Data Providers Installation

EntityDAC data providers are installed by default in Standard and Professional editions. However, there are several cases, when the data providers need to be installed manually:

• in case, if they were lost after broken installation or due to some other problems;
• in case of using EntityDAC edition with source code;
• in case you want to install 3rd-party data providers that are located in the Demo folder;
• in case of using Delphi Starter or Trial Edition (since the Starter and Trial Editions have no command line compiler).

To install data providers manually:

1. in RAD Studio click the "Open Project" (Ctrl+F11) button.
2. open the EntityDAC installation folder (C:\Program Files\Devart\EntityDAC by default) and select your IDE version in the Source folder (e.g., Delphi20 - for XE6), and select the needed data provider project.

   

3. Right click on the project in the Project Manager, click "Install".

   

   

4. the data provider is installed and ready for use.

   

   You can find it in the "Component->Install Packages" dialog:
