installing v8 over v4

Narcis:
I will try that. But please, if possible, can you answer my questions about v5, v6 and v7 as it appears you have duplicated my result with v8.

Narcis:
The Build with Runtime Packages is not enabled.
Again, I suppose I could download each version (v5,v6 and v7) and try each to see if they would function or not; but I assume you would know this already and save me the time and effort. TeeChart v8 is, as of right now, useless for us and we need your assistance to move forward.

Hi Roy,

just let you know we're investigation why this happens with bcb4. We'll back to you asap.

Hi Roy,

Also let you know that we found it works fine using TeeChart Pro v6 VCL and disabling "Build with runtime packages" option.

Narcis:
Thanks for the support. Can you lead to where I could download v6?

Hi Roy,

Please contact our Sales Dept. at sales at steema dot com for that.

Thanks in advance.

I found that v8 is about 36Meg in size and v7 is about 27Meg in size but for v6 I only found a file that is about 14Meg in size. Would this be correct?

Hi Roy,

Yes, that's correct.

I downloaded the v6 code and installed on my backup computer. Installation went smoothly. I changed my default directories to the v6 libraray and include directories, activated the v6 packages and insured that the "Build with runtime packages" was not checked. I created a sample program just like the one I sent you and compiled and linked. When running this sample program I get the Access Violation error just as with v8 except I also get the error with the FillSampleValues() routinr as well. It appears that something about the v4 that Borland installed as part of the Builder4 is left and causing the problems. Any idea how and where to search for these?

Hi Roy,

Yes, you should first check at Project -> Options -> Packages that TeeChart v4 packages are disabled and that v6 packages are enabled. Then go to Project -> Options -> Directories/Conditionals and check that v6 "Include" and "Lib" folders are on *top* of the Include and Library path lists respectively. Finally enable the left-bottom "Default" checkbox.

Done all of that. Checked the "Default" box several times and then selected "OK" to finish. Forced a rebuild and still am getting the Access Violation error. There must be a reference to the the old v4 somewhere that is not getting changed. Should I remove all v4 files from the Borland include and library directories and can you give me a list of all of the v4 files so I can search and remove them?

Hi Roy,

You could try saving your project, manually edit the project file (*.bpr) with notepad and search for hardcoded old TeeChart references (tee40.*, tee7C4.*, tee8C4.*, etc.). Remove those references. Save the project file and load it again.

Narcis:
Already did that with no help. There are several files in the Borland Builder Bin, Lib and Include directories that are obviously for v4. I would like to remove them (one at a time) to see if there is any improvement. It would be helpful to know all of the v4 files I should be looking for.

One thing I did nor mention earlier, when I loaded v6 and changed the Include and Lib file paths in the Project->Options I still got the linker message that it could not find the Tee6C4.lib file. I copied this file into the Borland Lib directory and then the compiler finished. I double checked that the paths were correct, but it implies that it is not looking in those directories. Could this be the problem, and if so, how might I correct it?

Narcis:
It appears that Builder4 does not comprehend the path:
C:\Program Files\Steema Software\TeeChart 6.01 for C++ Builder 4\CBuilder4\Include
-or-
C:\Program Files\Steema Software\TeeChart 6.01 for C++ Builder 4\CBuilder4\Lib

I created a new directories:
C:\Steema601\Include
C:\Steema601\Lib
I then copied the files from the original directories to the new directories

I then removed the long paths in the "Project->Options->Directories/Conditionals" and replaced them with the ones I created.

Note: I am using Microsoft Windows XP Professional.

With these changes, everything functions perfectly as expected.
1] Does this seem reasonable?
2] If so, should it also work with v8?
