Sounds like it were a religion...

Maybe related to RSP-43625

Currently there is no GetIt server for 11.2! They are still working on it.

Then you seem to have Winapi.Windows.pas in your search path. Otherwise the compiler won't try to compile that issuing that error.

Question: Why are you compiling Winapi.Windows.pas in the first place?

They probably just had to be recompiled.

I am not aware of any.

I have issued a request to install the patch for All Users to fix these inconveniencies (it is a simple setting in the GetIt configuration). I hope someone will take care of that. Otherwise I have to wait for the new QP to get online.

GetIt creates a subkey in the registry under CatalogRepository for each installed item. It is probably there where the about dialog gets is information from, but I am only guessing. Another weird thing is, that another user or registry branch (with -t parameter) won't see the patch either - albeit being installed.

I am with Nigel here: That seems to be the best solution.

In contrast to CE do paid licenses come with access to the majority of previous versions.

AFAIK, there is no way to get a CE license for a version below the current CE. You should consider buying a Professional license instead.

Shortly

As mentioned in the blog: People just have different interpretations of shortly.

If I understand this paragraph correctly you still need to install from the ISO or wait for the inline release.

Unfortunately that doesn't address the CE problems, because the available GetIt server is only for Delphi 12.

I guess this is the reason for

Search for XPMan or Vcl.XPMan in your uses clauses and remove any of those entries. In case you have a component of type TXPManifest remove that, too.

Ehm, no!

It boils down to the fact that 'THIS' just is not the upper case of 'This' on every locale. In case this is a requirement of the application, then ToUpper is not the right choice. Unfortunately ToUpperInvariant may not be either, although it will probably work for pure English text strings. For most locales upper case for ASCII characters is what one would expect, but that doesn't hold true for Turkish.

Isn't the Next Business Day dependent on the local holidays? (f.i. Bank Holidays in England)

Apparently the minds in charge think different.

Definitely!
