So I downloaded the DCEF-R306 folder and placed it somewhere.
I heard this wouldn't be the latest edition, that should be something called DCEF3, but I saw DCEF3 didn't have anything in the \bin folder so I decided to try this one.
I'm quite new at Delphi 7. Programmed in BP7 when I was a kid. Long time ago.
Here's what I did:
1st attempt:
a) Went to Install Components and installed DCEF_D7 with cefreg unit. I don't have any idea what's the unit doing around the package, but I just went forward.
At this point the path to packages appears on the Library path in Environment Options.
b) Opened guiclient project from demos\guiclient
Compilation fails with "File not found: 'cef.inc'"
c) Replacde cef.inc with ..\..\src\cef.inc
Compilation fails with "File not found 'ceflib.dcu'"
d) Revert reference back to cef.inc
.
So I said, it can't see the units.
2nd attempt:
a) Opened guiclient project from demos\guiclient.
b). Went to Install Components and install the DCEF_D7 with cefreg unit
Main compiles but can't run ("Cannot debug project unless a host application is defined")
Alas, project becomes "DCEF_D7"...
3rd attempt:
a) Made a separate copy of the guiclient folder somewhere else (myfiles\delphi7\guiclient).
b) Copied inside the *.dcu and cef.inc from \src.
Compilation fails: "File not found 'ceffilescheme.dcu'"
.
c). Further copy into myfiles\delphi7\guiclient folder everything from \demos\filescheme.
Compilation fails: "Access violation at address 00000000. Read of address 00000000".
File main.pas becomes readonly.
4th attempt:
Further copy into myfiles\delphi7\guiclient folder everything from
\bin\Win32 (including locales).
Same compilation failure with "Access violation at address 00000000. Read of address 00000000".
File main.pas becomes readonly.
I don't know what to do anymore, and I need it, because the webbrowser IE component is unusable. Delphi 7 runs in Windows 2000 compatibility mode on Server 2008 R2.
