Hi all,

I used mydac before on Delphi 2010, and to install I just booted up my delphi go to "open", browse to the "source" directory in my "MySQLProvider" directory and compiled/install:

dacXX.bpl
dcldacXX.bpl
dacvclXX.bpl
mydacXX.bpl
dclmydacXX.bpl
dclmysqlmonXX.bpl
mydacvclXX.bpl
crcontrolsXX.bpl

And as far as I remember that worked. I did get some form of nag screen when booting up delphi (not sure if i ever read it, so not sure what it was about) but could make connections to my mysql database just fine on my compiled applications ...

Now I updated to Delphi XE and wanted to install my mysql again. I noticed in that source code directory it only goes to "delpi14" which I believe was Delphi 2010 ... I downloaded from this site something called "MyDac for RAD Studio XE" which I thought was what I needed ...

However the directory structure is quite different to my other "MySQLProvider" directory.. I don't see a directory called "source" no more... I do have bpl files like "dac150.bpl" etc but I can't seem to compile / build them, just gives me plenty of warnings and errors ...

I added the library path to my Delphi settings to the directory where those bpl's are in but that didn't help...

How do I get this working in Delphi XE ? (Im talking about the free version, my programs are for personal non commercial use and I don't have the money to buy liscenses or something like that ...

If I can't get it to work ill downgrade my delphi to 2010 again, but seems silly to do that just because for some reason my component doesn't want to "install"...

Thanks in advance for the help !

Anyone

Hello,

Earlier you used MyDAC version with source code, and now you've downloaded MyDAC version without it. To solve the problem, you should download MyDAC version with source code from Registered Users' Area. You will find how to compile and install MyDAC manually in the ReadmeSrc.txt file. You can find this file in the root directory of MyDAC.
Note that the only free version of MyDAC is Trial version. In order to use MyDAC version with source code, you must have a license.

Hi,

Okay, but if there is a free trail version, then that must be "usuable" right ? I mean what's the point of a "free Delphi XE trial version" if I can't install and use it in my Delphi XE ?

You can install MyDAC for RAD Studio XE Trial version, but not in the way you described in the first post. The way you described installs only the Professional version with the source code. To install MyDAC for RAD Studio XE Trial version, you should run the mydac15.exe installation file (you can download it here: http://www.devart.com/mydac/mydac15.exe ), and go through the installation process. After that, you will have MyDAC for RAD Studio XE Trial version installed on your computer.
