Step by step upgrade of Indy 10 in Delphi 2009

Question

Can someone help in telling the details on how to uninstall Indy 10 and install the latest build? I found it http://indy.fulgan.com/ZIP/IndyTiburon.zip

There is a similar question, but not a satisfying answer, just some comments from the user who asked, but that is not a step by step guide.

Why there is not a tool for this?

Answer 1

I did this very recently, I've done it before with 2007 and had lots of problems, but this time in D2010 it went really well...

Assumptions:

1. The Indy BPL's are stored in the bin folder
2. DCP and DCU are stored in the libindy10 folder
3. Source code is sourceindyindy10 (then you have core/protocol/system subfolders)

Directions:

So, I took the BPL/DCP/DCU files and saved them somewhere safe (just in case) I renamed the core/protocol/system folders to core.old/protocol.old/system.old I then copied the core/protocol/system folders from the indytiburon.zip into sourceindyindy10 folder

Now, the packages have to be built in the following order:

System - Core - Protocol - dclCore - dclProtocol

For Delphi 2009, open the packages whose names end in 130; for Delphi 2010, 140.

I opened each package, then in the options I pasted the full path to libIndy10 into the DCP and Unit output directory fields, and the full path to bin into the package output directory field.

Then I built the packages. For the dcl packages I also installed.

Certainly for 2010 it went without a hitch!
