I don't know why. Any problem?

What is the error message?
What is your OS? Widget type?
What version of Lazarus/FPC?
What steps did you try?

I can actually install it, but it does not appear on the pallete nor
IDE can find the classes. I  opened the packages and installed them.

Which package(s) did you try?


I don't currently have an 1.0 installed. But with 1.0.8 it works.
If it is a 3rd party package, then maybe it is a problem in the
package. Please test with a package that comes with Lazarus

If you tried to create your own component (works too on 1.0.8)

- Did you "install" the package, after you created it?

- Did you add to an existing (runtime or designtime?) or new package?

In the package inspector, is there a untit that has the "register"
check box set (green run arrow in icon)

For examplie, now I installed LazWiki. I can not find it on the
pallete.

And then I tried to install EducationLaz. The whole pallete
disappeared.

Not every package has components, some will add functionality to the
menu.

I don't know LazWiki.

EducationLaz is for intentionally scaling down Lazarus, and only leave
a basic set. This is meant for use in schools and similar
environments, so pupils/beginners are not confronted with the full 
and huge set of options in the IDE.
