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!

I guess it's just offline, because they are syncing the calls with the internal system.

@A.M. Hoornweg Well...your users have to cope with it, and you have want to give your users a product, that they can rely on. Win7 is practically dead, so your product has to offer best user experience on Win10 - like it or not.

So what is the official take on how to get the macOS 64Bit platform running? It (or something like it) was installed, I have a folder filled with stuff called binosx64. But no SDK is available and I can't add it.

But you should: And btw, I can't log in either...this happens every few months. I blame it on the captcha.

How can't you log in? Problem with the captcha?

That is no problem, as long as it is only you using that license. Make sure all your data files are not on the windows boot partition and you are golden. Consider running your Delphi in a VM and you are platinum 😄 I can't see anything else to consider. In the end it is just a matter of look & feel migrating from Win7 to Win10.

Have you tried squinting really hard? 😄 I'd love to have a monitor with that resolution.... sigh.

Can confirm: GetIt is back online!

Where you? 😉 Seriously though, a down time of three days is unbecoming of a tech company.

Yes, we might have to consider changing the header of this thread to (un)available. 😄 The import part getit.embarcadero.com is still denying access and that is where all the fun is stored.

Yeah, got that too. Just rolled back my VM and will try again Monday or Tuesday.

@Dalija Prasnikar I would always add Delphi to the search query. But other than that, Ian should now be good to go.

Are there direct links to the web installers? CC is really slow...

They are not down...they are just bent by the overwhelming demand.

Oh, goody! Can't pinpoint the exact problems, but I'm guessing soon I might get a project for iOS running again.

Sure you can. Give them the bare essentials, until a license is purchased. Or give them the maximum for 10 days, or whatever.
