You would not expect to find them on your component palette.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Hi Richard<br>
<br>
I have this version of Delphi ....<br>
CodeGearTM RAD Studio 2007 Version 11.0.2804.9245 Copyright © 2007
CodeGearTM.<br>
with Indy Direct version 10.1.5 installed.<br>
<br>
Hopefully you can help with my problem ...<br>
<br>
I want to use an indy component called IdAttachmentFile - I know it exists as I
have the .pas file for it in the<br>
C:\Program Files\CodeGear\RAD Studio\5.0\source\Indy\Indy10\Protocols driectory
and have seen<br>
references to it on the net and in code samples. BUT I don't see it in any of
the the Indy Component Pallets.<br>
Plus I cannot see how to do a reinstall of what is obviously there.<br>
<br>
So I download the latest update from <a
href="http://indy.fulgan.com/ZIP/indy10.zip" target="_blank">http://indy.fulgan.com/ZIP/indy10.zip</a>
which is only days old, hoping that an<br>
update might be the answer.<br>
<br>
Trouble is I cannot find any step by step instructions on how to install this
update - there are these instrction in the<br>
help system but there are no more specifics on how this is done.<br>
<br>
Delphi and C++ Builder Installation<br>
Installing Indy.Sockets in a Borland IDE involves using the run-time and
design-time packages<br>
files to compile the source code in the library. After compiling the packages
and source code,<br>
design-time packages are installed in the IDE to make the components available
on the component<br>
palette.<br>
For Delphi and C++ Builder, the run-time package files should be opened and
compiled in the<br>
following order:<br>
* IndySystem (in LibSystem)<br>
* IndyCore (in LibCore)<br>
* IndyProtocols (in LibProtocols)<br>
* IndySuperCore (in LibSuperCore) (for Delphi 7 only)<br>
For Delphi and C++ Builder, the design-time package files should be opened,
compiled, and<br>
installed in the following order:<br>
* dclIndyCore (in LibCore)<br>
* dclIndyProtocols (in LibProtocols)<br>
* dclSuperCore (in LibSuperCore) (for Delphi 7 only)<br>
<br>
What is the step by step process for all of this, I have roamed the net in vain
for some enlightenment but<br>
cannnot penetrate the techspeak for a simple how to.<br>
<br>
I hope you can help me out here with a process, or a more helpful source on the
net.<br>
<br>
Many thanks<br>
<br>
Graham Marsden<br>
