No. It was for integration with a property portal. They were returning a request_id but I was not providing one so was interested in knowing where it came from. Further investigation revealed that they were always returning the same one for each property so looks like they are creating it themselves!

I don't know how anyone can live without DevEx!

Yes I could but have chosen not to on the basis that there are very probably other major bugs in D11 at this stage.

I am certainly waiting for a major bug to be fixed relating to TRESTRequest before I can use D11 in production. See https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-35341

TMS have one see https://www.tmssoftware.com/site/tmsmqtt.asp

Lars suggestion on creating DB in appdata only if the DB does not already exist is the easiest way forward.

GetIt just downloads the latest setup from my server so the version displayed in getit is not accurate. I am talking to EMBT about a possibly different way of doing this but they have not replied yet. I considered possibly having 2 different locations for DB. Jury is still out 🙂

I do normally install databases/inii files to appdata\roaming but as this application started out just for my use I took shortcuts. Now I'm going to have to copy existing databases. Oh well, that's what I get for being lazy!

I'll ask EMBT if there is a better way of distributing this.

Yes. Installing to program files is not a good idea in this case as it needs to create a database. I have certificates for chargeoble applications but I'm not about to buy one for a piece of software that I'm trying to give away!

I'll check the innosetup settings.

It is signed.

Can you please try installing again. I have removed the limitation on the architectures but I do not have Windows Arm installed so cannot test it.

Hi, Can anyone tell me if this combination will work. Compiles ok in release mode but when deploying get error: [PAClient Error] Error: E0776 2021-10-16 10:12:08.521 xcodebuild[26802:1174757] [MT] IDEDistribution: -[IDEDistributionLogging _createLoggingBundleAtPath:]: Created bundle at path "/var/folders/lg/_86s5gw55yj039w5d4_xhb5r0000gn/T/SAM_2021-10-16_10-12-08.519.xcdistributionlogs". Thanks, Ken

Seems I have Architextures allowed set to just X64 in innosetup. I will do a new build asap.

Great. Thanks for the feedback.

It's just a normal Windows installation program.

I'm pleased to say that Embarcadero have added LaunchGen to GetIt for Delphi 10.4 and 11.

New version of Launch Gen available. The sampling filter can now be changed. It defaults to Mitchell.

The images I previously provide were generated with just 256 colors. These are generated using true color the first one is the iPhone_Spotlight80, the last one is the Android_Notification24.

With so few pixels there is not much that can be done but I will look into providing alternative sampling algorithms.

The Windows Icon file is created with image sizes of 16x16, 24 x 24, ,32x32, ,48x48 ,64x64,72x72, 96x96, 128x128, 256x256 and 512x512 pixels as well as creating the UWP 44x44 and 150x150 logo images. All images are resized using the Mitchell filter which I find to be the best for most icons. I could make the choice of filter to user definable.

It works equally well with VCL.

I should add, in case there is any confusion, that LaunchGen is not a generic application for editing/resizing images. It specifically generates Android, iPhone, iPad and Windows icons/splashimages required for Delphi FMX projects, More details are available here https://karmobile.net/LaunchGen

The smallest size required to be generated is the iPhone_Spotlight29 but it also really depends a lot on the quality of the initial image used.
