============================================================ Deploying Delphi 7 Applications ============================================================ Please read this entire file before deploying Delphi 7 app- lications, components, or libraries. This file is provided pursuant to the Borland License Terms and provides information on deploying Delphi 7 applications.

Delphi Utilities 12. Removed Or Modified "Redistributable" Files 1. General Application Deployment =========================================================== Delphi 7 applications do not require an interpreter. In general, all you have to provide is your .EXE file and any DLLs or BPLs that it calls. For simple applications you can distribute a standalone .EXE file. CLX applications are an exception to this as you must always redistribute qtintf70.dll for VisualCLX applications. If you have used runtime packages with your application, be sure to include all required BPLs with your distribution. 2. Components and Packages =========================================================== 2.1 Distributing Custom Packages -------------------------------- If you distribute Delphi 7 packages to other developers, be sure to supply both .DCP and .BPL files. You will probably also want to include .DCU files as well as documentation. Package Collection (.DPC) files, created with the Package Collection Editor, offer a convenient way to distribute all the files associated with a package or group of packages. 2.2 Borland Runtime Packages ---------------------------- In accordance with the General Terms That Apply to Compiled Programs and Redistributables, you may redistribute Borland-supplied runtime packages only for the purpose of executing Works created with Delphi. You may not modify these packages in any way. By default the redistributable runtime packages are installed in the system-files directory of the computer (commonly this is the \windows\system on Windows98, \WINNT\System32 on Windows 2000 and Windows XP computers). Although this software may include packages other than those listed below, only the packages identified below as redistributable may be redistributed by you. You may NOT redeploy Borland-supplied design-time-only packages. You may not recompile or redistribute any Borland-supplied components or libraries for use by other developers. Packages that you develop may not have the same names as Borland-supplied packages. If you distribute component libraries or other packages, it is recommended that you avoid using the default DCLUSR package name, since this will cause naming conflicts with other developers. 2.3 Runtime packages: Architect and Enterprise Editions ----------------------------------------------------------- If you are a licensed user of Delphi 7 Architect or Enterprise, redistributable runtime packages include the following: adortl70.bpl bdertl70.bpl cc3260mt.dll dbexpress70.bpl dbrtl70.bpl dbxcds70.bpl dclaxserver70.bpl dcloffice2k70.bpl dclofficexp70.bpl dsnap70.bpl (ClientDataSet Redistributable) dsnapcon70.bpl (ClientDataSet Redistributable) dsnapent70.bpl (ClientDataSet Redistributable) dss70.bpl ibevnt70.bpl ibxpress70.bpl inet70.bpl inetdb70.bpl inetdbbde70.bpl inetdbxpress70.bpl intrawebdb_50_70.bpl intraweb_50_70.bpl midas.dll (ClientDataSet Redistributable) qrpt70.bpl qtinf70.dll rave50clxbe70.bpl rave50vclbe70.bpl rtl70.bpl soaprtl70.bpl stdvcl32.dll stdvcl40.dll tee70.bpl teedb70.bpl teeqr70.bpl teeui70.bpl vcl70.bpl vclactnband70.bpl vcldb70.bpl vcldbx70.bpl vclie70.bpl vcljpg70.bpl vclshlctrls70.bpl vclsmp70.bpl vclx70.bpl visualclx70.bpl visualdbclx70.bpl webdsnap70.bpl websnap70.bpl xerceslib.dll xercesxmldom.dll xmlrtl70.bpl 2.4 Runtime packages: Professional Edition ------------------------------------------ If you are a licensed user of Delphi 6 Professional, redistributable runtime packages include the following: adortl70.bpl bdertl70.bpl cc3260mt.dll dbexpress70.bpl dbrtl70.bpl dbxcds70.bpl dclaxserver70.bpl dcloffice2k70.bpl dclofficexp70.bpl dsnap70.bpl ibevnt70.bpl ibxpress70.bpl inet70.bpl inetdb70.bpl inetdbbde70.bpl inetdbxpress70.bpl intrawebdb_50_70.bpl intraweb_50_70.bpl midas.dll (ClientDataSet Redistributable) qrpt70.bpl qtinf70.dll rave50clxbe70.bpl rave50vclbe70.bpl rtl70.bpl soaprtl70.bpl stdvcl32.dll stdvcl40.dll tee70.bpl teedb70.bpl teeqr70.bpl teeui70.bpl vcl70.bpl vclactnband70.bpl vcldb70.bpl vcldbx70.bpl vclie70.bpl vcljpg70.bpl vclshlctrls70.bpl