Installing components into Delphi 11

1

I know I’m asking the basic questions

I have down loaded the CRC
I have the FormDesigner.Package.dproj File that I know Delphi uses -
Delphi 7 IDE I’m use to
Delphi 11 IDE - Component> install component > I open up the project folders
then - New folder > FormDesigner and put all files of the CRC in the folder
FormDesigner.Package.dproj I know is the key file but it not displayed as if I’m in the wrong place
So what am I doing wrong?
I see FormDesigner is written for an other Delphi version ?

Hi @lexdeanair ,
Try opening FormDesigner.Package.dproj right clicking in the project manager and select “Install”. It should confirm that a class has been installed. I think that is what you are trying to do.

Delphi loads it in with the project but its not accessible to the project
I’m looking for a selectable component to add to my form

has

FormDesigner.Package.dpk
FormDesigner.Package.dproj

it does not have a *.BPL file
I can load it Delphi says but its not registering it to display its components to install into a project

Not following the readme.md instructions? They say nothing about “Component - install component”. Step 2 applies to the Project Manager (as Geoff also says).

I feel I was lead incorrectly - like Delphi 7 main menu > components… is the direction
some on must have written something on this subject around Delphi 11 level
