Please accept my apologies for the misunderstanding.
Since you are using the Starter version of the XE6 IDE, our controls are not registered and you cannot see them. This is caused by the malfunctional command-line compiler shipped with the Starter IDE.
If you use the trial version of our controls, then once the trial period expires, you will get corresponding messages in your applications and some elements will not be drawn any more.

We have no compiled version of our controls. However, you can compile our source files manually using the approach from the CQ44462: Setup doesn't create libraries for Delphi 2007 Enterprise Trial Version thread. Please take a look at it.
In a nutshell, you need to create two Project Groups for runtime and design-time packages. Put there the source files and compile them (the runtime packages primarily). Take special note that the above mentioned thread recommends that you drop all source files into a single folder.

Note that when you start compiling the design-time packages, you will need to set necessary namespaces for all the packages. Just select all projects and set the following string in the IDE->Project->Options…->Delphi Compiler->Unit Scope Names field:
WinApi;Vcl;System;System.Win;Vcl.Imaging;Data;Data.Win;Bde;Xml;Xml.Win;Vcl.Shell;VclTee;Datasnap;IBX

This algorithm should help you install the full version of our controls in the Starter IDE.
I hope that this information will help you achieve the required result.
If you have further questions or encounter any difficulties, please let me know.

    Hello,

    Common problems that appear during the installation process are described in the K18485: FAQ: Migrating to the new version Knowledge Base article.
    Please pay special attention to paragraph 5.
    I hope you will find this information helpful.

        Hello Mikhail
        I am using the Starter version on XE6 IDE. This is a licensed version. I understand that the starter version is the same and the trial IDE in that you need to use pre compiled components due to the missing compiler in these IDEs
        Questions are;

        1. With a licensed version of the X6 IDE and a trial version of the components - does this create a problem when the trial expires?
        2. Is there anyway that I can obtain a compiled version that I can use with my X6 starter IDE?
          Fortunately I can work for now.
          Kind regards

          Regardless of whether you use the trial or full version of IDE, the trial period for our controls is 30 days.

          As for your second question, I'm afraid you will not be able to install our non trial VCL controls for using them in the trial version of IDE.

            Thanks for trying to answer the question. Was my response not clear? I do not have a trial version of the IDE. It is fully licensed.
            Perhaps I renewed too quickly as I am not getting the actual support that I need here. Let me look around on the internet to see if I can source another response.
            Many thanks and regards.
