problem reinstalling Abbrevia components
I recently upgraded to D2007 (previously using D7) and to provide a migration path for my applications I installed several of my favourite component packages into the new D2007 IDE. In the process it apparently hosed my installation for Abbrevia in the old D7 environment (which I am not entirely ready to abandon). The first sign of trouble was when launching D7 when I got a message about "cannot load ZLIB do you want to attempt to load next time?" I finally gace up and answered "no" hoping that it would clear out the references so I could reinstall. I then copied my Abbrevia files to a new directory and attempted to re-install them but now I get a message like "cannot load package rtl100. It contains unit ZLIB which is also contained in rtl70". I am at a loss as to what to attempt next to get this useful component re-installed intot he D7 IDE. Can anyone offer a suggestion about how I can get this component set installed in D7 without hosing the D2007 installation?

Here's what I did a while ago on my Vista machine.
Obtained TP files from SourceForge
Define Environmental variable in D2007 in "Tools|Options":
"TPx" as "C:\{Path where you want to store all your TP components}"
This will be used in setting Library Path in "Tools|Options|Delphi
Options|Libray - Win32"
There will specifically be a path pointing to "Abbrevia" where the
SourceForge
files will be stored.
Use D7 supplied packages from SourceForge. (I used version 3.05).
Created resource files by copying the D7 files and then renaming them.
Open B305_r70.dpk, B305vr70.dpk, B305vd70.dpk in Notepad.
Change references of 70 to 100.
Save as B305_r100.dpk, B305vr100.dpk, B305vd100.dpk.
File|Open and compile in D2007:
B305_r100.dpk, B305vr100.dpk, B305vd100.dpk (run-time first).
Comile occurs without error.
Output files went to "C:\Users\Public\Documents\RAD Studio\5.0\Bpl"
Set Library path as "$(TPx)\Abbrevia\Source"
Install design-time packages into IDE using "Component|Install Packages",
and opening the design "B305vd100.bpl" file
from "C:\Users\Public\Documents\RAD Studio\5.0\Bpl".
Good luck

Hi and tanks for the reply.
I'm not sure if I made the situation clear... I have installed the component into D2007 (no problems) However that installation seems to have hosed my install into D7 (not D2007).
I am having a problem reinstalling into D7 (see previous description)

I'm sorry, I did misread. The only thing I can think of is that the files needed for D7 and D2007 may be "overlapping". So, maybe if everything D7 and D2007 needs for Abbrevia is in a completely different directory, there won't be a conflict. I recall a long time ago some user having some TP component files (bpl files?) in the Windows\System directory and having conflicts or problems with the components with different versions of Delphi running. The user had to physically delete some TP files in the Windows\System directory as a simple uninstall didn't remove them all.

Thanks again for the reply... I had already tried copying a set of the Abbrevia files into a separate directory and attempting the install, but I still get the same error.. Maybe it has something to do with the TP related files you mentioned in the Windows\System32 directory, but since these are binaries, I am not sure what is "safe" to do with them to facilitate the install into D7 without hosing D2007. I wish the TP folks were still around to give advice on this stuff. Thanks

Umm... I'm not one of the "TP folks", but it seems to me that the solution is very simple.
1. Go back to SourceForge and download the Abbrevia files.
2. Unzip them into a new folder location on your machine.
3. Install from the new folder location into Delphi 7 as before.
Any reason that wouldn't work for you?

I am not sure about the "reason", but it doesn't work, I still get a ZLib conflict with RTL70 that prevents me from installing it.

Remember that there is an .inc-file that need to take into account using D2007.
