Chee Wee's Web Deploy tool for Delphi 2005 & BDS 2006
(Updated: Tue, 13 Feb 2007 00:33:00 GMT)

The Web Deploy feature is now back for Delphi 2005 and BDS 2006.
You use this when you need to deploy your ActiveX projects.


About the Plugin
This plugin is written by Chee Wee Chua, a CodeGear Support Engineer.
The plugin returns the Web Deploy functionality present in earlier versions of Delphi back to Delphi itself!
This has been designed for Delphi 2005 and 2006.
This plugin is not supported by Borland Software Corporation, Borland Support, or CodeGear Support.


Setup Information
Install the plugin using the Component menu's Install Packages command.


Troubleshooting
The Web Deploy menu is located after Project, Build All Projects. It is enabled only when

1. A project is an ActiveX library,
2. The project has been compiled.

When you invoke it, and your current project is an ActiveX library,
it will create a HTML file with the same filename as your project itself.

If the Deploy Directory option is set, the ActiveX library will be copied there.
If the Deploy HTML option is set, the HTML file will be created there, otherwise, it'll be created in the project directory.
If CAB compression has been set, the ActiveX library will be compressed into it.

The Deploy settings are not persistent.
You have to set them each time.
CAB Compression has been implemented, and relies on the CABARC executable located in the Bin directory of your BDS installation.

All other options have not been implemented.
