I'm glad that you consider NextGrid again.
If you have already registered years ago, you can simply continue with license but install XE7 packages. You should also see both v5 and v6 into users section (bms.bergsoft.net) if you have access there as registered user.
You can continue with v5 as you are in old Delphi. After some time, if you want to use v6 you can install both versions inside same IDE (XE7) and in same project. I have tried to keep good parts from v5 and add some new stuff in v6.
For start I recommend this article:

I am unable to log into the bms.bergsoft.net/ website.
I reset my password three times and tried so many times but it will not let me in. I know I am registered because how else would I have downladed and installed v5.
Can you help me resolve this? There is no rush, just whenever you get a free moment....
Thanks.

I downloaded the "nextcomps5_10-16.exe" file. Next, I ran the installer and entered the password. After it said completed, I loaded up Delphi XE7 (professional version), but the nextgrid components are not showing.
Did I miss a step?

- Check library path if is good.
- open group proj for Xe7 in Packages
- Then right click on each package and click install
Hope it will help

Please note, that I do not install any software on my hdd. Since this is a laptop, and laptops do get stolen. I install all my apps and components on a flash drive. I have a 64GB flash drive that I install all apps onto. I have not had a single problem doing this, and will not change from this practice. I have my flash drive set to an F: drive letter.
I'm not very familiar with XE7 component installations. Its tricky, all the time. I always have trouble installing any component and dread them, always.
As of right now, it appears that the "nextcomps5_10-16.exe" installer app did not install anything, only went through the motions on screen. At least, that's how it appeared to me. I did not have XE7 running. It was closed during installation. And I did not have any previous nextgrid or nextsuite installed.
Next, I went into: menu, Tools, Options, and scrolled down to Delphi Options, selected Library, and under Library Path I selected the [...] and searched for any berg or nextgrid or nextsuite items. But I do not see anything. So, it appears to have installed nothing.
I am at a loss. Did I download the wrong file?

I am thinking that you mean these packages, located in this folder: "F:\Program Files (x86)\Berg\Next Suite\Packages\Delphi XE 7"
Is there a specific order to selecting them, or any order will work?

There is no "install" option in the drop-down menu when I right-click any of the files. For example, "NxAddonsRun_dxe7.dpk" has no "install" option. And when I double-click it, nothing happens. XE7 does not open, either.

Sorry for delay, I was gone to sleep (3 AM was here )
But, I have prepared detailed steps for you:
- Download zip version of same file.
- This zip archive install where you want.
- Now, you need to add path to the Sources sub-folder of place where you installed components.
Example:
D:\Components\Berg\Sources D:\Components\Berg\Sources\Next Grid D:\Components\Berg\Sources\Next DBGridYou are correct about some packages. They are only run-time.
Please follow next video I made now:

Hi Boki. Success! Everything worked just as you said plus the video. Now I have the components on the components palette.
Thanks a bunch!!!
Just curious... but how do you get your UI icons to display horizontally instead of the standard vertical position in the palette for XE7?

I am having a compiling problem. See image, below. How do I resolve?

Most probably Library Path (Tools -> Options -> Library Path) need to be set. It should point to .pas version of file.
PS. If you right-click on Tool Palette you will find Properties and "Show Button Captions" should be set to unchecked.

\Components\Berg\Sources \Components\Berg\Sources\Next Grid \Components\Berg\Sources\Next DBGrid .. .. \Components\Berg\Sources\Next Sheet \Components\Berg\Sources\Next TBX
Okay, success. I've got it working now. I had to add to the Library, all the components from the ..\source\ folder. Now it compiles.
NextSuite v5 for Delphi XE7 is now successfully installed. Later, at some point, I will install v6. Thank you!
