FireDAC install for IDE versions other than XE3 (ex AnyDac)

Abstract: This article show you how to install FireDAC to versions of RAD Studio other than XE3

While we expect future versions of FireDAC to work only with the latest versions of our IDEs (and suggest current users to move to a maintenance level that also includes our development tools), the first release still supports all platforms AnyDAC used to work with, and we are not restricting existing AnyDAC support customers from using the XE3 version of FireDAC with other compilers.

Please note that support assistance from Embarcadero is only available when FireDAC is being used with Delphi XE3, C++Builder XE3 or RAD Studio XE3.

Below are instructions to make the FireDAC installer install for other IDE's versions of Rad Studio other then version XE3.

Go to command prompt
Use the CD command to change directory to the directory where the installer resides. Example:

cd \users\my_user_name\downloads

run the installer with the /showide switch. Example:

FireDAC_7.0.1.3119 /showide

After selecting which components you want to install, you will see the following dialog, which will allow you to select the IDE you wish to install to:
