 DELPHI / C++BUILDER NATIVE VCL COMPONENT INSTALL
 ================================================

 NOTE: if you get an error when installing TVideoGrabber on the component palette, probably that you
 need to apply a Delphi or C++Builder update pack (see details in the "UPDATE PACKS" chapter below).

 - Exit Delphi or C++Builder,

 - unzip the package archive to a folder of your choice (e.g. c:\vidgrab)

 - copy all the VidGrab.* and TVidGrab.* binaries to your ...\Borland\Delphi?\Imports 
   or ...\Borland\CBuilder?\Imports directory,

 - run Delphi or C++Builder,

 - select Component | Install packages,

 - press the "Add" button,

 - locate the TVidGrab.bpl file in the \Borland\...\Imports directory and select it,

 - Select Open

 - Click "Ok"

 - Check the "Datastead" tab in the right of the component palette. The TVideoGrabber object should 
   have been added.


 OCX COMPONENT INSTALL
 =====================

 - Copy the following files:
    . VideoGrabberXControl.ocx, 
    . RegVGX.cmd
    . UnregVGX.cmd
   in the installation directory of your choice (e.g. c:\Program Files\VideoGrabber)

 - run the "RegVGX.cmd in the installation directoty to register the component   

 To remove the component:

 - run UnregVGX.cmd in the installation directory,
 - delete the installation directory.


 DELPHI AND C++BUILDER UPDATE PACKS
 ==================================
  
 TVideoGrabber has been compiled with the latest update packs applied on Delphi and C++Builder.


 If you get an error when installing TVideoGrabber on the component palette, e.g. like:

 "the procedure entry point ... procedure$qri ... could not be located in library Vcl40.bpl"

 you need to apply the latest BORLAND update packs on your Delphi or C++Builder version.


 This problem has been reported especially with Delphi 4, where you need to apply "d4upd2.exe".

 visit the following pages at Borland to download the latest update packs:

 Delphi     : http://info.borland.com/devsupport/delphi/downloads/index.html
 C++Builder : http://info.borland.com/devsupport/bcppbuilder/



 INSTALL TROUBLESHOOTING
 =======================
 "TVidGrab.??? file not found" error when compiling or linking a TVideoGrabber project:
 - go to Tools | Environment Options | Library, and check that there is ;$(DELPHI)\Imports (Delphi) 
   or ;$(BCB)\Imports (C++Builder) in the Library path, otherwise add it at the end of the edit field.  

 - go to Project | Options | Packages, check "Build with runtime package", go to the end of the 
   packages edit field, remove ";TVidGrab", and then uncheck "Build with runtime package". 


 DELPHI TRIAL VERSIONS: 
 =====================
 The trial versions of Delphi comes with a different DCU format than the 
 real one. You can't use TVideoGrabber or other third party components in 
 the trial, otherwise you will get the following error when building the project:
 Access violation at address nnnnnn in module dcc60.dll read of address nnnnn.
