Installation under Delphi

Note: Some of the units (such as CDATA, or MATH1) are non-visual components. These units are not available in the VCL palette, but can be accessed by including the particular unit name to the 'uses' statement of your program.
If there are any SDL components installed having a release number of less than 5.0, you have to remove all SDL components from the VCL palette before installing the SDL Component Suite.

The installation of the SDL Component Suite under Delphi is straightforward:

1. Close Delphi
2. Uninstall any previous version of the SDL Component Suite. Note: uninstalling versions with release number below 6.6 involves manually removing the SDL files and clearing the corresponding library path entry. We improved the installation process with version 6.6 to be much more convenient by simply calling the setup program. Such a new installation can be uninstalled simply by performing a "Remove Software" command from the Windows control panel.
3. Run the executable "setup_sdlsuite_vvDxyy.exe" (vv is the version of the component suite, x is the Delphi version, and yy is either 'le' or 'fu' for the Light Edition or the full version, respectively).
4. Start Delphi, the SDL Component Suite can be found on the tab "SDL" of the component palette.
5. Install the help file using Delphi's open help tool.
