I found the following. There is no FrameViewer2011.

What are the HTML Viewer Components?

The HTML component set consists of the THtmlViewer, TFrameViewer, and TFrameBrowser components. All three are HTML document display components:

  THtmlViewer The basic component. THtmlViewer displays single (non-frame) documents. It also forms the basis for the other two components.
  Displays both Frame and single HTML documents. TFrameViewer is oriented more for local file system use.
Also displays Frame and single HTML documents. However, TFrameBrower is oriented toward Internet style protocols and URL usage. Additional code and/or components are generally required to get data from other sources than the local file system.

These components support most of the HTML 3.2 and HTML 4 specifications with some popular HTML 5 enhancements. Many Cascading Style Sheet properties are also supported.

  • Cascading Stylesheets
  • Frames
  • Bitmap, GIF, JPEG, and PNG Images
    • Animated GIFs
    • Transparent images
    • Image caching
    • Left and right floating images
    • Image sizing attributes
    • Client side image maps
  • Large HTML files
  • HTML Tables
  • HTML Forms
  • Font sizes, styles, and colors with HTML tags or default settings
  • Background colors and images
  • Formatted printing of the HTML document
  • Print preview
  • Text search
  • Copy to clipboard
  • Subscripts and superscripts

While HTML documents are normally associated with the Internet, they are also very useful for displaying all kinds of textual material such as documentation, helpfiles, etc. Graphics are easily incorporated in these documents.

Installing The HTML Components

If you are installing for more than one version of Delphi, use separate directories for the installations.

Installation problems are almost always due to old or incorrect files being accessed. Make sure that the Library Path or Search Path does not point to the directory of any old HTML component files. The Library Path can be edited from the Tools|Environment Options dialog, Library tab. The Search Path from the Project|Options dialog, Directories/Conditionals tab.

Delete all DCU files generated with previous installations.

The Register procedures in HTMLVIEW.PAS, FRAMVIEW.PAS, and FRAMBRWZ.PAS are set to place the components on the palette page tab named Samples. These can be relocated later from the IDE if desired.

Delphi 6 and 7

  1. Choose File|Open... from the main menu. Browse through the dialog to find FRAMEVIEWER6|7.DPK (by default in the \HtmlViewer\package directory).

  2. Click Open and in the ensuring dialog, press Compile and then Install.

  3. When using the HTML components, include the \HtmlViewer\package directory in the searchpath. The searchpath can be edited by choosing Project|Options|Directories|Conditionals from the main menu.

  4. Make sure that the Library Path string does not point to the directory of any old HTML component files. The Library Path string can be edited from the Tools|EnvironmentOptions dialog, Library tab.

Delphi 2005 - 2010, XE and later

In the following replace XXX with the Delpi version name.

  1. Choose File|Open... from the main menu. Browse through the dialog to find FrameViewerXXX (by default in the \HtmlViewer\package directory).

  2. Click Project|Compile FrameViewerXXX to compile FrameViewerXXX.bpl.

  3. To add the components to the Tool Palette, Choose Component|Install packages. Click the Add... button and selectFrameViewerXXX.bpl.

  4. When using the HTML components, include the \HtmlViewer\package directory in the searchpath. The searchpath can be edited by choosing Project|Options|Directories/Conditionals from the main menu.

  5. Make sure that the Library Path string does not point to the directory of any old HTML component files. The Library Path string can be edited from the Tools|Environment Options dialog, Library tab.

Lazarus 0.9 and later

  1. Choose Package|Open package file... from the main menu. Browse through the dialog to find FrameViewer09.lpk (by default in the \HtmlViewer\package directory).

  2. Click Compile in the Package FrameViewer09 window to compile the package.

  3. Click Install in the Package FrameViewer09 window to install the components.

  4. When using the HTML components, include the \HtmlViewer\package directory in the Other Unit Files (-Fu) searchpath. The searchpath can be edited by choosing Project|Compiler Options... from the main menu. <style> body {font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Serif"; }</style> <title></title>

If I open FrameViewer2011 I get on compile

Welcome Newbie,

there was no Delphi 2011, thus there is no project file for it. On Delphi 2010 followed Delphi XE.

[dcc32 Error] FrameViewer2010.dpk(34): E2029 'END' expected but identifier 'rrequires' found
[dcc32 Error] FrameViewer2010.dpk(84): E2029 '.' expected but end of file found

The BDS corrupts the .dpk file under certain conditions when you edited the project. You should revert it to the orginal file.
