Not that I am aware of.

You should do this only for Windows environments. So be shure to wrap that in appropriate $IFDEFs in case you develop multi platform (what FMX is designed for).

Try NativeInt for 32Bit and 64Bit compatibility...

Phew. Congrats on that. Now you'll have to figure out if that was a one time glitch. Some future patches might rely on 22H2 being installed, which might leave your otherwise new computer ...um, looking old.

Well Google has no right to gloat..."Ice cream sandwich"? Stupid names. Numbers rule! Delphi 12.0 - Done. Pure. Simple. No room for mistakes or errors. Other than Debian: Bullseye, Buster or Bookworm...which one is oldest?

Aha, ok. Nope, still no error here. Using the demo sources selected at install time, everything works fine. Have you tried placing a break point in the pnlCreatePDFDrawingSVGClick method, to see when your crash occurs? Perhaps you don't have a PDF reader installed (very wild guess)?

@Ralf7 I am not sure how to reproduce it. I created a new VCL project in D12. Activated SKIA...and now what?
OK, now that I understood what this was about. I deleted the unnecessary code.

I can see them now, brooding in their offices over a not so satisfactory IDE release, when suddenly one of them jumps up in excitement, shouting: "I got it!" Proceeding to invite everyone to a Teams meeting to spread the good news. When they all finally got together an extensive presentation with countless slides was skillfully delivered to the increasingly agitated peers culminating in roaring applause and a virtual high five by Mr. Popov himself, who had joined after hearing the good news. With his chest swollen with pride he then announced "So this is it then: Athens!"

Have you tried undoing the update via Powershell yet? Details here: https://support.atera.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020477680-Uninstall-Windows-10-Updates-#h_01F0WXRRDN6R5S7NSCTF9P8V41

I concur with @FPiette. Considering Windows 10 support and life will be over in two years, you would not want to upgrade then. Do it now, and be done with it. You just witnessed in the flesh what an "old" Windows can do...or rather what it can't. Just consider that a fair warning.

And equally a candidate for the Darwin Award...if there was a software category.

Just as a totally unqualified insertion: We are talking about the GOTO statement right? The one Dijkstra is rotating in his grave about? Ok, just checking. Carry on....

Could be that. I have no insight to the absolute inner workings of the forum software, but I have the impression the situation is sorted out anyhow. Or is there still some trouble @fastbike?

So that is a VCL application? Because enabling SKIA in an FMX application will cause all rendering to be done via SKIA, independent of the components. Another difference to remember.

More than ten years ago, right? Daily snapshots plus snapshots before an installation are the norm. And everyone who has ever whined about something broken in his "production environment" after installing this or that has gotten an earful about why they don't work on virtual machines. So one would think this particular issue should have become a no brainer...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but has this problem not happened before? Parnassus stuff not running with two different installed Delphi versions. At least for me it does not sound new.

Just to clarify: Have you not seen increases or other differences between Delphi 11.1 and 11.3? I mean, there was some work done there too. Why compare "some version along the way" to the newest, and not the last version before the new release?

That was always the trouble with that Parnassus stuff. BTW it is now Embarcadero stuff, and they should know better. -.-

You are absolutely right. Sorry about that.

Noice! And which breaking changes happened this time? Python is sweet when you need short scripts but a pain for large projects. I would like to see any one of our colleagues here with their million LOC projects using Python.

According to the feature matrix found in here https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Alexandria/en/Community_Edition, yes.

According to this https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Alexandria/en/Using_SQLite_with_FireDAC a download of SQLite DLLs is not necessary. You did provide a 64Bit DLL and your application failed. 32Bit without external DLL on the other hand ran smoothly. So....get rid of that new thing.

I'm not using Windows 7, I'm using Windows 11 and if you're referring to the joke I wrote above "I can't use Delphi 7 in 2023", it was to say that Delphi 7 is the last Delphi that is not affected by major bugs... but I'm using Delphi 11.3 which hasn't been updated since April 2023, which is UNACCEPTABLE!
Please read my post carefully, I answered @JohnLM. Your frustration is valid. I have felt it more than once myself.

My experience thus far with D11.2 under Win7. . .
Now gee, what do you expect? How many of your clients demand to run your software on their outdated, unsupported and insecure operating systems (Windows 98 SE was sweet)? And what do you tell them? Even Microsoft has abandoned that product. Seriously, as long as you are using Windows 7 you will get nothing but sympathetic nods as every little issue could be blamed on the fact you are trying to run it on an OS that does not meet the requirements. Nevertheless 11.3 is the current version, so some of your issues may have gotten fixed.

Delphi 12 is available
in Delphi IDE and APIs

I love the possibility to create and sell a monolithic exe, that can be dropped in a folder and just be executed, no installer necessary. That is of course not a distinguishing feature of Delphi, you could compile a C# application into a monolithic exe as well, but how often is that really done?
