Installing RemObjects Hydra for Delphi 2007

Hydra
1

I have just installed the RemObjects Hydra Trial version for Delphi 2007. But after installation I found that it’s not supported for Delphi 2007.

Then I found instructions to manually install it at http://wiki.remobjects.com/wiki/How_to_manually_install_Hydra but I couldn’t find any source folder in the installation directory.

Does it mean that the wiki article is very old and the support for Delphi 2007 is totally withdrawn.

Thanks,

Source codes available only for full version of Hydra.

But our installer should support D2007 in both full and trial editions, do you get any errors?

Hi ejay,

The error message is something like below:
“This application has failed to start because vcliex100.bpl was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem.”

After clicking the OK button on the error window, I get couple of other error messages given below:

Can’t load C:\Program Files (x86)\RemObjects Software\Everwood\Bin\RemObjects_Everwood_D11.dcp.
The specified module could not be found

and same error message for “C:\Program Files (x86)\RemObjects Software\Hydra for Delphi\Dcu\D11\Hydra_IDE_D11.bpl”

I can confirm these files do exist in the installation directory.

However, I have also installed the same setup on another machine right now and its working fine. Both machines have Windows 8.1, Delphi 2007.

The only difference is during the installation I checked both checkboxes to add the path to environment variable PATH and “Append with Delphi’s override path” on the machine where its not working and for the machine where its working I didn’t check the “Append with Delphi’s override path” and installed with default options. I don’t know if it makes any difference.

Yes, Delphi searchs for packages in the known paths (system, and own overrides). By default our installer uses system PATH, it is possible that your path is too long and installer wasn’t able to add new entry, or sometimes it needs to reboot OS. Or you can also reinstall Hydra with usage of “Append with Delphi’s override path” option.
