Hello I downloaded Pngcomponents on this link I tried to install it in the install Components of Delphi but it didn’t work, if someone could help me I would be very grateful.

It is listed in Packages but when I create a project the component does not appear, I am beginner in Delphi and I think I have not installed the component correctly. PngComponents

delphi

  • Dude, I noticed that in the package there is Pngcomponents and Pngcomponentsdesign, by chance you installed the latter?

  • installed it still does not appear, after installing the Packages I must do something else?

  • Dude, I honestly never installed components by the Delphi installer. If I were you I would try to install manually that would be more successful.

  • Source code always updated on this link: https://github.com/TurboPack/PNGComponents

I have installed this component in several versions of Delphi. I can guide you how to install.

You need to follow the following steps:

  1. When you download this component from the Embarcadero website, does it come in a correct compressed file? Then you extract it into a folder.

    Let’s say you extracted in C: Delphi PNG components

  2. In the case of Delphi Berlin, inside this folder there will be a folder called Packagesberlin. With Delphi open, you go to the open command (whatever the open command) and go to this folder, and specify the file Pngcomponentsgroup.groupproj

  3. With this package open in Delphi, you go to Project Manager (usually on the right side of Delphi), and two Packages will be listed there. You must select the first item from the list: Pngcomponentsgroup, then you click with the right mouse side and choose Build All.

  4. Then you locate in this same list the package Pngcomponentsdesign (the icon is a box equal to the other package, but has a gray symbol on top of this box). Right click on this package and choose Install. A message will appear that the components have been registered in the Delphi IDE. You can click the button Save All and close the entire group proj using the function Close All.

  5. Now you must go to the menu Tools, and choose the item Options. Locate the item in the list on the left Environment Options Delphi Options Library. Unless you are going to use 64-bit platform, select 32-bit right in the first combobox. Then right after the Library Path box, click the button on the right side (...). Locate the same Packagesberlin folder as before. Inside this folder you should have a folder called Win32, and inside it you should have a Release call. It is this folder that you must specify (following the example folder there from the beginning, it would look: C: Delphi Components PNG Packagesberlin Win32 Release), and then click on Add, and then in OK. Back to Options screen, you can also click on OK.

Ready! The component is ready to use.
