            INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

These instructions are also included in the Help file under the link
"Installation", with additional information on Re-Installation.

TElasticForm is provided as a zipped file ElastFrm.zip.  
Upon unzipping, it generates local directories: Delphi1, Delphi2, Delphi3, Delphi4, Delphi5, Delphi6, Delphi7 
CBuilder, CBuilder3, CBuilder4, CBuilder5, and CBuilder6 each containing the pertinent files for installation 
to the proper version of Delphi and C++Builder.  
An additional local directory Help is generated that includes the help file. 

Transfer the files the proper version to the directory where you keep your components.  
If you do not have such a directory you may wish to generate one.  For example you could have 
the following components directories:

For Delphi 1 : 	C:\CompsD1
For Delphi 2 : 	C:\CompsD2
For Delphi 3 : 	C:\CompsD3
For Delphi 4 : 	C:\CompsD4
For Delphi 5 :  C:\CompsD5
For Delphi 6 :  C:\CompsD6
For Delphi 7 :  C:\CompsD7
For C++Builder  :	C:\CB1
For C++Builder 3 :	C:\CB3
For C++Builder 4 : 	C:\CB4
For C++Builder 5 : 	C:\CB5
For C++Builder 6 : 	C:\CB6


Now you can install ElasticForm.

If you have an earlier version of ElasticForm, you MUST reinstall ElasticForm.  
It is not sufficient to simply copy the new files over the old files.  
Please follow the Re-Installation instructions further down in this page.
