How to install Delphi Chromium Embedded in Delphi 2007?

I'm trying to install Delphi Chromium in Delphi 2007, but there is not a .dpk file for this version in the 'packages' dir. There are packages for D7 and newer versions (XE, XE2), but not for 2007.

I tried to use the D7 package, but it returns me this error :

[DCC Error] chrome.dpr(6): F1026 File not found: 'cefgui.dcu'

The 'cefgui.pas' path is already on the library path.

I also can't open the XE package because it is on the newer project format and can't be opened by D2007.

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance !

Add the folder containing 'cefgui.pas' to the project search path. – Ken White
Already did it, but the error remains. – delphirules
There is no difference between the D7 version and what would be needed for a D2007 version except possibly version numbers in the RTL libraries. The error you're getting is because of a missing library path entry; that's the only reason for that error. If you're still getting it, you haven't added the proper path or you've added it in the wrong place. – Ken White
I already added the correct path, the one the .pas files are stored in. There are no DCU files in this path although. – delphirules

in my download there is no chrome.dpr .

I do svn from here delphichromiumembedded

svn checkout http://delphichromiumembedded.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

I have Rad 2007 only on my Windows 2000 Computer
and I can only show you my installation process, with Delphi 7 package.

  • Goto your chromiumembedded\packages there you run chromium.bat
  • RAD Studio -> Open project -> DCEF_D7.dpk (not DCEF_D7.dproj)
  • right click on DCEF_D7.bpl do a compile and a install

Test : ... chromiumembedded\demos\guiclient\guiclient.dpr works

Update:

With the newest downloaded dcef3-0cc175e7a629.zip. I got the same error File not found: cefgui.dcu.
I got it to compile with the following steps.

  • Download the four .dcu's from here Chromiumembedded.zip.
    They are from the older chromiumembedded.
  • Put them into the src and packages folder.
  • Compile
  • Minimize the IDE
  • Open Notepad
  • Open cefgui.pas, ceflib.pas, cefvcl.pas, cefreg.pas in Notepad
  • change the 4 files somewhat. (one, two letter is enough). Best, top in the comment. Save the files.
  • Go back to the IDE
  • Delphi inform you that files are changed outside the IDE : The question reload confirm with yes, the demand for renew the memory, also.
  • Compile and you are done.
  • if you want you can undo the changes at the four .pas files.

But beware: if you do a clean , then the four .dcu files will be deleted.
