Nope, not a bug. JvComputerInfo derives from TObject and cannot be installed. This was changed some time ago since it had some very serious side-effects as a component.

it is a pity which the component cannot be installed because it is very very useful and simple and significant. How one can replace it? completely think you in the future fully rewrite this component so that it can be usable? Which kind of problem have meet (example)?
Possible to cut JvComputerInfo in two components i suggest : JvGetComputerInfo and JvSetComputerInfo to have separatly good control, no good idea? the advantage is we can use only JvGetComputerInfo if we want only get info from computer...
Thank for this complementary informations.

It overwrites the serial number in the registry and other things.

 hmm!!!... ok!! it's problematic! :-)
and if we add "readonly" (boolean) properties of JvComputerInfo component to prevent and lock overvriting in the registry? or other suggest , see previously bug note suggestion and questions.

We currently have no plans to reimplement JvComputerInfo as a TComponent but you are always welcome to do it yourself and donate the result to JVCL.

ok, i'm going to try to rewrite JvComputerInfo or equivalent, but i don't know to create a tcomponent before now, difficult for me now, but i'm going to try if you can correct my bug or error programming, i'm not very good in programming, but i want contribute to jvcl (sorry for my english, i'm french).
i'm going to create JvGetComputerInfo and JvSetComputerInfo tcomponent later for test, because too ComputerInfo is important component for all (get info).
don't critic my result if it's not very good coding, ok? thank for comprehensive.

Just upload the resulting components here and I'll have a look (create a new bug report for it). And I promise I won't critizise your coding<g>

BTW, the computer info component in the Advanced Control Pack has the following properties. Maybe that could server as a starting point:
