Summary0003817: JCL 1.97 or higher required
Descriptioni tried to install JVCL300CompleteJCL195-Build1848-2.zip on my rebuilt computer and got the error:

JCL 1.95 or higher required

after screwing around with that for a while, trying various other versions, i downloaded the newest JVCL320CompleteJCL197-Build2172.zip and went to install JCL and then JVCL again:

JCL 1.97 or higher required

frequently deleted all dir's of older versions. emptied bpl dir. very frustrated. why does there always seem to be trouble installing JVCL? i dread installing a new JVCL.

it's no use to me if i can't install it.

Use the daily zips, and always run the JCL installer FIRST.

but i need to pick a stable version to use for months--not some daily build. that's why i try to use the installers that are together--i just want to get back to work and wish to ensure they're compatible by some other means than guessing and trying.

>and always run the JCL installer FIRST.

yes; i'm aware of that and always did it that way.

i did these installations very carefully and deliberately. i don't understand why this would be happening. using d2006 but have seen this with d2005 before.

thank you for your effortsbuilding/supporting JCL and JVCL!

The official releases are just renamed daily builds, with just packaging around.
As to compatibility, if you use daily's from the same day, they work together, especially during those days as not much development is occuring (summer holidays in the northern hemisphere).
We know there were problems with the 3.2 release, but they were fixed shortly after. A 3.30 release is in the works but will not come before september.
In the meantime, you could run the installer in Delphi and see why it does not find the JCL, and then report back here about your findings.

so this error means it couldn't find it? it seems to have found the directory.

you can close this issue.

thank you for your help.

Maybe we should add a check for "Was Delphi started after its installation" to the the Installers.

is that required/suggested to run delphi after installing JCL?

FYI--in all the install/uninstalls of JCL, it wiped out delphi's win32 library paths. the result was that only JCL paths were there. happily i kept a copy from my previous installation of d2006.

> is that required/suggested to run delphi after installing JCL?

No. It is a requirement after the installation of Delphi, before any component pack is installed.

The JVCL Installer is a separate tool that has nothing in common with the JCL Installer.

thank you!
