Thanks. I've worked around it by declaring FileSig.arrSig as a fixed array, e.g: array [0..4] of byte, then I can set the const array using padding where necessary e.g. arrSig: ($00, $01, $02, $00, $00); By adding a SigLength to the FileSig type I will know what padded bytes I can remove when I come to using the array.

E2010 incompatible types: 'dynamic array' and 'Set'

Using Delphi D2007. I'm trying to do the following: type FileSig = record Offset: Integer; arrSig: array of byte; end; const sig1: FileSig = (Offset: 10; arrSig: array [0..2] of byte = ($00,$01,$02); ) But I can't: E2029 ')' expected but ',' found In D10+ I can do: const sig1: FileSig = (Offset: 10; arrSig: [$00,$01,$02]; ) Is there a way I can do similar in D2007?

Hi, The following access violation occurs when running the "HTTP Dowload List of Files" snippet with the program compiled as 64Bit: HTTP Error - Access violation at address 000000000090E55F in module 'OverbyteIcsSnippets.exe'. Read of address 0000000000000004 It works seamlessly with no errors when the program is compiled as 32Bit. Using latest svn version of ICS 9.1, compiled using D11.3 CE running on Windows 10 and on Windows 11. Full diagnostic attached. Is this issue duplicatable or just something to do with my setup? diag.txt

Don't get hooked up on just books. There is a lot of useful visual material on the Net that is targeted at Delphi beginners. Embarcadero's Helpful Resources for New Users has some good links to both books and visual resources.

Check where the GetIt server is pointing and try an alternative. In the registry key HKCU\Software\Embarcadero\BDS\21.0\CatalogRepository look at the value for "ServiceUrl". If it isn't already, change this to https://getit.embarcadero.com and retry the installation. That's the url my copy of D10.4 (CE) is pointing at, and the GetIt Package Manager seems to connect fine.

I've used FileZilla for some time. I've just checked my latest installation: Version 3.66.5 Signature: VirusTotal: As @Vincent Parrettsuggests, the installer referenced by the OP may indeed bundle "sponsorship" software. Each time FileZilla updates it shows a sponsorship screen stating who sponsored the latest update - but it's only shown the once and is not intrusive.

That's not a code-signing certificate, that's just a time-stamped certificate. A code-signing certificate looks like this:

Ask yourself if you really need an alternative to what is already built into your Windows OS - Windows Defender. It's always-on, it's updated several times a day as new threats emerge, it's as built-in to the OS as any AV can be, it's configurable - and it's free. Edit to add: I rely far more on disk image backups to protect against malware occurrences (and other issues like hardware failure), and would recommend such as the first line of defence. No anti-malware program can protect you against the next 0-day, until many systems - maybe yours, maybe mine - have already been compromised.

And, I'm pleased to say, the GetIt server is once again available in Delphi 11.3 CE. My cyniscism was misplaced.

Is it cynical to suggest that Embarcadero won't bother repairing getit servers for earlier versions? They don't seem to like having to support any version other than the current.

Bite the bullet. Download and install Delphi CE 11.3 (the current available CE edition). When you register for it, you'll get a new key. Migrate your project to the new version - I doubt it will need much changing to work as-is. Frankly, it's not as if you have much choice unless you want to pay for a Professional version (which does give you licences for previous versions). One word of caution: I'd hang back for a few days before downloading/installing CE 11.3 until Embarcadero have all their servers working properly again.

Nobody told me ..shrug..

You should be able to check here: https://getitnow.embarcadero.com/ Edit to add: although unless the listing description mentions Delphi 12, I'm not sure it helps for determining if any particular component has been updated to support the latest.
