Installing a VCL components package

From the Delphi/BDS or C++ Builder IDE open the vc2.dpk (vc2cb.bpk for C++ Builder) package.

For C++Builder go to Project \ Edit Option Source and locate "<PROJECT><LINKER><ALLLIB >" branch and add ws2_32.lib there, so it will look something like this:

  <ALLLIB value="$(LIBFILES) $(LIBRARIES)
           import32.lib cp32mt.lib ws2_32.lib"/>

Press "Install" button to compile and install the VCL components into your components palette.

In some cases Delphi IDE may not be able to perform this action correctly. Here is how you can install the package if IDE fails to do so:

• start Delphi, close all projects;
• open vc2.dpk package;
• press Compile;
• confirm changes to package (Delphi suggests to add required packages);
• exit Delphi, confirming changes saving;
• from the command prompt start a DCC32.EXE compiler to build vc2.dpk:
  

    > dcc32 /b vc2.dpk 

• start Delphi, close all projects, and install VC2 package (vc2.bpl) from Components \ Install Packages... menu;
• now you are ready to compile our demos or build own project with VC 2.5 Pro components.

Search path

As with any other third-party sources you may have to add the full path to VC components installation "\common\" folder to the Search Path in the Project Options dialog.
