Problems with ODAC 7.20.0.8 and Delphi 7

Power · Post by **Power** » Thu 04 Aug 2011 12:43

I deinstalled the old ODAC7 version and installed the new version 7.20.0.8 on Delphi 7. After I restarted Delphi I got several error messages during the load of the packages.

Following Packages couldn't be loaded:

- crcontrols70.bpl
- oraprov70.bpl

In the packagelist I found another package called dclcrcontrols70.bpl which I think that it causes the trouble with crcontrols70.bpl.

Should it be possible to install all packages?
If not, than I'm not sure which packages I should use.
Is that maybe an setup bug?

Hopefully you can help me.

Thanks in advance

Michael

Hello,

I cannot reproduce the problem.
The latest ODAC version (7.20.0.

is installed on all IDEs successfully and without errors. Please check that you don't have any *.bpl, *.dcu, etc. files left from the previous installation, also please check that Library Path points to the current folders with ODAC files.

Hello,

the version i had installed before was version 7.20.0.6. I deinstalled it and installed version 7.20.0.8.

After checking the devart folder I think you changed the packages for Delphi 7. That means you splited the old Package crcontrols70.bpl in the new runtime (crcontrols70.bpl) and design (dclcrcontrols70.bpl) package.

So I decided to delete the Package "Devart Controls" (crcontrols70.bpl) out of the packagelist.

And the package oraprov70.bpl I didn't found at all, so I deleted it too.
Until now I have no problems with the components.

Hello,

We really divided packages to design and runtime, because it will be necessary for Rad Studio XE2.
But if our DAC products are installed and uninstalled correctly, all installed packages are deleted automatically.
