Proper library deployment in Delphi

In these days I'm starting to move some projects from Delphi 7 to Delphi 2006. Therefore I started to install all the required libraries in Delphi 2006.

Beyond the runtime/designtime issue, many libraries don't set the options properly to share the same code among different versions of Delphi.

Innosetup script to manage services

Submitted by ldsandon on Thu, 2007-01-11 16:01

An InnoSetup 5.x library to control services. It gives access to the Service Control Manager functions to query/start/stop/install/uninstall services, and implements some higher level functions (simpleXXXX) to perform standard tasks easily.

NB: this version won't work with the Unicode version of Inno Setup. I am testing an update that works.
