Downloading trial MyDAC for XE6

[NoComprende]

Hi, I've got rad studio 2009 on my computer with MyDAC 5.x installed. I've also now got rad studio xe6 installed and downloaded the trial versions of MyDAC and LiteDAC for xe6. When I click on the .exe files to install these nothing happens (as in no messages, nothing). Not sure if it's anything to do with the fact I installed xe6 on my D: drive rather than in the usual C:/ProgramFiles folder.

I also read somewhere that I should uninstall old versions but I have an .exe programme that I developed in rad studio 2009. Will that stop working if I uninstall MyDAC 5.x?

Surely there must be someone at Devart who can tell me how to install a trial download or should I come back in another 3 days?

Neither the installed MyDAC version 5.x for RAD Studio 2009, nor the fact that RAD Studio XE6 is installed on drive D has no effect on the run and execution of the installers of MyDAC and LiteDAC trial version for RAD Studio XE6. To solve the problem, try to run the installer of the MyDAC and LiteDAC trial versions as an administrator or run the installers with the option "force". For example, mydac85d20pro.exe /force.

Thanks Victor. I tried 'Run as Administrator' which didn't change anything but I right clicked the file and clicked 'Properties' . On the 'General' tab there was a message at the bottom headed 'Security' stating 'This file came from another computer and might be blocked to protect this computer'. I clicked the 'Unblock' button next to it and thereafter the .exe file worked. Ditto for the LiteDAC file.

Never came across this before and no idea why it's happened now but apologies for being a bit nippy in my last post as it's clearly not Devart's fault.

Glad to see that the issue was resolved.

Hi Victor, when trying to compile my rad studio 2009 project in xe6 for the first time I get the following messages
Unable to find static library: mysqlmon120.lib
Unable to find static library: CRControls120.lib
Unable to find static library: mydac120.lib
Unable to find static library: dac120.lib

Is this something to do with my old setup or do I need to add something to my library paths?
