MyDac Install into Delphi 5

Post by georget » Fri 11 Dec 2009 00:50

when we trery to install new release of mydac for Delphi V, we gwt a message that it finds older DAC components installed. We took myDAC off the pallete and deleted the MyDac package from Delphi and the problem remains. We did not remove the CORE entries in the path description which we try tonight. Are there any other places to look to remove offending components?

Thanks,

Jennifer Good

If you use any DAC components (like SDAC, ODAC etc.) besides MyDAC, then product compatibility is provided for the current build only. To make MyDAC and other DAC components work simultaneously on the same IDE, you should use the latest versions of all DAC components.

If you use only MyDAC, run the MyDAC installation with the /force parameter like this:
mydac590d5std.exe /force.

myDAC install into Delphi V

I understand, but what we are wantiung to dio is remiove all vestiuges of DAC comop-onents and work exclusivekly with MyDAC. We thouyght that by remocving from installed packages and from Delphi Menu bar, we would have removed everythong, but that appears tyo not be the case. Do I need to remove references from path and/or remove old components from the HDD?

Thanks,

To install new MyDAC version you should find all dac*.bpl, dacvcl*.bpl and dcldac*.bpl files in the {Delphi} directory and {WINDOWS}\system32\ directory, and delete them.
