Feeling like an IDIOT - Indy Install

[lespaul]

Ok, I need to upgrade to a different version of the Indy components. I have downloaded Indy 9. When I try to install the package, I get an error message that I still have a previous version installed, the version included with Delphi 6. So, I checked the Indy Knowledge base and found that:

[tt]• Close the Borland Delphi IDE if it is open.
• If you are using the version of Indy included in Delphi 6 or 7, use the MSI installer to remove Indy.
• Remove all Indy files including dclIndy*.bpl, Indy*.bpl, the Id*.pas, and the Id*.dcu's. Take care that you only remove the old Indy files and not something else. Be sure that you also remove any Indy*.bpl from your Windows\System directory.
• Place the new version of Indy in a directory of your choice. When unzipping, please keep the \source directory for the archive intact because that is used by some build batch files.
• In the source directory, there are several batch files. Run the appropriate one for your version of Indy:
• FULLD4.BAT - Delphi 4
• FULLD5.BAT - Delphi 5
• FULLD6.BAT - Delphi 6
• FULLD7.BAT - Delphi 7
• These batch files create subdirectories in the main Indy directory folder. They are (D4 for Delphi 4, D5 for Delphi 5, D6 for Delphi 6, and D7 for Delphi 7). These directories contain:
• The Indy .DCU's
• The Indy Design-Time .BPL[/tt]

But I can't find anything on exactly HOW to use the MSI to remove the programs and I don't have the *.BAT files mentioned above either!

Any assistance appreciated!

forget about msi installer
just begin from step 3 : delete all indy related files..

Ok, I'm still not having any luck with this.

If I select 'Install Packages' there are no dpl files in the Indy 9.0 source file I unzipped.

If I select 'Install Component' I find 2 dpk files:
dclIndy60.dpk
Indy60.dpk

but the form also asks for the Unit File Name, which I have no clue where to find!

I'm getting really frustrated with this! Any assistance greatly appreciated! I'm also not sure I've eliminated all the files. I have a component that we purchased that seems to have all the Indy stuff included with it as well and I don't want to delete all of that or it might break my other component!

Thanks,
Leslie

Ok, I've also downloaded and tried running the Atozed Indy Installer and I don't think that's working correctly either.

Here's my issue. One of my cow-orkers recently left. He developed a project for our Background Investigations division. When I open the project I get a message:

[tt]Error reading IdSMTP_Metro.MaxLineAction: Property MaxLineAction does not exist. Ignore the error and continue? NOTE: Ignoring the error may cause components to be deleted or property values to be lost.[/tt]

Before he left he checked and he was running Indy 9, however when I add a component to a form and right click, it appears that I'm running 8.0.25.

If I ignore the error and open the project, I am unable to switch to the form that contains the IdSMPT component to get any information about it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Les

Ok, I don't know how I did it, but it appears to be updated now.

about the SMTP error, this is OK. the SMTP components got a big overhaul from 8 to 9 (and from 9 to 10)
