When I try install every new version I have big trouble to install UniDac (I use Delphi7).
I compile/install every runtime/designtime packages and after I close Delphi I see error messages that Delphi can't locate unidac70.bpl, dclunidac70.bpl files !!!
How to install UniDac with sources ???

After compilation you should copy *.bpl files to a folder that is present in the PATH environment variable (for example: C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi7\Projects\Bpl).

- which *.bpl (why when I install another dpk I do not have copy bpl) ?
- some *.bpl after compile and install are created in different folders (DELPHI7\PROJECTS\BPL, dpk directory, ....)
- after install I must define UNIDACPRO in dac.inc yet !!!
I waste many time to install this components (manual install from dpk)....
Could you describe how to install it in ReadMe file ?

You should copy the *.bpl file for each package you have compiled. If the Output path is not specified in Project options, Delphi places these files in the C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi7\Projects\Bpl folder by default. So some packages do not require copying.
We will check UniDAC packages and clear the Output path. So such problem should not occur in the next build of UniDAC.
We will also add {$DEFINE UNIDACPRO} to Dac.inc in the next UniDAC build.
The ReadMeSrc.txt file contains the description of the UniDAC with Sources installation.
