Thinking that the Delphi IDE might be 32-bit and somehow I need to build this package under 32-bit, I tried that.

Nothing changed if I try to Build using Windows 64-bit. I want to build Windows 64-bit projects only. To do it to the Windows 32-bit library path is very confusing to me. However, I added the bin, debug, and release folders to both my Windows 64-bit library path and my Windows 32-bit library path. I have Python 3.9 on my system and all of the Python libraries that I will be using need Python 3. I am concerned that designide270 somehow refers to Python 2.7 which is not what I want, but that is the only designide*.bpl on my system. However, when I right-clicked in the Projects area and chose "Build." it failed with the error "Required Package DesignIDE not found." It looked to me like something was probably missing in my library path, so I searched my drive for "DesignIDE" and found designide270.bpl in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcader\Studio\21.0\bin folder and designide.dcp in the \win32\release and \win32\debug folders. I believe that I am supposed to build the project at this point (and then perhaps Install?).

I did not add them to Windows 32-bit at first but did so later even though I only want to build Windows 64-bit programs.Īs instructed, I found oupproj in my "D:\Components\P4D\Pacakges\Delphi\Delphi 10.4+" directory and opened it within the Delphi IDE (please see "IDE Screenshot). Then, as instructed, I a dded the source subdirectories (D:\Components\P4D\Source, D:\Components\P4D\Source\vcl, and D:\Components\P4D\Source\fmx) to the IDE library path for Windows 64-bit (which is the target I intend to use when I write code). I cloned the repo to D:\Components\P4D using "Git CMD" ( not from within the Delphi IDE like Jim seemed to do on his video). I have followed the installation instructions at. I used Delphi extensively years ago (huge project 20-25 years ago, smaller project 5 years ago) but didn't have the need to install many 3rd party components, and the ones I did install many years ago were not as complicated as this. It would seem that Jim's purpose is to show how quickly and easily he can do something since he already knows how to do it. The person doing the training should not assume that such a person has any knowledge of installing 3rd party components. People who ask basic installation questions want to know step-by-step instructions on how to proceed - SLOWLY. I watched Jim McKeeth's YouTube video "Getting Started with Python4Delphi" several times, but with all due respect to Jim, it didn't help me. I am having a great deal of difficulty installing Python4Delphi under Delphi 10.4 and I would appreciate some help.
