WPTools 7 VCL Demo Installation Problems

1. offizieller Beitrag

    Yesterday I downloaded and attempted to install the WPTools7 VCL demo for Delphi XE. I already have wPDF installed and wanted to test WPTools7 without WPPremium but linked with wPDF. To successfully do this I had to do the following:

    1. Open WPINC.INC and undefine WPPREMIUM and define WPPDFEX.
    2. Add 'WPRTEDefsConsts, WPRTEPlatform, WPRTEEdit' to the uses clause in the WPPDFWP.pas unit.
    3. Search for and download the missing 'WPToolsDlg' unit files from here:
    http://wpcubed.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=12349
    4. Open the 'WPTools_Reg' unit and on line 183 correct the class name 'TWPCreatePDFDlg' to 'TWPCreatePDF'.
    5. Do a build and install.

    This process took a couple of hours instead of the expected 5 - 10 minutes for installation. It was very disappointing and frustrating. I certainly hope that my further experience with this product is much better than this.

    Hopefully my post might help others resolve similar problems until the Demo installation is fixed.

    Thank You,

    The demo is compiled with WPPremium source included. It does not make a difference if WPPremium is removed from WPINC.INC.

    If you have installed wPDF please remove the package from the package list bevore You install WPTools.

    Then install WPTools and edit WPINC.INC to activate the PDF Export to make one package with wPDF and WPTools.

    TWPCreatePDFDlg was not registered before - the last update broke the Setup. It is not required fror the functionality though.

    TWPCreatePDFDlg is defined in http://WPToPDFDlg.pas/dfm which had been forgotten in the wptools demo Setup.
