Installing trial version for Lazarus

[Simpleton]

So, I seem to be living up to my username here. But having unzipped the SecureBridge 7.3 trial version for Lazarus/Free Pascal, what then? If I open it in Lazarus, Package | Open Package File, I see bunch of .pas files with red lines through. But how does one install the components and use them in a Lazarus project?

I'm sure this all very basic, and the result purely of my ignorance, but unless and until I can see how to install and use these components in a project, e.g. to replicate bits of WinSCP functionality, I'm just a *potential* customer. (It's frustrating, as I'd very much like to be a satisfied *actual* customer!)

To install SecureBridge Trial Edition for Lazarus, please try the following:
- open, compile and install the dclsbridge10.lpk package.
Note that Trial Edition is distributed with components compiled for Lazarus 1.6

When I go to Package | Open Package File and select dclsbridge10.lpk the .pas files are listed with red lines through. I click on Compile and get the messages:

Warning: other unit files search path (aka unit path) of "dclsbridge10 7.0.1" contains "C:\Devart\sbridgefpc3\SecureBridge", which belongs to package "sbridge10"
Compile package sbridge10 7.0.1: Exit code 1, Errors: 1
sbridge10.pas(10,3) Fatal: Cannot find ScTypes used by sbridge10, incompatible ppu=C:\Devart\sbridgefpc3\SecureBridge\lib\i386-win32\ScTypes.ppu, package sbridge10

OK, so I completely uninstalled Lazarus 1.6.4 and did a clean install of 1.6.0.

Now it is possible to open and compile dclsbridge10.lpk.

But I don't see any new components in the IDE. Should I?

After compiling the package dclsbridge10.the lpk it should be installed. To do this, you should click the Use button and in the drop down list select the Install item.

Thanks, I did that, but still the same sorts of error message - Cannot find ScFrames, etc.

I think I've spent enough time on this for now. This trial version has sadly been just that - a trial, of my patience!

I suspect I can do what I want to do by installing PuTTY and calling plink.exe with relevant parameters using Lazarus's TProcess in order to carry out SSH, SFTP operations etc.

We uploaded a new version of SecureBridge 7.3.4 Trial Edition for Lazarus (FreePascal). Please download and try to install the new version of SecureBridge 7.3.4 Trial Edition.

Fantastic, many thanks! Installation now successful. I'm looking forward to trying this out properly next week.
