TChart7 for Delphi8 just wont install !!!!!!

[JonM]

The basic install does not work so were were issued with the source code version and told to use TeeRecompile.exe.
This worked on one PC but we cant get it to install on another PC.

TeeRecompile fails with "unable to find Borland.Delphi."
Even copying in all the Borland dlls from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Borland Shared\BDS\Shared Assemblies\2.0 did not help.

We've tried EVERYTHING even copying files from a working system!
When you do COmponent - Installed .NET components - .NET VCL Components and trying to add the Design.Dll reports the dll "is not a delphi package/assembly" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why, why, why, why ?

Help !

Hello JonM,

To successfully install Teechart Pro v7 VCL into Delphi 8 you should follow those steps:

- Install all the Delphi8 patches.
- Download the TeeChart Pro sources
- Run the installer of TeeChart pro v7 with sources
- Go to C:\Program Files\Steema Software\TeeChart Pro v7 Full Source Code
- Run the TeeRecompile tool
- Uncheck all the Delphi/bcb version, but not the Delphi 8, uncheck the recreate all XFM and "recompile Decision cube packages" options.
- Click begin (if you get an error about the GacUttil, skip it and close the TeeRecompile tool).
- It has created the following folder which contains the dlls. (C:\Program Files\Steema Software\TeeChart Pro v7 Full Source Code\Sources\Compiled\Delphi8)
- Then open Delphi8 and go to menu -> components -> install NET Components
- Go to NET VCL Components tab
- click Add buton and browse at C:\Program Files\Steema Software\TeeChart Pro v7 Full Source Code\Sources\Compiled\Delphi8\Assemblies
- and add the Steema.TeeChart.VCL.Design.dll
-This will add the TeeChart palette.

Have you followed them?
