The QuickEdit thing is a know bug: QuickEdit still use 10.2 registry path I can also see the RegQueryValue calls and more: even for every Delphi version installed. Not sure what purpose that has, but the same behavior is also seen with 10.2.3 Tokyo (including the Studio\20.0 entries).

That may give the background for this decision: the names for both forums should match, so people can be recognized.

Interestingly, that is quite similar to one of the reasons why "with" was invented in the first place: when accessing the record memory is costly. From Pascal User Manual and Report (emphasizes by me):

Drag-Select all the text you want to quote and click on the little "Quote" hint appearing when your selection is finished. That is also a good way to quote only part of a post and I miss that feature already in the German forum.

I am quite confident that Stephanes problem is caused by installing Tokyo after Rio messing up some parts of the registry.

No problem. See attached file. BorlandIDE.reg

Fine! There should be several subkeys for each Delphi version. Here is how it looks on my system: Please make sure that the entries in InprocServer32 match the corresponding values found in the 26.0.0.0 subkey.

So can you find that CLSID {FDAED0FF-DD92-42C8-BB2C-F1759632FDB8} anywhere else if not under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID?

Well, that is strange! The {FDAED0FF-DD92-42C8-BB2C-F1759632FDB8} is the CLSID value found under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Borland.Studio.ToolsAPI.BorlandIDE. Do you have a different value there? Please check the RootDir entry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Embarcadero\BDS\20.0, too. I get the feeling that your installation is completely borked.

Can you please check the registry entries under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{FDAED0FF-DD92-42C8-BB2C-F1759632FDB8}\InprocServer32? Especially the version values for Assembly and RuntimeVersion?

First I would like to use the same settings as in your system. Can you export the MMX registry key for me? The key base is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Raabe Software\MMX\13.0 (I know about the 13.0 as an open issue in the beta). Then, if I still cannot reproduce it here, I will try to compile a special version with some logging. Unfortunately, as long as I have no clue about what is happening here, that can only be some shots in the dark. I am also a bit baffled that no one else reports a similar behavior. Can you rule out any other non-standard addin or a non-standard Delphi installation?

I am sorry, but even with your source unit I am not able to reproduce it here.

I hope that is also not the case when background compilation is enabled.

This should give you some hints: Checking the SQL Command Text The rest of that article might be helpful, too.

I was wrong. It is a problem with 10.3 Rio only. The IDE doesn't work well with these settings and MMX seems to be the victim here. Not sure what I can do about that.

You can edit the registry entry of your Delphi version to specify another version of MMX. Look for MidexExpert in the Experts subkey.

I just had a quick look into the sources and it is indeed so that the help icons are located statically and don't move when the control to the left resizes (which they actually should). I have to go through all of these (which are a lot) and check for that link.

Of course I have. After all it should adapt to DPI changes when the dialog is moved to another monitor. I rather suspect the help buttons rely on a specific font size. Will have a look.

I wasn't able to reproduce it with these steps on a simple new project. Can you try it again with a new VCL Forms project with a plain Integer property added to the form? I just want to narrow it down to the installation/settings or the actual source file causing this error.

I can also vaguely remember that Andreas claimed that as the reason why there will be no IDE Fix Pack for Rio. Unfortunately I cannot find that statement anymore, so it should be taken with care.

Can you try the same using a different or no password? Besides an error regarding the wrong password, does it succeed then?

Might be worth to ping @Allen Bauer with that. I doubt there is anyone at Google with more knowledge about Delphi and the RTL.

It installed flawlessly here, but I have to admit that I used an old Raize serial number which the installer automatically suggested.
