C.R. I encountered a similiar difficulty.

I solved it by ..... just giving up on the thing.

I can't imagine why installing these components could be so difficult, given that BCB has numerous
other components which install fairly easily.

Regards,

:>My experience:
:>
:>1) Go to Indy's web site.
:>2) Five pages off the home page, find the installations for Indy10 and
:>determine that they only apply to Delphi and make zero sense for BCB.
:>3) Ponder why the instructions say that they are "for BCB" when they
:>obviously aren't.
:>4) Observe that the link to the "source code" is "not really recommended".
:>5) Ponder what the difference between "not recommended" and "not really
:>recommended" is.
:>6) See a link to the development snapshot.
:>7) Ponder why, if "development snapshot" is source code, too, why the
:>one link is called "source code" which logically means that the
:>"development snapshot" is something other than "source code".
:> Cool

Wonder why the links to the "development snapshots" aren't even on
:>Indy's own site.
:>9) Determine that one of the two sites where you can get the
:>"development snapshot" doesn't work.
:>10) Figure out that the FTP link to the one remaining site doesn't work.
:>11) Download the source from the HTTP link to the one remaining site.
:>12) Search newsgroups to find out how to install.
:>13) Figure out that you have to run \Lib\FullC6.bat.
:>14) Oops, that doesn't work. Search newsgroups again.
:>15) Figure out that I should have compiled computil.dpr first.
:>16) Compile computil.dpr.
:>17) Run \Lib\FullC6.bat again.
:>1 Cool

Wonder why a bunch of files named "null" appear in all of the source
:>folders. Since zero explanation is given for them, hope that they don't
:>mean something went wrong.
:>19) Wonder what the messages about not finding *.dcu, *.dcp, and
:>compile_run mean. Hope that they don't mean something went wrong.
:>20) Search for the BPLs. Find them in \C6.
:>21) Discover that there are no HPPs, OBJs, or LIBs.
:>22) Search the newsgroups again.
:>23) Find out that there is a switch for dcc32 (-jph) that outputs OBJs
:>and HPPs.
:>24) Notice that something similar to this switch (-jphn) was used in the
:>batch file for Indy9.
:>25) Wonder why it was not used in the batch file for Indy10.
:>26) Run "dcc32 /?" and see that "-jph" is not even documented.
:>27) Decide to try it anyway.
:>2 Cool

Run "dcc32 -jph IndyCore60.dpk".
:>29) That doesn't work.
:>30) Figure out that you need to include files in the \System folder.
:>31) Run "dcc32 -jph -u..\System IndyCore60.dpk".
:>32) Encounter multiple errors for IdIPAddress.pas (unsupported language
:>feature, property of array type) and IdReply.pas (unsatisfied forward or
:>external declaration: TIdReply.SetFormattedReply &
:>TIdReply.RaiseReplyError).
:>33) Observe that, apparently because of the above errors, only some HPPs
:>generated.
:>34) Observe that all OBJs were generated.
:>35) Run "dcc32 -jph IndySystem60.dpk".
:>36) Observe that all HPPs and OBJs are generated.
:>37) Start BCB.
:>3 Cool

Add the design-time BPLs to the IDE.
:>39) Try to add them to a form.
:>40) Compile and link.
:>41) Observe that link fails.
:>42) Manually add OBJs to project.
:>43) Finally get it to complile.
