I went to install the latest JVCL today for Delphi 2009. I was surprised that JEDI stopped offering one download with both the JCL and JVCL. So I downloaded both, installing JCL first since it is required by JVCL. Well, JVCL gave me an error that I had the wrong version of the JCL installed.
So I went back to Sourceforge to look if I grabbed the wrong one. Sure enough, I had the September 9th version of each. I tried again, and it still didn’t work. So I figured I would get the latest from Subversion. After I installed the subversion client I discovered links to download the latest versions via the subversion web interface as a tar.gz file (no need to connect via subversion.) The links are not obvious, but really useful in my opinion, so I thought I would share them here:
[Check out the official daily link in the comments!]
One thing that is missing is the JVCL help, which you can download seperately (along with demos, etc.)
If you don’t have something that can open a tar.gz then get 7Zip. It does a two step process (extract the tar from the gz, then extract the files from the tar), but it gets the job done.
Hope that helps. Maybe I missed something and there is an easier way to get these packages. . . .
Please When JVCL and JCL final for Delphi 2009? Thx.
Those latest links *should* work with Delphi 2009.
You could also use the daily snapshots:
http://jcl.sourceforge.net/daily/
http://jvcl.sourceforge.net/daily/
These are latest development versions. They can be unstable.
Why so complicated? The daily builds do their job very well…

http://jvcl.sourceforge.net/daily/
@Aleksey Timohin: ACK, you are correct.
@Andreas Hausladen & Stefan: Where did you find links to the dailies? That is what I was looking for but couldn’t find it. Thanks!
@Jim: they can be found on main page http://homepages.codegear.com/jedi/jvcl/
take a look on news post from December 2004
last week i got a new copy myself for d2009 & was pleasantly surprised that–although there wasn’t the installers bundled together–it worked better than usual. here’s what i used:
jcl 1.103
jvcl 3.35
i dislike having the possibility of this version mismatch & have had that problem many times in the past. i wish very much for a unified installer for jcl & jvcl.
@Mike P: I believe those are the versions I installed, but they didn’t work for me. Then I tried the snapshots on another computer and JCL wouldn’t compile (that happens with development versions, they change!)
I’d like to see the return of a unified installer too.
I was able to install the Sept. 9′th D2009 previews on D2009 but when I tried installing it on all the versions of Delphi that I currently use (D5, D7, D2006, and D2009) it would fail.
i am unable to get any of the jcl installers to work in d2009. installation failed, see log for details.
