First, start by making a copy of the SOURCE folder in the folder containing the Add-In Express 2.3 (non-trial) version.

Then, install BDS 2006 if you haven't yet.

Next, download the trial version of Add-In Express 2.3 VCL from Borland CodeCentral (link here).

Then, install it (if you want to install it in the same folder as the 2.3 non-trial, you should first uninstall that version).

Next, copy the saved SOURCE over the one in the trial version (and replace existing files, if need be).

Then, edit 2 files:

In adxAddIn.pas, locate 2 blocks starting with 
{$IFDEF ADX_VCL9}
and ending with 
{$ENDIF}
, duplicate them and change 
ADX_VCL9
into 
ADX_VCL10
;

In adxDefs.inc, duplicate the block starting with 
{$IFDEF VER170} { Delphi 2005 Win32 }
and ending with 
{$ENDIF}
and change 
VER170
into 
VER180
and 
2005
into 
2006
.

Now simply open a command prompt and goto the source folder and type this line: 

dcc32 adxAddIn.pas adxAddInDesignerObjects.pas adxOffice.pas adxRTDServ.pas adxSmartTag.pas adxSmartTagTLB.pas FrontPage2000.pas FrontPageEditor2000.pas MapPoint2002.pas Project2000.pas Publisher2003.pas Visio2002.pas -U"C:Program FilesBorlandBDS.0Imports"


(Change the path in the end if you installed BDS 2006 into a different folder.)

Now, simply copy the DCUs in the 
SOURCE
folder into the 
D10Units
folder, as the trial installer already added that folder into the proper paths, and you're good to go!

HTH,

Hi Fernando,

Add-in Express VCL 2.4 has been published. We don't recommend carring out such experiments in future.