vclsmp70.bpl vclx70.bpl visualclx70.bpl visualdbclx70.bpl xerceslib.dll xercesxmldom.dll xmlrtl70.bpl 2.5 Runtime packages: Personal Edition -------------------------------------- If you are a licensed user of Delphi 7 Personal, redistributable runtime packages include the following: rtl70.bpl vcl70.bpl vclx70.bpl vcljpg70.bpl vclshlctrls70.bpl vclsmp70.bpl 3. The Borland Database Engine (BDE) =========================================================== Delphi 7 applications that use the Borland Database Engine (BDE) for database access require that you distribute the BDE with the application. In accordance with the Additional License Terms for BDE, you may distribute the BDE files with your application using a Borland-certified Redistributable Install program such as InstallShield Express or another compliant install program. You may redistribute only those BDE files selected by the Borland-certified installation program. Additionally, Borland supplies a BDE merge module that is an approved mechanism for deploying BDE. This module may be used with any Windows Installer (MSI) development tool (such as InstallShield for Windows Installer, Wise for Windows Installer and others). The merge module includes the base BDE and SQL Links appropriate to the version of Delphi purchased. See the BDE Links deployment notes in the file BDEDEPLOY.TXT (found in the BDE directory) for specific information regarding deploying the BDE with database applications created in Delphi. 4. ActiveX Controls (OCXs) =========================================================== Delphi includes ActiveX Controls (OCXs) for use in your applications: o Chart FX, copyright SoftwareFX Inc. o VisualSpeller Control, copyright Visual Components, Inc. o Formula One (spreadsheet), copyright Visual Components, Inc. o First Impression (VtChart), copyright Visual Components, Inc. The version of each of these OCXs shipped with Delphi may be redistributed in custom Delphi applications. Such redistribution is subject to the General Terms That Apply to Compiled Programs and Redistributables. 5. Sample Images =========================================================== Delphi includes a library of redistributable bitmap images normally installed in the subdirectory: \Program Files\Common Files\Borland Shared\Images Delphi also includes a database EVENTS.DB with licensed images from PhotoDisc. The images in this database are copyright PhotoDisc, Inc. 1995 and may not be redistributed. 6. WebSnap Application Deployment =========================================================== If you created your application as a Web App Debugger executable, you will first have to convert it to an ISAPI DLL, CGI executable, or Apache Shared Module. To deploy your DLL or EXE to a web server, you will have to place your application in a directory that has executable rights. With Internet Information Services (IIS) this is typically C:\Inetpub\Scripts. For each WebModule in your application, you must copy the associated HTML file to the same directory as your EXE/DLL. By default, the associated HTML file is simply the WebModule unit's name with .html as the extension. � WebSnap applications require the Microsoft Active Scripting Engine in order to work. It is included with Internet Explorer 5, and is installed by default on Windows 2000 machines. To download the Scripting Engine, visit: http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting/ 7. SQL Links deployment (Enterprise edition only) =========================================================== 7.1 SQL Links redistributable files ------------------------------------ See the BDE/SQL Links deployment notes in the file BDEDEPLOY.TXT (found in the BDE directory) for specific information regarding redeploying the SQL Links software. (SQL Links is available only with the Delphi 7 Enterprise edition.) 7.2 InterBase -------------- See the BDE/SQL Links deployment notes in the file BDEDEPLOY.TXT (found in the BDE directory) for specific information regarding redeploying the SQL Links software for InterBase. 8. JPEG compression software =========================================================== The Delphi CD includes software for JPEG image compression and decompression. This software and its source code are distributed by the Independent JPEG Group and copyrighted by Thomas G. Lane. For conditions of distribution and use, see the README file that accompanies the software. 9. Data compres...
