  1. I've run into a D12 issue: The GetIt FastReports installer now installs to a user owned path! C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\23.0\CatalogRepository\FastReport-2023.3\ It used to be: C:\Program Files (x86)\FastReports\ This is a problem because our build server doesn't see that path as it runs with a different AD user than the user that installed Delphi, and hence barfs when trying compile units that contain Fast Reports units. Has anyone found a good solution to this?

    That nails it, then. The AllUsers flag appears to have no relationship with UseSharedFolders.

    Can you find the GetIt .json package files there?

    True. I wish I could get a look at the FmxLinux .json file for verification.

    To me, it appears that AllUsers in .json file appear to override the UseSharedFiles in the registry, which seems a bit backward.

    My C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\23.0\CatalogRepository contains and my C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\23.0\CatalogRepository So it is not quite consistent.

    My local installation: TRUE Build server: TRUE

    I stopped using that installer ages ago... but changing it manually is ok. But the real question is why the GetIt installer doesn't ask: Install for All users or Current user.

    Ok, that makes sense and is a bit less of a hassle on the build server. Still miffed about the GetIt installer not giving me an option for all users, though.

    Where in the "TOOL" menu?

    D12 CatalogRepository Problem!

    We don't need the full version with source, nor am I a fan of binaries in git, and we are multiple developers + build server. I guess manual copying on the build server will be the go-to workaround until EMBT responds, but that also adds the need for manual installation of the design time packages. Someone made a bad decision on "hardcoding" the location of the CatalogRepository to a user-owned location for an IDE that is installed for all users.

    That is indeed a possible path, but somewhat cumbersome.

    They don't appear to offer an standalone Embarcadero version installer that matches the GetIt versions.

    Does FireDAC allow more than one connection?

    Are you connecting to two different databases with two connection objects?

    Opensource scripting language?

    Please note that the Embedded LUA was a search find. I have not used it myself.

    There is also Embedded LUA for Delphi https://blogs.embarcadero.com/powerful-verysimple-lua-embeddable-scripting-language-library-for-delphi/ https://github.com/Dennis1000/verysimplelua
  17. Six Sigma and Five Nines opportunity lost 😛
  18. I agree. You can't blame the client facing people. The management needs a good kick in the shins, though.
  19. Well, the blogs were affected too...
  20. I agree. It leaves a really bad impression - especially when it happens over and over.
  21. Or is that the root cause?
  22. EMBT knows and they are working on it. No ETA as of now.
