Delphi 7, JVCL installation

[tjcusick]

I am attempting to install the JVCL library on a Laptop that i just installed Delphi 7 on. I installed the JCL library first as in the instructions but then when i install the JVCL, the installation itself goes fine, it's when i attempt to run Delphi 7 after that i start getting the issues.

First i get Access Violation in module 'dclstd70.bpl'
then registration procedure, stdreg.register in package dclstd70.bpl raised exception class exception: invalid action registration.
Then Can't load package JvCoreD7D.bpl, registration procedure...
Then Can't load package JvCryptD7D.bpl, registration procedure...

then registration procedure, vcldbreg.register in package dcldb70.bpl raised exception class exception: invalid action registration.
Then Can't load package JvBDED7D.bpl, registration procedure...
Then Can't load package JvCtrlsD7D.bpl, registration procedure...
then registration procedure, jvdbreg.register in package JvDBD7D.bpl raised exception class exception: invalid action registration.
then registration procedure, Jvdlgsreg.register in package JvDlgsD7d.bpl raised exception class exception: invalid action registration.

Anyone have any ideas?

I have the jvcl installed in D7 on my laptop. It's installed and runs perfectly. I may be able to assist but it has been a while. I had already installed prior versions on other desktops before, so I knew in advance it could be quirky if not done correctly. By correctly, I mean read all instructions, and use the included install programs as instructed. Manually installing the DPKs is NOT going to work!!! (Unless you do exactly what the install program does for you manually and end up with a perfect config file when done - not likely)

I first extracted JVCL320CompleteJCL197-Build2172.zip to "..\Delphi7\Source\" which result in
"..\Delphi7\Source\jcl\" and "..\Delphi7\Source\jvcl\"

As I remember, I then launched "..\Delphi7\Source\jvcl\install.bat"

The batch builds the install exe program, then launches it. There are some options and instructions in the resulting "..\Delphi7\Source\jvcl\bin\JVCLInstall.exe" which installs all the DPKs for you.
NOTE: Delphi IDE can not be running.

If you get that far, all works!

If you did not see that step during your install, then I suggest a roll-back, because you probably have mess to clean up.

Also, have a look at file "..\Delphi7\Source\jcl\bin\Delphi 7.log" (your location may be different) Mine is 21,615 bytes in size. Here are the first 140 lines of over 500 lines from mine:

Remember to NOT use my steps as THE procedure. I did this over a year ago, and is the best I can remember. READ AND FOLLOW THE INCLUDED INSTRUCTIONS.

BTW: the JVCL is one of, if not the best and most complex install processes I've ever seen. The Jedi team deserves a lot of credit.
