TOpenDirectory package install
1. If a previous TOpenDirectory package is already installed, remove it first:
- Components | Install Packages,
- click on "DelphiCity TOpenDirectory",
- click "Remove",
- click "Yes",
- click "Ok",
- search for all the "TOpenDir.*" and "OpenDir.*" files in your Borland directories and delete them, to be certain that old units will not remain in the search paths (causing later raw errors).
2. Install the current package:
- unzip the archive in a folder of your choice,
- according to your Delphi or C++Builder version, copy all the Delphi\*.* or CBuilder\*.* archive files to the Borland\Delphi\Imports or
\Borland\CBuilder\Imports directory,
- run Delphi or C++Builder,
- select Component | Install packages,
- press the "Add" button,
- locate the TOpenDir.bpl file in the Imports directory and select it,
- select Open,
- select Ok,
- check the DelphiCity tab in the right of the component palette. The TOpenDirectory object should have been added.
C++Builder users: if you get a "BPL library not found" error at runtime, uncheck the "Build with runtime packages" check box in Project | Options | Packages.
