I downloaded the trial version of XLSReadWriteII 3.0 and installed it as per the instructions (e.g. Add the .bpl file using Components->Install) into BDS2006 Enterprise.
When I try to use the components in a C++ VCL application I get the following series of errors:
1) When I drop the TXLSReadWriteII2 component on a empty VCL form I get a messaqge that says "Catastrophic Failure" with the following additional details:
+ $B[20CB07A7]{coreide100.bpl} StructureView.StructureView.TStructureViewServices.WndProc (Line 1059, "StructureView.pas" + 3) + $B
+ $0[51F0A2A1]{rtl100.bpl } System.System.@CheckAutoResult (Line 18061, "system.pas" + 6 ) + $0
+ $0[51F40BB0]{rtl100.bpl } Classes.Classes.StdWndProc (Line 11572, "classes.pas" +
+ $0+ $6A[77D48731]{USER32.dll } GetDC + $6A
+ $14A[77D48811]{USER32.dll } GetDC + $14A
+ $122[77D489C8]{USER32.dll } GetWindowLongW + $122
+ $A[77D496C2]{USER32.dll } DispatchMessageA + $A
2) I click on OK and then see the the disclaimer that the package is a trial version, I then again click on OK.
3) When I try to compile the the VCL form with the TXLSReadWriteII2 component on it I get a dialog with a heading "Find Package Import" and it is looking for XLSRWII30_BDS2006.BPI".
4) I searched my entire hard disk and there is no such file on the disk.
5) When following the exact same sequence for a Delphi VCL application I also get the "Catastropic error" mentioned in point 1 above but the application compiles and runs OK.
Please help as I would like to use the XLS components in several C++ applications we are about to develop.
Kind regards
