+++++++++++++++ C++Builder 5/6: +++++++++++++++


1) It is assumed that you already unzipped all files to a folder of your choice, f.e. c:\components\ThlSkinButton\ . For each supported version of C++Builder and Delphi a subfolder should have been created.

2) Start C++Builder. If C++Builder is already running close all currently opened projects.

3) Press "File" and select "Open". Browse for the package file that matches your C++Builder version and open it. The package files are named like "hlSkinButtonX_XYY.bpk", where X_X is the current version number and YY is the C++Builder version (f.e. B6).

4) In the upcoming "Package" dialog press "Install" (the dialog may be hidden by the editor window!). The package will be build and installed. After successful installation the component should appear in the component palette on a tab named "Heelana".

5) Add the component folder to the library path (Tools->Environment Options->Library) such that your projects will find the necessary files.

6) Finally do "Close All". If you are asked whether to save changes confirm with "NO".

 
Note: the bpl file will be created in the default bpl output directory, usally $(BCB)\Projects\Bpl\ (see Tools->Environment Options->Library).

If you encounter linker errors in C++Builder 6 have a look at the file Bcb6Errors.txt
