Delphi was behaving fine in regards to startup until recently, when the IDE 'freezes' upon startup, after loading all design time packages. The splash screen shows the added component packages loading, and then nothing. If I set BDS.exe to run as admin it opens as before. There must be(maybe?) a file somewhere that a security setting has changed (maybe I did without knowing in a previous IDE session). I have re-installed some of the components, with no change. I do not plan to re install Delphi - I will wait for 11.3... Any suggestions or feedback is appreciated.

" 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

Thanks for some information - more information on my situation - If I login as another user and start Delphi 'normally' it is ok... user registry... rgds

A 'legacy' environment - with 'old...' applications running on Windows Server 2000. I have a support application running on the same server that was developed in earlier versions of Delphi and lastly compiled in Delphi 10.4.2. I recently compiled the same app in Delphi 11 - win32 and tried to run that app om W2000. 'not a valid win32 application'. Just to test and verify that it is Delphi 11 and not the app--- I created a test VCL app with a FORM and no manifest or other 'newer' project options enabled and tried to run that on w2000. - same message. (*Just Curious and want to learn*) - I know W2000 is no longer a valid o/s to work with (maybe now that win32 apps would not work on XP!). QUESTION - what internal new 'feature' in Delphi 11 causes the compilation to create a win32 app exe in the file that is not recognized now? -the answer may be in a Delphi 11 release note ? Thanks in advance

I do not use the ttreeview alot. I recently started to use it and while the application was in DEBUG mode there were no issues. No changes or ifdefs in code but simply changing to release - and it does not work! Delphi 11.2 with latest patches. example code snippet: calling: TfrmMain.ttreeViewChange(Sender: TObject; Node: TTreeNode); //.... if Node.HasAsParent(myParentNode) then begin myParentNode := Node.Parent; strParentText := myParentNode.Text; end; when in DEBUG = strParentText string has a value (which I use to compare and branch later in the code) when in RELEASE = strParentText is empty... Has anyone seen this before? I am do more tests and my plan is to make a dedicated pre populated treeview to test against. (and send to Embarcadero) Thanks in advance

Thank you for your responses, I changed my code to the following and it works: no need for a 'myParentNode' if Node.Level > 0 then begin strParentText := Node.Parent.Text; end; regards all

Something curious is occurring in one of my VCL projects: The application works perfectly, and has several buttons, list boxes and one datagrid. The TOP property of only 1 button, the HEIGHT property of the Listobx and the TOP property of the datagrid change back to a fixed value when the form is closed. For example the button in question upon opening after a close unit, is off the form. (top value greater than form height). I move the button so it is visible again on the form. Close form. Open form - button TOP is back to the other value, 'out of sight'. Short solution is to redefine the respective property in the on form create event....? Not a real solution. Is this a DFM issue? This is a new application, other apps - seem ok. Thanks in advance

(Windows 10 - I am admin on PC) 1. install did not work on one PC (this had 10.4-and was-is my'new version test PC'. (I could install it on another PC no issue) 2. IDE modification -settings do not get save between IDE sessions. -- Fonts --customizing toolbars Once Delphi is started again -back to initial installation settings.

I have seen the ICS demos and have successfully used the following components: TSslSmtpCli TSslContext TIcsRestEmail to connect and send emails from a user - based application, = outlook office, Microsoft Azure with proper API permissions for authentication. However, I cannot see this working for a Service-based application where there is no one logged in for the web page to appear. (send emails only, no need to read) Is there a demo or instructions if this is possible to implement? thank you in advance

update: I have it working to my satisfaction. Thank you for your pointing me in the direction to a solution. I did have to 'store' the token securely and update it if it is refreshed. (I might have the terms wrong, but it works) Best regards all

Update - I just noticed that if I initially use a RefrToken for the SslSmtpClient when sending, I get a NEW RefrToken. so if I save this new RefrToken and re-use it the next time this can continue and never need the web page authorization? regards

Angus, I know I am confused... Thank you for your patience. I see that I am obtaining both a RefrToken string AND AccToken string. I am NOT saving the RefrToken string, at the moment. The AccToken has an expiry datetime which is one (1) hour into the future of the request moment. As a test, I did hard code the RefrToken into the SslSmtpClient.OAuthToken property and when I sent an email, there was NO web login authorization web page and the email was sent successfully. As you indicated, the RefrToken is the long-lived token. Is there a property on SslSmtpClient or ICsResetEmail that shows the expiry date of this token? A quick web search shows it is 90 days vs 1 hour for the AccToken. Question=with a proper RefrToken can I then use GetNewToken(False) or how would that be done? thanks in advance

