Borland Delphi 7
Install the components manually by following these instructions:
1. Unzip the files to the desired directory. (Due to the large number of files included with the Crystal VCL components, we recommend choosing a separate directory for this purpose).
2. Open Delphi 7, and choose File | Close All to close any open projects.
3. Go to the Tools menu and choose Environment Options. In the Environment Options dialog, choose the Library tab, and edit the Library Path to include the Crystal VCL directory.
Note: If there are any other paths in the Library path that point to older Crystal VCL components, these must either be removed, or the older component files must be removed, otherwise the installation of the new components will fail.
4. Choose File | Open and load the "dcl7cr9.dpk" file (or "vcl7cr9.dpk" if you are compiling the components for runtime only and will not be compiling them into your application).
5. When the DPK file is loaded, you should see a dialog with some buttons at the top. Press the Compile button. When compilation is finished, press the Install button (if you are compiling the vcl7cr9.dpk, do not press "Install" as it cannot be installed as a visual component).
If you get an error saying that the component cannot be installed because it contains units which are already in use by another component please check step 3 again (most likely there are older Crystal VCL source files found in one of the Library Paths).
You should get a message that TCrpe/TCrpeDS are now registered (again, this does not apply to "vcl7cr9.dpk"), and the component icons should appear on the "Data Access" tab of the Component Palette.
