Just wondering what com_tcpdf_1.0.0.zip is.  Not going to install something when I don't know what it is.  No explanation on the VM installation page.  No read me file.  Just an extra .zip file in the install folder with no explanation.  Needed or not?

And, yes, I tried searching for it and found a couple topics in another language that Google couldn't translate good enough for me to understand.

After installing, I see, "TCPDF library not installed. Please download at http://virtuemart.net/download".  So I now know that whatever it is, it's needed.  So installed.  Probably don't need to know what it is... I'll just assume it's part of the installation.

But thanks.

As the name suggests it is a Pdf library to create the pdf invoices - it is separated out as not everyone needs it if u don't use the pdf invoices etc, it may already be present from another component and  it is very large so leaves space in the AIO for other things without going over 2MB

I see. Thanks for the info on that.

If you start with your package, then you usually download the extract_first or the fullinstaller. Both deliver the tcpdf.

Hi Milbo, just to let you know, I get the message
Warning  TCPDF library not installed. Please download at http://virtuemart.net/download

When I click that link, there is no sign on the page of anywhere to download TCPDF.

It was not provided in the Extract First Zip file (I downloaded http://dev.virtuemart.net/attachments/download/953/com_virtuemart.3.0.9.4_extract_first.zip)

I found it after a Google search, at http://dev.virtuemart.net/attachments/download/905/com_tcpdf_1.0.0.zip

I think you should update that warning message to point to the correct place, or add TCPDF to the download page. :-)

I hope that helps.
