Installing ZeosDBO

There is some people ask me about installing this component, although there is a file named install.html but maybe the instruction in that file not really clear. Here is the installation guide for ZeosDBO 6.1.5 in Delphi 7 (you can do the same way with the other version of ZeosDBO and Delphi)

1. Unzip the .zip file of ZeosDBO and copy into your Delphi directory like this:
[Delphi_Directory]\ZeosDBO6.1.5

2. Goto directory: [Delphi_Directory]\ZeosDBO6.1.5\package\delphi7
(if your Delphi version is 5 then goto "delphi5")

3. Double click the ZeosDbo.bpg and then it will opened in your Delphi program

4. Click View->Project Manager menu on Delphi

5. Right click your mouse on one of the .bpl that appear on Project Manager, and then click "Build All From Here"

6. Click the ZComponentDesignXX.bpl on Project Manager, right click mouse and choose "Install"

7. Goto "Tools->Environment Option" of your Delphi's menu and then choose the Library tab

8. On the "Library path" click the elipsis button (browse), type:
$(DELPHI)\zeosdbo-6.1.5\packages\delphi7\build
And then click the add button, then click OK button to finish it

9. Your Zeos component are ready to use

If you already have the previous version of ZeosDBO then before start the 9 steps above, you must delete all the ZXXX.bpl and Zxxxx.dcp files from the [Delphi folder]\Projects\Bpl
