Crystal 8.5 and Delphi 7

[nosligc]

Is there a way to install the Crystal 8.5 VCL in Delphi 7? D7 does not appear to be supported.

Thanks

Delphi 7 came out after Crystal 8.5. If you have the source code for the VCL component, you can probably try to recompile in Delphi 7, makin whatever changes you need (there were MAJOR changes to the standard files in the Uses clause in D7) to get it to compile correctly.

Brion Webster has some tips how to make the changes:
