Indy 10 for Delphi 7

Can Indy 10 be used with Delphi 7?

I am trying to find it, or purchase it. But, I cannot find any information on it.

I found where to download it, though:

http://indy.fulgan.com/ZIP/

Their website, http://www.atozed.com, does not give much information, either.

Installing Indy 10 in Delphi 7.

$(Delphi) is the path to your local Delphi 7 installation.

Download the github project zip for Indy 10. https://github.com/IndySockets/Indy

Extract the zip to C:\Repos\Indy10

Open command prompt as Administrator, then type...
C:
CD \Repos\Indy10\Lib
Fulld_7.bat

After Fulld_7.bat build is completed with no errors, copy the contents of the outputted D7 folder from
C:\Repos\Indy10\D7 to $(Delphi)\Projects\Bpl

Open Delphi 7.

Add library paths to Delphi 7.

Click Tools -> Environment Options -> Library tab.
Click ellipses button next to Library path.

Add C:\Repos\Indy10\Lib\Core
Add C:\Repos\Indy10\Lib\System
Add C:\Repos\Indy10\Lib\Protocols

Add component packages to Delphi 7
From D7 top menu Click Component -> Install Packages -> Add

Browse to $(Delphi)\Projects\Bpl
Add dclIndyCore70.bpl
Add dclIndyProtocols70.bpl

You should now have the Indy controls on the control palette.

Indy 10 supports Delphi/C++Builder 5 and higher. So yes, Delphi 7 is supported.

The official Indy website is http://www.indyproject.org.
