is the IDE version, ie 7.0 for Delphi 2010.If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
