Ok, first some explanations:
1.) you have nothing to install with DECMath, no designtime
package, paths and so on...
2.) you create a new folder like c:\DEC_D7\
3.) you unzip DECMathD7.zip into this folder, with folder option checked
4.) then you start D7
5.) open c:\DEC_D7\Demo\Test.bpg
6.) press F9, finish
now some restrictions:
1.) you must never copy any files to another locations, that make the work only complicated
2.) DECMath is a binaries only distributation, thus you can't recompile any units of it, except some included demo sources
3.) all stuff is fully functional, can be fully tested and isn't limited to
4.) ensure that Delphi has no
access to older
DEC Part I stuff, eg. to the original and free avaiable Delphi Encryption Compendium. Thats realy important, because DECMath was compiled with another inofficial version of
DEC Part I. Temporary you can easily rename any other
DEC folders to prevent
access for the Compiler, otherwise Delphi tries to recompile all units. In such a case you have to shutdown Delphi, delete the old files and reinstall the ZIP File to renew all DCUs and BPLs.
5.) all sources in folder c:\DEC_D7\LibIntf\ are only the interface sections of my original sources, means without the implementation sections. Thats for documentation purposes only.
6.) before installation please delete all
DEC Stuff in your ..\Borland\Delphi 7\Lib\ folder
7.) please remember, these distributations are inofficial and limited for academical and private use only
8.) DECMath contains nothing that must be installed into designtime packages
9.) all projects in DECMath use relative paths in they project options, thus you must nothing change in any global searchpaths of Delphi oder your operating system. Take a look into project options -> compiler paths as example from Test.dpr
In short: create a new folder, unzip DECMathD7.zip into, run Delphi, open ..\Demo\Test.bpg, and run it.

[edit]
Ups, if i wrote above \demo\test.dpr then it could be maybe \test\test.dpr
but essentialy thats not important
