Installation problem

lorenzob

I can not install the update 5.4.0 for Delphi 7.
I had no problems for the XE3 version, but under D7 I can not install it, in practice there are 2 files that i can't install: DCLFRX7.BPL and DCLFREX7.BPL (for the others files I have no problems), the error reported is "Can not find entry point procedure" (translated from Italian).
As operating system I'm working on WIN10.
Can anyone tell me what is the correct method to update FastReport, you must first uninstall the old version deleting old BPL files and then install the new one, or what?

Yes! We've found that for reliable installation on computers running multiple editions of Delphi/RAD Studio, it's best to completely clean out the frx*.bpl and fs*.bpl files first.

I tried to repeat the installation several times, deleting all BPL present on D7 but I can't absolutely install the two libraries I said.
I even uninstalled completely D7 but nothing has changed on my system WIN10 64bit seems impossible to install the latest version of fastreport (5.4.0), while the installation for XE3 works perfectly!
Below you can see a message that comes out trying to install the library DCLFRX7.BPL.

Delete all FR's files in the system. Check VirtualStore folder too

Thanks a lot, the folder Virtual Store probably was the problem! Strange on WIN7 I had never had this problem, delete those files and then I was able to install the stuff!
Again thank you very much!
