Regarding: "Looking at the 23.0\bin folder - folder structure folders and files are there but NOT bds.exe " With help from Embarcadero Technical Support I was able to get the installation going with success. A complete un install lead me to the conclusion that something I did in the past created an issue. I installed in another login user admin profile with no issues and then could use 12.1 in my 'normal' login profile.

I just have Windows 11 Virus and Threat protection - and no warning or message from that system?

OK, I am able to attempt to install now, but back to the original error where installation continues and 'registering entries' and copying files to ..\Embarcadero\Studio\23.0 but fails to install bds.exe. Looking at the 23.0\bin folder - folder structure folders and files are there but NOT bds.exe?! I see bds.* files but not that one... Any help is appreciated

"A Previous Version of RAD Studio 12 was found on your system" - How can I thoroughly clean up file(s) or registry setting to get past this? "The previous version is not removed. Unable to continue" TIA

I tried to install the web installer and it said that it could not find BDS.EXE. Then I tried to completely un-install, and now an install attempt says "The previous version is not removed. Unable to continue" Am I screwed? I can not install the original 12.0 web install either -same message. Would the ISO image be the next step? TIA

I changed the setting from consumers to common - I think it may work

what are the options - I see that this is a new entry - at the moment it says consumers. Can I leave it blank? tia😮

I have an application that sends emails via outlook office 365. The application uses the Overbyte components sslsmtpclient, sslcontect, icsrestemail and was developed in Delphi 11 on Windows 10 (ICS v8), and the co ordination to obtain 'tokens' etc with a web page initially popping up to log in to MS and verify the user continues to work. With the release of Delphi 12 last year I am using ICS v9. The application behaves the same on an initial email send attempt to obtain tokens and authorize against the microsoft outlook com user, HOWEVER the web page login now 'redirects' to a GITHUB LOGIN to get to microsoft... THIS IS different than ICS v8 application. I have a GITHUB account but my users DO NOT.. (and do not need one) It has been over 1 year since I developed the Delphi 11 ICS v8 application - is there some low level source code settings that I need to modify 'not' to use GITHUB or a setting in one of the components I am missing? Thanks in advance all - PS Happy New Year!

Yes my experience is with a VCL application..

Yes- on my clean VM, when trying to start a test app with no dll - Runtime error 217 with dll- working so - the appropriate dll needs to be deployed

ok, I think I know what may be happening. I cannot test on the application I am working on but can test it on a test app. --I 'enabled' SKIA via the IDE but that was all. I have no SKIA components in use. So I think that is why the app ran with or without the dll. If I drop a skia component then I expect errors,,

I just ran it on a VM Windows 10 without Dephi 12 installed and just the exe and not the sk4d.dll file. --It still ran....

I have a question in regards to the new SKI support. When I 'enabled' SKIA in the IDE there was no noticeable change to the project or settings that I found. I could 'disable' it on the IDE as well. What I finally noticed was in the executable folder there was now a sk4d.dll. If I move the file out of that directory the application still ran. (I was expecting some sort of load error (?)).. My question- so even though the application is self contained otherwise - the 32 bit or 64 bit sk4d.dll file needs now to be deployed also? Thanks in advance

" Is there a Nexus db connected component in one of the apps of yours, which is active at design-time, but which db cannot be reached from your PC? " < The issue should not be with an app since no project is loaded on start up. If the IDE is running the nexus components are not design-time active. This is strange indeed. -I have another PC where I run new releases of Delphi as a test before going to my dev PC. The IDE has nexus installed and run non-admin mode just fine.

More Info 1. I identified the VCL component install that is involved in the IDE freeze on start up. --I did an uninstall (complete as far as I know) of 11.3 and re-installed Delphi. I then started to re-install the 3rd party components. The issue is involved with the installation of the NexusDB component (4.700 or 4.701 - I did not try to install earlier vns) There is the Design time BPL that if 'checked' in the component palette will cause the freeze upon start up, or if removed and the IDE is started in non-admin ok and that BPL is added - the IDE is ok until I try to close and the the IDE freezes.!! 2. I have another PC for test installs of software and Delphi 11.3 and the Nexus component works just fine in non-admin mode. ??? regards all
