Summary	0005936: JVCL components do not install under Delphi 7 Pro
Description	I just downloaded JVCL345CompleteJCL231-Build4197.zip I unzipped the ZIP, then ran the install.bat files for the jcl and the jvcl. The former installed fine. The latter, simply does not work. Regardless of the components I select to install, the following error occurs during the compilation stage of the installer (see 'additional info') Someone has a garbage character in the jvcl\run\JvPageSetup.pas file

The INSTALLATION WIZARD generates the error. The installation wizard blows up, so I don't even get a chance to "open the file in some hew viewer."

Arioch 2012-08-08 07:44 developer ~0020082	there is no relation. Installation wizards just registers files in Delphi. you can always do the same without wizard by standard Delphi ways of installing packages, just you would have to carefully manually set folders and open packages in correct dependency order. as long as u unpacked zip you can open any file any way you wish. more so, even wizard is just a PAS-file, that is compiled on request, like the rest of library

AHUser 2012-08-19 20:09 developer ~0020122	This file format problem (UTF8 vs. ANSI) was fixed in svn revision 13108 (2011-09-07)
