System requirements

• Processor: Intel Pentium 100 MHz or higher (PIII 500 MHz is recommended);
• Operating system: Microsoft Windows 98/Me; NT 4.0; 2000/XP; Vista;
• RAD: Borland Delphi 4.0-7.0 or BDS 2005/2006 or Borland C++ Builder 5.0/6.0;
• Memory: minimum 32 MB of RAM (64 MB is recommended);
• Disk usage: about 10 MB of hard disk space;

       common\vc2cbEval_50.bpl -- for Borland C++ Builder 5.0;
       common\vc2cbEval_60.bpl -- for Borland C++ Builder 6.0;
  • press Open to install the package;
     
• add VC 2.5 Evaluation components package to run-time packages:
  • make sure "[x] Build with runtime packages" check box is checked;
