I downloaded the LNet 0.6.5 zipfile from:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus-ccr/files/lNet/lNet%200.6.5/lnet-0.6.5.zip/download I extracted it into a folder on my Win7 PC and then I started Lazarus 1.6 and went to Packages/Open Package File, navigated to the LNet folder and selected the lazaruspackage/lnetvisual.lpk file. Next I used the Install command and it adviced that it would also install another lnet package. Accepted and it ran for a while, then stopped with the following in the messages window:

I have no idea what is going on here, I just want to test the LNet components for a simple TCP Client application.
What could I do to get this installed?

Lazarus 1.6 for Windows
FPC 3.0.0
OS: Windows 7 X64

Try using the latest SVN version:
https://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcprojects/lnet/trunk/ (currently revision 2706)

Download the latest version from subversion:
https://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcprojects/lnet/trunk

You could also use fppkg: fppkg install lnet

You have to fiddle with your configuration, though, as http-downloads are not allowed anymore. (use fppkg listsettings to show where your setting-file is located. Change the downloader from 'lnet' to 'wget' and change the download-url to https)

If you also add 'FPMakeOptions=--lazarusdir=/path/to/lazarus/' it will register the location of the lnet-visual package in the IDE, so you can install it into the IDE.

Btw: when you are using trunk fpc and Lazarus, you don't have to fiddle. Easiest would be to compile and run
lazarus/components/fppkg/standalone/lazarusfppkg. It will show a wizard to create a new configuration.
