Thread Installing DBISAM in D2009 with D5 installed
Wed, Jul 15 2009 12:19 AMPermanent Link

"Jerry Clancy"
I installed v.428 into D5 Ent. a bit ago but today I purchased and installed
D2009 (RAD Studio). However, I want to run them in parallel until I'm
comfortable with D2009 (and because of legacy issues). How do I obtain a
4.28 version for D2009 and install it? I assume that
428b4dbisamvclstdsrcd5.exe is for D5.

When I go to the download page I get to choose my Delphi environment.
You should be able to find the version for D2009 there.

I've currently downloaded (& installed) the versions for D2006 & D2009.

Thanks, Jon. Did that yesterday but I don't get any choices on environment
and the downloads are for D5.

Tim, how do I do this?

Yes. Problem solved. I've got the downloads. Using the "Customers" link in
Tim's last announcement email, which automatically logs you in, I don't seem
to get a choice (though I may try it again just to confirm this). So I went
in from the elevatesoft home page and that approach did give me the choices.

Thanks, nonetheless, for the response.

Just tried again using the "Customers" link and it worked. Must be losing it
here. Didn't want to worry Tim. I must not have clicked through the product
link late last night.

Jerry,

I would be interested in your experiences with getting D2009
up to speed with previous applications... I've only just started
myself and have most of my 3rd party stuff installed.

However, have yet to get any major apps converted.

Jon,

That's about where I'm at. Have all the major pieces installed -- IW, TMS,
Rave, DBISAM, etc. -- and now down to a few extraneous packages like ICS and
other small components. Not sure what to do about my old Apollo stuff (D5)
which I need for legacy and conversion apps. Worst case is I just relegate
those to D5. I do have the source, however.

One thing I have done is eliminated many packages I haven't used in years,
some of which are now open source like Orpheus, Async, and OnGuard, and
Rubicon, etc.

I'm hoping to bring one of our major apps into D2009 this weekend. Will let
you know how it goes.

Spent a few hours looking for the component palette before it occurred to me
that, unlike D5, you might have to have a project open. Bingo!

Jerry, Jon

I'm in the same boat Smiley
I've just tried the conversion of a small D2006 app, and the very first issues
I'm dealing with are:

1.
Need to replace some PChar/String with PAnsiChar/AnsiString when calling a few
windows api functions.

2.
Flat TDBNavigator buttons don't paint correctly if Xp Themes are enabled
  This one can be corrected applying Andy's VCL fix pack:
  http://andy.jgknet.de/blog

3.
The colours of the Panels have a strange behaviour, that I couldn't yet
understand, when we change the color to clBtnFace and XpThemes are enabled.

4.
As far as I can see, and contrary to what Marco Cantu's book says, TDBImage only
supports BMP format, exactly as the previous versions.
TImage supports jpeg, png and gif also.

5.
Need to replace "vcljpg" with "vclimg" in packages that are using the VCLJPG
package because it doesn't exist anymore.


So far so good, let's see what's next Smiley...

Good to know.

I'm having more serious problems now that I'm trying to move my existing D5
projects into D2009. None of the 3rd-party packages are showing up in the
Tool Palette when I open and existing D5 projects in D2009. And, so far
anyway, my posts to some groups about how to add these packages, already
installed, to the project have met with either silence of suggestions to
check library paths, which are already OK.

I think I'm in for some tough sledding.
