Installation Instructions

This is an overview of installing ATagParser and ATagParser's integrated help into the Delphi environment.

Important!
If you have a previous version of ATagParser on you machine, make sure it is completely uninstalled prior to installing this version. If the Version property shows something other than version 2.04, you probably either didn't uninstall completely, or there's another copy of ATagParser located on the path.

Package Installation

1) Unzip the ATagParser.Zip file using a utility that preserves directory paths (WinZip is a good choice). This will create a folder called ATagParser with a Help folder, a Demos folder and a folder for each Delphi version from 3 to 7.

2) Start Delphi and select Component | Install Packages.

3) Click the Add button and browse to the ATagParser folder.

4) Find the folder for the version of Delphi that you're using.

5) Open the corresponding .bpl file (.dpl for Delphi 3).

6) After the package installs, click the OK button
