XE7 installation  
News Group: embarcadero.public.delphi.install

Hello,

It's been many years since I've used Delphi (last purchased D2009 enterprise, started out long ago with D1).  I've gone ahead and taken advantage of the XE7 discount (at the very last possible moment), and am running into a (possibly) installation related issue, and hope someone can point me in a direction.

The issue I'm having is with the database explorer.  I can't seem to connect to any of the dbExpress databases.  Here's an error:
Interbase (server or lite2go): DBX error: Driver could not be properly initialized.  Client library may be missing, not installed properly, or the wrong version, or the driver may be missing from the system path.

sqlite: sqlite3.dll not found.

The Firedac sqlite is working, btw.

Any help will be appreciated.-- oh and Happy New Year!

Thanks,

John

Re: XE7 installation

http://support.embarcadero.com/article/41796 should cover it.

Note that for new projects, we generally recommend using FireDAC over 
DBX. While FireDAC will report a different error, the support article 
applies to FireDAC as well.
