estimados amigos:

pos yo empiezo en esto de delphi 2007, porque siento que debo empezar a migrar mis pequeñas aplicaciones. y aqui entre nos, pues la verdad es que no le hallo como instalar los comonentes que necesito. De lo que he investigado, pues me dicen que la forma de instalar ha cambiado despues de delphi 7.

aqui las mentadas intrucciones:

There are two ways to compile and install MyDAC for Windows manually.

I. Using IDE

Delphi and C++Builder for Win32
--------------------------------

Run your IDE and walk through the folowing steps:
1) Compile DAC run-time package (dacXX.dpk)
2) For Delphi 6,7 or C++Builder 6 compile DAC GUI related package dacvclXX.dpk
3) Compile DAC design-time package (dcldacXX.dpk)
4) Compile MyDAC run-time package (mydacXX.dpk)
5) For Delphi 6,7 or C++Builder 6 compile MyDAC GUI related package mydacvclXX.dpk.
If you are going to create CLX applications compile MydacClx.pas unit separately.
6) Compile and install MyDAC design-time package (dclmydacXX.dpk)

You can find these packages in
Source\Delphi5\*.dpk - for Delphi 5
Source\Delphi6\*.dpk - for Delphi 6
Source\Delphi7\*.dpk - for Delphi 7
Source\Delphi9\*.dpk - for Delphi 2005
Source\Delphi10\*.dpk - for Delphi 2006
Source\Delphi11\*.dpk - for Delphi 2007
Source\CBuilder5\*.bpk - for C++Builder 5
Source\CBuilder6\*.bpk - for C++Builder 6

To compile MyDAC based applications, add MyDAC Source directory path
to the "Library Path".

Es válida esta forma de instalacion para delphi 2007? porque asi instalaba en el delphi 7, sin embargo intento hacer lo mismo con 2007, lo puedo compilar, pero no lo puedo instalar ya que me dice que no es un design time package.

II. Using make-files

Delphi and C++Builder for Win32
--------------------------------

1) Go to one of the following folders (let's denote this folder %MakePath%):
Source\Delphi5 - for Delphi 5
Source\Delphi6 - for Delphi 6
Source\Delphi7 - for Delphi 7
Source\Delphi9 - for Delphi 2005
Source\Delphi10 - for Delphi 2006
Source\Delphi11 - for Delphi 2007
Source\CBuilder5 - for C++Builder 5
Source\CBuilder6 - for C++Builder 6

2) Find in the 'make.bat' line containing

set IdeDir="D:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi7

and make sure that correct path to IDE is set (always include forward
quote and do not include ending quote)

3) Run 'Make.bat'. Binaries will be copied to the %MakePath%\Mydac subfolder
4) Copy %MakePath%\Mydac\*.bpl files to a folder that is included in the
PATH environment variable
5) Run IDE and add dclmydacXX.bpl via Component->Install Packages... menu
6) To compile MyDAC based applications, add MyDAC Source directory path
to the "Library Path" list

Aqui me pierdo porque no me parece el subfolder Mydac dentro del folder donde se almacena el archivo ejecutable del delphi 2007. por cierto utilizo windows vista con delphi 2007

Cualquier ayuda, Muchas Gracias
