  If you have a registered Pro version, key and source code.
  When you use custom install and delete some options , ie db engines
  only the directories and files are set up you must do the compiling manually
  using directions in the install.txt file.

  Did not work ... FS5.dpk is dependent on VCLADO

  Open fs5.dpk in note pad or word pad remove refrences to ado and
  recompile both fs and fr3 libs following instructions in install.txt.
  This assumes you have source code and not pre compiled dcus only.

  Also remove any ADO references from fs_ireg.pas.

  I don't find any references in fs_ireG.pas
  
  I find this to be an absolutely totally unprofessional implementation. If I have to spend a couple of days trying to compile FR 3, then it simply is not worth the effort.

  Sorry, but we can create installation that can work with any Delphi/BCB version (personal or pro or enterprise, with/or without ibx updates, with various TeeChart versions etc). FR3 files are compiled with Delphi EE, that includes standard set of components.

  It's a 'fs_iadortti' and 'TfsADORTTI' - remove them from fs_ireg.pas

  D5pro-User: use google to find "vclado50.bpl" on german sites - there you will find one link where you can download a trial of a program (> 13 Mb :-( ). The install of this trial installs the two vclado50-files in the system directory. Then you can deinstall the trial without deleting the two vcl's and FR3 works okay without any changes. One problem: doesn't work when using the zeos components, because of double include of oledb.
  And - i have a german delphi version, maybe this will not work with other languages.
  
  But FastReport should better fix this problem ...
  a very impressed FR3 tester

  Once I learned the following:
  
  'fs_iadortti' and 'TfsADORTTI' - remove them from fs_ireg.pas
  
  then the rest worked.
  
  thank you gang for answering my questions and helping me get the product installed.
  
  I think Fast Reports could alleviate this kind of frustration by some special notes in the installation text file ....

  I just had similar problems installing FR3 Standard into D5 Professional. I just ordered the FR3 Pro version to see if the problems can be fixed with the source.

  I got the Pro version with the source and I had a problem at first.
  
  The problem was that I had duplicate .bpl files in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 directory as well as the (Delphi5)\PROJECTS\BPL directory. Delphi was updating the \BPL directory, but was trying to load from the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. Deleting the files in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 directory, and letting the ones in the (Delphi5)\PROJECTS\BPL directory load, was the answer.

  Where are those references ? I can't remove them, they don't exist.
  
  Thanks,

  I found 2 solutions for C++ Builder
  
  1) If you have 3.12, do a Custom Install and do not select ADO
  
  2) If you already installed, and get the ADO error at start up, go into the Install Components, and remove the FastReport ADO component.