" I assume you are referring to an OAuth2 login page appearing in a browser during authentication " <<That is correct. The token I use with Microsoft Azure seems to be for 1 hour. For the non-service app this is not an issue and the browser pops up but the app continues. " Your service can email an admin to update the token manually if it expires. " <<Is this practical?How can the service email without a valid token? **The service runs on an unattended PC that is not the same as the working app** Thunderbird is a non-MS app that uses OAUTH2 and the browser pop up does not occur. So I thought that it was possible, even for an interactive app. Any ideas are appreciated. thks

Martin thank you for this information. I had to set the PE Versions to 5.0 to get the O/S to recognize it, and now it runs. regards and all the best!

I had not tried the F1 - but yet it does not open a specific version 11 help - it refers to 10.x Doc Wiki link goes to Delphi 11 Alexandria page.

More feedback. 1. When I have a win application project open- and switch from win32 to win64 -- and I need to add a new library path to the Win64 environment- The Library .. Selected Platform DOES NOT FOLLOW - the initial Selected Platform is STILL win32.... 2. Exes generated by Delphi11 are 'slightly smaller' than those for the equivalent app generated in 10.4.2 The look and feel for Delphi 11 is nice but it seems to me the concentration was on eye candy and new code candy, not on basic IDE usability in regards to 10.x IDE (font, toolbar persistence, library path selection matching project)?

UPDATE: I deleted other applications that increased the system PATH variable to below 1800 and DID not get the install WARNING from the install routine and STILL got the error - BDS.EXE was not found in the folder, though many other files and folders were created.

web install exe failed for me, started install - then error -could not find bds.exe (in the Studio\22.0\bin folder? I will try the ISO image **ISO image has same issue. Many folders created, files copied. BUT there is ***no*** BDS.EXE in the 22.0 \bin folder ISSUE may be Path - I do get a warning but I have pruned down the path as best I can. WHY in this day and age would Delphi use PATH?

I am looking at a non-https intraweb application. I see the iW authorization components and the Autherevent looks promising. I see that placing it on the servercontroller and using the oncheck event I get what I need. Before anything happens when connecting to the iw web server the prompt comes up. When this is sent back to the server from a browser is that message encrypted in anyway with iW functionality or is it open html text? Thanks in advance

in one of my applications there is a custom menu component -not TMenu i have been using it pre 10.4.2 in one application App A I am working on (so far), when I open up the project I get the message 'xx' component not found. --However it is installed (and in the pallette). If I open another application (not with this component) and add the menu vcl to this app and close this app and open up the first app then it appears again - no error message. HOWEVER when i close Delphi and re-open it and open App A - same error message until I run the excercise described above. I have not seen this before. (I have not yet checked other apps using this component since I just updated to 10.4.2) Any suggestions welcome. stay safe

Side note=I went back to TMENU and used screen font to set font size as desired. Otherwise issue still exists

Balabuev -It is the class of the menu component - not a menu item. See attached. As per earlier posts - I can always 'get it back' - temporarily and so far it only an issue in the one project. It is an OLD component I have carried over many Delphi versions. The only reason I use it is that I can set the FONT of the menu. I am looking at alternatives also thanks

Lars Do you have a possible idea on this one? There are no TFrames(s). The main form has a TPagecontrol on the TForm. I am using this code: procedure DockForm(Source: TControl; Destination: TWinControl); begin if Source = nil then Exit; if Destination <> nil then begin Source.ManualDock(Destination, Destination, alClient); Source.Align := alClient; Source.Show; end else begin Source.Visible := false; Source.ManualDock(nil); end; end; **This is from DOPC code - KASSL since this is an OPC client project -I implemented this from an example project from KASSL. This places some other forms visually in elements of the main form, but that code is ONLY executed at runtime, right? In other projects I make extensive use of TFrames, but not this one. **Again - this issue is new. Regards

If I open up RAD studio and the problematic applicaiton is the first one I open I have this issue. The VCL component is installed and the BPL exists in the correct location. "Class xxx not found" Ignore the error and continue etc. message. -If I close the project (without saving) - open another project with the same VCL component without error - close this project the problematic projects opens - WITHOUT this error. -If I open RAD Studio - FIRST open another project with the component -no errors - I close this project and open up the problematic project - NO ERROR. It may not be a general issue with 10.4.2 but there is some error - corruption with the project. This same project was being developed in 10.4.1 for weeks with no issue. Hope this helps. Any ideas - comments - suggestions will be looked into.
