PNG Delphi

Installing the component for Delphi

Beginning with the version 1.53, the component is distributed with its own Delphi packages and should be installed as any other components.

All you have to do is install the packages within Delphi environment. This usually is simple as:

  1. First of all, copy (unzip) all the files to any directory (mainting the original directory structure);
  2. Go to the package sub-directory using Windows Explorer;
  3. Opening the package for your version of Borland Delphi. This will open the Delphi environment;
  4. Press the Install in the window that will pop up.
  5. You have just installed PngImage, now close the package window (Don't forget to put "Yes" when it ask if you want to save the package).


You may also want  to add the unit to the search path (instructions for Delphi 5).

  1. This time, go to the "Tools" menu and select the item "Enviroment Options".
  2. Click on the "Library" page.
  3. On the field "Library path" add a ";" followed by the unit directory. For instance ";c:\png".
  4. Click on the ok button.
