I've been using GExperts with Delphi 6 for a long time now, and everything worked nicely so far. I've updated it every time a new version came out, by using your installer (keeping the settings). That was up to version 1.3.18 (included).
The new version, 1.3.20, causes the Delphi 6 IDE to either crash with an error message upon start (when I had the previous GExpert settings) or to suddenly (after a few seconds from starting) exit to desktop with no message at all (that was after I cleared all GExpert settings from the registry). Weird.
I went back to 1.3.18 for Delphi 6, with no issues. 1.3.20 works fine on Delphi 10.4.2 by the way.
I didn't make any changes to Delphi 6 IDE (e.g. no new components). I've had it setup as it is now for quite some time.
I didn't yet try it, but does it seem plausible that it might just work if I compile GExperts myself? I've already read on your blog post that you've hit a dead-end with debugging the issue.
