Wasn't another point to finally merge those internal and external issues.. now all external ones have become internal..
-
Sounds like better to me..
-
I'm certain the original blog post told us that months of planning went into this..
-
Was just going to look at that.. one 'good' thing EMBT has taught me is to generate a snapshot before attempting any installation.. DId a registry compare and it wiped out the path and the Win64 Library Path..
-
Thought the point was for it to be better than the last system..
-
Used the ISO but aren't they supposed to be the same now..
-
Nice to have the Request button explained but there isn't anything there..
-
Same, sure someone has reported that bug how do I watch it?
-
Sending Reports to a black box.. sounds productive..

Can you open an RSP on that 😂

You can execute this statement after connecting to a v4 or v5 db: 'set bind of TIME ZONE to LEGACY' -
What new features would you like to see in Delphi 13?
FredS replied to PeterPanettone's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
Yeah, was wondering about that. As stated back in January it should be up in a week, especially after 'months of planning'.. -

Warning: Windows Update KB5028166 breaks NT Domains
FredS replied to dummzeuch's topic in Tips / Blogs / Tutorials / Videos
I use a Samba Domain on Ubuntu (16.04) and can login with KB5028166 installed from a 22H2 W10 VM.. I used a new Domain account to force new profile generation to make sure.. -
Found why LSP stopped working in Delphi 11.2 and 11.3
FredS replied to pyscripter's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
Little has changed since Godzilla, or maybe some of that is back again. I still use a clean bat when switching between 'Build Configurations', that limits the problem even today. What it does is delete all DCUs which exist from all but the current 'Build Configuration'. -
Run process with normal user privileges from elevated process
FredS replied to PawelPepe's topic in Windows API
Not so simple then, I've not seen running code that executes with identical integrity, tokens and access.. A few posts on SO claim to have solved it but the Scheduler works so I've found no need to retest all for that.. ShellRun('Open', 'Schtasks', '/Create /F /SC ONCE /TN taskname /TR "<cmd>" /ST 00:00', swHide); ShellRun('Open', 'Schtasks', '/Run /TN taskname', swHide); ShellRun('Open', 'Schtasks', '/Delete /F /TN taskname', swHide); Add some error checking and it works.. -

FredS replied to PawelPepe's topic in Windows API
Once you run elevated you have access to the Scheduler, use Schtasks.exe to Create/Ru/Delete a task to run that app.. -

How does the "Address Space Randomization (ASLR)" actually work
FredS replied to Tommi Prami's topic in General Help
I don't have 11.2, but the fact that madExcept needed an update to deal with ASLR tells me its finally working. Redux: https://blog.marcocantu.com/blog/rad111_pe_security.html -

Update Subscription: Embarcadero policy seriously this bad?
FredS replied to Al T's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
I didn't renew last February and in the good bye letter from EMBT there was something about being able to reactivate it.. I don't have it handy but pretty sure there was a period specified when it can be reactivated. Maybe you better clarify that with subscriptions.. -
Wouldn't it be simpler just to use ShellAPI and Windows to zip?
