how to install 'ShellControls'

[jc508]

Just trying to setup a delphi world and follow the instructions ExifToolGui/Source/Vcl.ShellControls/ReadMe.txt
to patch the ShellControls.
Followed along up to line 65 ..
Open the ShellControls.groupproj in Delphi, Compile and Install the 32 Bits version.

I compiled it alright but can you please advise more about 'install'. exactly what do I install where ? into some project.
As you have probably gathered I know nothing of Delphi naming conventions.
Thanks
JC

Background. You need to install this to be able to open the main form. It installs the controls needed in the IDE.
Strictly speaking you dont need to this to compile the project, because the path has been setup in the project. But then you would only be able to do a 'batch compile'

Open the DPK file. (I have a different path of course)

Right click on the project. And Build followed by Install.
Close, if prompted Save.

Maybe you need to install the styles? See also the issue #718

After that you should be able to open the ExifToolGui.dpr. The project for building ExifToolGui.

Works now thanks

Great.
Actually Building is available in the Top menu. Project/Build. Installing in the main menu I cant find right now, but I expect it is possible.
