Question

Can someone please give me a step by step on how to build an installation disk for my Delphi 2010 application?

I have tried both InstallAware Express Edition which comes with Delphi 2010 but keeps on giving me error message for it continue to look for *120.bpl instead of *140.bpl

I have also tried InnoSetup with ISTool but fail to work, which I believe I am not setting it up properly…. (e.g. failed to include all required packages)

My Apps is a simple database enquiry which I used dbExpress to connect to my ms-sql database.

I have also tried switching the flag in Delphi 2010 for “Built with Packages”, no luck also…

Please help….

I am leaning toward using InnoSetup instead, but can someone tell me what is the typical set up is like… much appreciated.

Cheers.

dbexpress in Delphi 2010 don’t need nothing to be registered when deployed.

You simply need to create a folder with:

1. your executable.
2. all the required packages.
3. libmysql.dll
4. dbxmys.dll
5. midas.dll (if you are not using midaslib in your uses clause)

This is a easy work for an installer.
