Can I setup ELC without the running servers?

What? So let me ask the question again. I recently bought the latest Delphi. How can I install it without the running servers? So the mentioned "update your license" or whatever won't work either.

How does it work? Sorry I'm not a professional, I'm constantly on the go.

How? The installer asks for a serial and l/p

How can I install Delphi without their running servers? What happens when these servers are gone forever for any reason?

Any thoughts about how this should be patched until it's fixed? https://www.delphipraxis.net/1530328-post10.html I have started to receive error reports on that.

I'll go with this, until it's fixed. // D12 caFree patch // https://www.delphipraxis.net/1530328-post10.html // https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-43547 procedure TCForm.WndProc(var Message: TMessage); begin if message.Msg = CM_RELEASE then Dispatch(message) else inherited WndProc(message); end; Let this example stand as a sign of how beneficial it is to always use a common form.

Ok, CM_RELEASE has no job in form's wnd proc, I have to hop to TWinControls WndProc

@Dalija Prasnikar Ok, I see now where the problem is. However, since VisualManager_AcceptMessage is not virtual, the only way to fix that without adding a patched Vcl.Forms to the project is to handle CM_RELEASE without calling the WndProc... As I always use a common form, this should be manageable. I just have to examine what CM_RELEASE should do... let's see. Thank you

404 😉

I no longer receive warnings about unknown custom attributes in Delphi 12. Could there be a compiler directive that went global, perhaps? Moved from 10.2.

Is there an alternative D12 Welcome page available? I find the lack of separation between recent and favorites and the overall design with the love signs to be jarring and reminiscent of a Hello Kitty coloring book.

It went small automatically when I loaded Chuck 🙂

I didn't know what I was missing, thanks, @Lars Fosdal.

Ahhh, now I get it. Thanks!! Much better now!

Thx Lars, the mentioned plugin is better. I just need less colors in that too 😄 But I'm planning a modder plugin for that if nothing happens 😉

Same here, restarted the IDE, now I'm having the warnings. I'll keep an eye on that, I'm not dumb, there were no warnings.

Thank you for this plugin @gkobler. (The Download link is 404 on the English version of the website.) Could you move the icons to resources or over-load them from files if they exist? Or just provide a setting to turn them off? On the occasion, of course.

Download link is 404 on the English version of the page (It's cool that you can have multiple favorite groups... I really like the idea!)

Wow, danke! Wer hat's erfunden? 🙂

Any readings on that? I can't find anything on it, just the annoying otares kept, res discarded messages at compile time.

Yes I did that already.

Why are you asking? Source?

Alright, I'll believe you, for now. But I can't seem to find the string "otares" (other than OTARes...) in any of the emba binaries or the registry (except in the file history), nor can I get Delphi to generate one. I'll consider it to be Nessie's droppings until someone can show me how to make Delphi spit out otareses.
