UseSharedFiles in he BDS\23.0 registry

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.

In TOOL menu you can set you own path for that.

Where in the "TOOL" menu?

I can't uninstall Parnassuss which conflicted between versions 11 and 12!!

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.

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?

I'm getting "no such table" on the second.

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

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

There is also Embedded LUA for Delphi

Six Sigma and Five Nines opportunity lost 😛

I agree. You can't blame the client facing people.

The management needs a good kick in the shins, though.

Well, the blogs were affected too...

I agree. It leaves a really bad impression - especially when it happens over and over.

Or is that the root cause?

Several of Embarcadero's systems have been down since Friday night, including QualityPortal, DocWiki, GetIt, Blogs, etc.

EMBT knows and they are working on it.

No ETA as of now.

They are painfully aware of it.  It is not good for their operational reputation.
