The wuppdi Welcome Page start-screen text overwrites the next line on the IDE start-screen, as you can see from the above screenshot.

Daniel, first of all, thank you very much for the WWP! And I suppose you wouldn't give away the source for users to compile it themselves for their version?

Are you sure you mean "as the first package to be loaded"? Wouldn't that move the problem at the top of the splash list?

The only workaround I have found is to uninstall it WWP package, then restart the IDE, and then reinstall it. This makes the "wuppdi" splash text go at the end of the splash list: But as soon as I would add another package it would go up in the list again and the problem would reappear. So is there no way for me as a user to fix this problem?

What is the cause of the server malfunction? High temperatures? Why not building data centers in the Arctic? At least we could get funny error messages like: "A polar bear caused a malfunction in our datacenter".

Has anyone ever used Microsoft Application Virtualization for running the Delphi IDE in a kind of virtualized sandbox on a Windows 10 x64 desktop environment? Application Virtualization (also known as Process Virtualization) is a software technology that encapsulates computer programs from the underlying operating system on which it is executed. A fully virtualized application is not installed in the traditional sense, although it is still executed as if it were. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_App-V

Do you speak for yourself or for anyone?

To witch question do you refer?

ThinApp sounds also very interesting, with the ability to create SNAPSHOTS: https://www.vmware.com/products/thinapp.html

In a week I will migrate to a new system with new hardware and new OS: From: Windows 7 x64 SP 1, Delphi 10.1 Berlin, Delphi 10.3.1 To: Windows 10 Pro x64, new installation During the migration, Delphi will be used mainly on the new system, but it could also be started a few times on the old system. Is this a problem? What are the best practices for such a migration, from your experiences? Could anybody give me a few helpful hints?

OK, that must be a new version.

What about the VM files? AFAIR VMWare Workstation has a habit of storing them SOMEWHERE deeply nested in DIFFERENT directories on the C:\ Partition.

I have tested VMWare WorkstationPlayer with Windows 7 x64 as a host and Windows 10 Insider as a guest. Unfortunately, it did not work: There were problems with each new start.

In Delphi 10.3.1 License Manager, when I REPEATEDLY click on a Workstation License node in the "Workstation Licenses" tree (or press ANY KEY) then EACH TIME the "This License Activates:" list shows different items: Items shown on first click: Items shown on consecutive click:

This is very confusing for the user. I have never seen such strange behavior. Is this intentional? Maybe a gimmick? Or was the programmer bored? Or a virus?

Unfortunately, the Delphi License Manager does not have an "Export" feature where I can export all my licenses shown in the License Manager. It has only an "Import" feature:

How does Delphi know that I am the same person on the new computer as on the old computer?

How should the license be transferred from the old computer to the new computer?

Thanks for your hints. Do you mean having the whole Windows 10 operating system in a VM? AFAIK there is no way to run only a single application in a VM?

In Delphi, I have configured the IDE to automatically load the previous project at startup. Is there an IDE Command Line Switch to DEACTIVATE the auto-loading of the previous project? I have looked here but did not find any: http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Rio/en/IDE_Command_Line_Switches_and_Options

In Delphi Rio 10.3.1, the Project is configured for Debugging: Steps: 1. First I make sure that all source files are saved. 2. Then I start debugging (F9) 3. Then, at the first breakpoint, I press F8 (Step Over). This makes this dialog appear: When I look in the project folder, the only file which has been changed since debug start is MyProject.res. So why this file gets changed after the start of the debug session? This is the content of the RES file: This is very annoying and did not happen in previous Delphi versions. How can this be avoided?

There is truth in this.

Well, it could be useful to specify a specific version of the program independently from the version number.

I will ask the CnWizards developer to add an option to not be used in debug mode. If you think about it, there is no sense using the compilation date in when debugging.

It is called "VERSION CONTROL"!
