Installing Htmlviewer on Delphi XE8

[irelam66]

I am unable to fully install Htmlviewer version 11 on my Windows 10 64-bit machine. I am able to compile the DPK file after correcting syntax errors on the content of the DPK file. Errors are

1. Miss-spelling of Requires is supplied with two 'R' at start of the line.
2. Contains 'C'
3. Final end statement appears as 'd' Correcting these problems and then all the DCU files appear in my DCULIB directory. But I am then unable to install the component, and there is no sign of the component icon and the Complib build fails. I remember there was a problem with the Delphi XE starter kit that could not register a component and make it appear in the list of installed components. Is this still a problem or is this a new version of the problem. FrameviewerReg.pas seems to have the code

Hi, I cannot see any defects in https://github.com/BerndGabriel/HtmlViewer/blob/HtmlViewer-11.6/package/FrameViewerXE8.dpk and I'm not aware of any registration bugs. But I must admit, I've got neither XE nor XE8.

Thank you for your feedback on this problem. I am not so worried about the corrupted DPK file as the problem is clear and easily corrected. I am actually more worried that I cannot seem to get the component installed and appearing on the component toolbar.  It usually requires a routing called RegisterComponent to be run somehow. I cannot find such a routine (procedure) anywhere in the XE distribution collection of files. I am going to investigate running this procedure outside the Install procedure, and will let you know of my success or whatever. The code I am trying to track down looks like this (from Frameviewer.reg in my Html945 set):

    procedure Register;     begin        RegisterComponents('Samples', [THTMLViewer, TFrameViewer, TFrameBrowser]);     end;

regards,

since Delphi XE there is a separate dclFrameViewerXE*.dpk package for the design time including the RegisterComponent() call.

Unfortunately you cannot send attachments github issues.

But you can send links to publicly available files.
