Important! If you have another version of RichView Package installed, delete it from your hard disk before installing this version! If an older version remains in paths where Delphi/C++Builder searches for units, you will not be able to compile/run your applications with RichView properly. Even if the new version is installed, Delphi/C++Builder may compile projects with the older version (if it was not deleted).
Below are the instructions how to install components, how to run demos, how to integrate help into IDE. (Help file is integrated with more or less completeness, depending on version of Delphi/C++Builder)
