The Xceed Component Installer will copy all the necessary files into the library's installation folder (usually in \Program Files\Xceed Components\Bin\ActiveX) and register the XCEEDZIP.DLL ActiveX / COM component. The only thing left to do is to make the control available in your Delphi 3.0 environment by inserting the control into the toolbar. To do this, perform the following steps:
Start Delphi 3.0 (Delphi 3.0 Maintenance Release 2 or newer is recommended)
Open an existing project or create a new project
From the Component menu, select the Import ActiveX control item
Select the "Xceed Zip Compression Library 6.0" item from the list of installed ActiveX controls (if the component is not there, we recommend that you reinstall the library on your machine instead of choosing the Add button and selecting the XCEEDZIP.DLL control from the Windows System directory)
Click on the Install button that's on the Import ActiveX dialog
The Install dialog will appear. Click on the "Into new package" tab.
Enter a filename and path for the new package in the "File Name" field. It should be a ".DPK" file, and you'll probably want to put it with your other package files in your Delphi installation folder. We suggest that the name of the DPK file be the same as the component.
Click OK in the Install dialog
Delphi will then ask you to confirm the rebuild – click Yes in the Confirm dialog.
If everything was successful, you should get a message that the package has been updated and that the new components have been registered.
Close the package dialog
Click Yes when you are prompted to confirm the changes.
You have now successfully installed the Xceed Zip Compression Library v6.x ActiveX control in Delphi 3. The components should appear in your component toolbar (ActiveX or Xceed tabs).
The License method must be called to license the library for runtime use. This applies to both registered users as well as users of a time-limited free trial license.
