Got the same setup, only with an older model (2015). No problems here. If you plan on developing for iOS, keep in mind, that you may keep your projects in the "Documents" folder from the Mac-share, but you'll have to compile twice. Every other compile will fail. I have no idea why, and no idea why it works the second time around. I'm just glad it does 😉

Have you tried reinstalling IDEFixPack after applying the patch?

Been using Delphi in a Parallels VM on a Mac for four years now. Now problems, no worries, no special settings. Only iOS compiles need to be done twice, because the compiler or the linker or whatever only likes the shared folders every other turn...

I wonder what folks will do that just paid money for their brand new Delphi and could not get it installed for almost a month. If that happened to me I would have wanted my money back, pronto. The good folks at Idera should consider renaming the thing to "NotGettinIt" O'Neill

All of those informations can be set manually with a multitude of tools, they are nothing to rely on.

I totally understand. That saying should always be delivered tongue in cheek.

There is a german saying: Kaum macht man es richtig,funktioniert es. It roughly translates to: As soon as you do it right, it works. It is all too true for most everything 😄

If it's too slow for you, buy a faster computer™

Off the top of my head: One is an integer the other is a floating point.

Compiler optimization Bug fixing Support for current versions of the supported OSes Finished. That is what I expect from 10.3.3. Looks like some of it is being done. So: Bravo. I really don't need new language features, but that's just old unflexible me. Then there's the trend to issue a major release early in a year and getting it fixed by the end of it, only to start the cycle again a couple of weeks later. That is tedious.

I second that!

Call tree sounds about right. But keep recursiveness in mind.

Mostly for myself, sometimes for the Ant men. This time as a moderate moderator.

@PeterPanettone Judging by the other answers and to get back to topic: No.

So...how is the web installer supposed to work without GetIt? Is it consensus, that the web installer is an unprofessional tool only to be used by hobbyists? I was quite content with the web installers quick installation compared to the ISO installer in the past. Obviously I traded speed for...professionalism? What are the drawbacks of the web installer (apart from the current GetIT "beyond-design-basis event")?

I too don't use the registry to store anything. I don't want to be part of the problem that created registry cleaners. And I don't trust uninstallers (or me) to completely free the registry from any thing I might have entered. It is easier to simply delete the %localappdata%\myProduct, for the user too, should I forget that 😉 The registry has become the same cluttered monster the win.ini was.

@Ian Branch As long as you have one user, I concur. After that you are on your own in a deep sea of...ummm... smelly...ummm... residue? UI guidelines are there to get people used to the best common denominator. Any application that deviates might get some cheers by some users, but also some jeers by others. And it will cause the developer head aches to just keep up the "good" UI after adding new features, fixing bugs and so forth. And that is not counting what happens when the OS changes its own UI paradigm. So leave the eye candy to the likes of Kai Krause and just make good applications, that benefit the users in a way that will make them overlook the lack of luster.

Nah... that's a bit over the top. And we could not say "Ah, there's the guy that cried Wolf to often" when we see you 😛

@C2H After reading this thread, you did create a snapshot or something comparable before starting the update, right? Just roll back, continue working and try again later.

If Delphi users could learn from the past, Idera might have a problem. 😉

I'll edit the title to fit this new situation and to not mislead future generations who might dig this up.

@Ian Branch Just drop it here https://en.delphipraxis.net/forum/16-i-made-this/ and maybe reference this thread and add some words of clarification.

Yeah, just did that successfully. Or rather I had to delete it and reactivate it. Just updating it was not enough.

To me it makes most sense of all the languages I know. That includes Python, Java and C/C++ I can't wrap my brain around how people could stand handling Win32 API calls with those pesky PChar thingys where you have to know the length of returning strings of a function call...for more than a decade....ugh!
