Hello

The nrComm Lib v8.14 (and higher) supports the Delphi/C++Builder 2009 now.
There were serious internal changes for support new Unicode platform.
We tested library good but the problems are possible.

Please report about any unexpected behaviour of components and we will fix troubles asap.

I tried to install this new version (8.27 was in the filename) and I selected C++ Builder 5 and C++ Builder 2007 as my install targets.  When I ran C++ Builder 5, I got an error message that the .bpl file was not installed.  I looked in the folder where I installed to, and there is no .bpl file.  I did change the installation folder name if that matters.

[Roman Novgorodov]

Hello

There is one problem with C++Builder 5.
It seems like it has a trouble in resource linker.
The latest version of nrComm Lib contains too big size of binary resource for this linker.

You can try to find file bin\rlink32.dll in BCB5 home directory and replace it by new one from attachment.

Yes, of course, you can deploy result EXE or DLL binaries of your project.

You can't deploy nrComm Lib sources, standalone packages, or nrComm Lib setup.

My old computer failed, so I have moved my current Delphi project (and installed nrComm 9.15) to a new Windows 7 computer.  nrComm is included in a Uses clause in the program.   When I attempt to run my program, I get one error:

F1026 File not found: ‘nrwin32.dcu’

I have verified that the nrComm files (including nrwin32.dcu) are located in: C\program files(x86)\nrComm lib and have found the directory paths C:\Program Files (x86)\nrComm Lib\Delphi15 and ….\Res in:
 
Project/Options/Resource Complier/Directories & Conditionals/Include file search paths

Is nrComm installed correctly??  Is a search path missing??  Would appreciate any sugestions.

[Roman Novgorodov]

Hello

If you see correct paths in the project options and needed files DCU are located in tis path, project should compile without problem.

Do you see nrComm Lib components in Delphi Pallet?
Please try to create new empty project and drop some nrComm components to form at design time.
Now try rebuild and run project. Does it work without compiler errors?

What version of Delphi do you use ? We need know full build number and edition.

Possible something wrong with access rights to folders.
You can try small test: uninstall library and install it into other directory (f.e. C:\temp)
Also you can tun off UAC

Thanks for your response.  To answer your questions:
- No, I do not see the nrComm Lib components in the Tools Pallet so I can't build a simple test project
- I am using Delphi XE version 15.0.3953.35171 (with update 1) under Window 7 6.1 (build 7600)

I tried reinstalling nrComm in a temp directory.  The directory shows up in Projects/Options.. but no components in the Tool Pallet

Sorrry, I don't know what UAC is.

Appreciate your help

[rhilbish]

Not sure if it makes any difference, but I am using Delphi XE Starter

[Roman Novgorodov]

Hello

Possible XE Starter edition does not support command line compilation.
Please try latest version of nrComm Lib.
