Marco also states, in the same blog post, that the patches will be made available in the download portal. I found them at my.embarcadero.com and cc.embarcadero.com/reg/delphi (although the latter is painfully slow). I no longer have an active subscription, it expired with Berlin 10.1, but I am able to download these patches (not that I need to).

@berean52, are you on Windows 10, and if so, is Controlled Folder Access enabled? You can check for this in Settings | Update & Security | Windows Security | Virus & threat protection | Manage ransomware protection (or more quickly, by clicking the Start button and typing "Controlled Folder Access", and selecting that option). The reason I ask is that the behaviour you are seeing - the licensing server says all is well, but the local IDE says not - suggests that the IDE is unable to access the licence file on startup thus thinks it does not exist. A possible reason for the inability to access the licence file is if Controlled Folder Acess is in force and blocking the IDE. Nigel

The iTask definition is required for the Parallel Programming Library routines, these are available in XE7+. The article linked to in the ProgressBar example source is a good read: http://www.thedelphigeek.com/2015/10/updating-progress-bar-from-parallel-for.html

For info, I updated my SVN copy of ICS, then re-installed on D2007, D10.1, and D10.3 CE (after cleaning out old installations). All went fine, no errors or issues.

I presume you need to load it dynamically from advapi32.dll, not tried it myself.

Thanks Angus. I'd left behind the older BPLs when i removed 8.64. Did a more thorough cleaning job then tried again, "missing" components installed correctly. Still had the problem with VCLZipPack though, so I may not have been as thorough as I should have. When I looked at OverbyteIcsD2007Run.dproj it had a "Contains" for $(%systemroot)\system32\vclzippack.dcp (or similar, can't remember the exact naming). I deleted this dproj and updated the svn, then had a clean dproj without that Contains. Whilst working on this I downloaded the latest 8.65 zip (for all versions, not the one just for Sidney) from overbyte.eu, to check if there was a Contains in that version's OverbyteIcsD2007Run.dproj for the VclFixPack. There wasn't, but what there is - and I presume it shouldn't be there - is a Contains for C:\Users\angus\Desktop\MagentaXfer2007W.dcp? Nigel

Just a heads-up, you might want to correct the spelling in the title of that page.

I've done that! It was a very long time ago, to obtain a shiny "City & Guilds" certificate 🙂 (that's a UK kind of post-school, practical skills examination board).
