Cindy packages install instructions

I. Uninstall previous versions :

tip: if your current installed Cindy version is v4.0 or newer, you don' t need to uninstall the components!

Just replace the old Cindy files by new ones (delete old folder and unzip cindy components file at the same location!) and go to II. Install packages section.

In Delphi IDE, select the 'Component' menu and click on 'Install packages' item.

In the new window with the component package list installed, locate:

- "Cindy components pack" item, select it and click the 'Remove' button.

- "Cindy Internet Explorer Wrappers" item, select it and click the 'Remove' button.

- "Cindy design time package" item, select it and click the 'Remove' button.

Click 'Ok' to close the window.

Important note:

Old Cindy package versions (below V2.5) were named like "Tcy something ..." need to be removed like described before installing this new version!

Now, you can delete all files from Cindy components directory.
