System:winxp/win 7.

For some reason ,I can not install software on my pc,so is there a non-installation version of lazarus,zip file or something like?Or What extra files should I copy /what extra configuration should I do to copy an installed lazarus from one pc to another pc?

It would be grateful if anybody can help.

Just try it. I think if the drive letters are the same, it should work to just copy the lazarus folder.
Not 100% sure though.

Thanks.I have tried before open this post.But it does not work properly.
First I copied Qt4pas5.dll form c:/windows/system32 to lazarus root folder and then start copy to another machine.

In another machine,Laz can startup as normal,when building a new test application,it failed with the failaure to find Contnrs unit.But it was there since I have configured the fpc source directory and compiler path and make path unde Environment->Options.

Now I have no clue what's wrong with it.

So you didn't copy from:
C:\lazarus to C:\lazarus but something like
C:\lazarus to C:\whatever\lazarus ?

Maybe you should have a look at the file fpc.cfg then

Here you can found a portable version: http://www.winpenpack.com/en/download.php?view.727

I also have built one, but it's not really perfect. I'll try winpenpack version.

Same 'problem' here.
Just make it easy for yourself:
- install Lazarus on another PC (or virtual PC for that matter) in exactly the same directory as you want to use it on the target machine;
- zip the installed directory;
- unzip on the target machine with the same folder structure.

Works like a charm! (I don't use QT so maybe you should copy that file manually.)
Minor problem: if you reinstall a new Lazarus version, you need to reinstall/rebuild the packages.

On a side note: the QT lib is installed in c:\windows\system32 which is a serious bug in Lazarus. This is something that should have been fixed a long time ago.

Yes,exactly.I tried again with same folder structure,it works now.

Thank you all for all your help!


BTW,then is anybody here would like to do me a favour ,just to share your copy of lazarus which can use sqlite3 without problem.I have tried handreds of time to install-uninstall-download another copy of laz and install again but never can use sqlite3 with laz.Three main problems found on different versions/installations under winxp:

1.can not save new records even I have below code followed by the reply of one of my post in the forum regarding laz can not write back new record to sqlite3 db.

Code: [Select]


//under dbgrid click evet:
if button=nbpost then SQLQuery.applyupdate;

//or apply below in a button and let it do the save record job:
SQLQuery.ApplyUpdates;

SQLTransaction.CommitRetaining;


There is no problem with my sqlite3.dll since I use it everywhere with my c++.

or 2.DataGrid can not hold the value you typed,when the focus leaves any of the columns,the value hold in this column disappears.
or 3.When edit 'SQL (TstringList)' in a sqlquery control,after I wrote "select * from mydb;" and press the green left-arrow button,it says "no such table: mytable",of course mydb is right there and under some installation this problem disappears,but under some installation,it appears again.
