Gday, For the past couple of weeks I've been seeing a message on my Windows ARM VM saying the version of Windows had expired and it was time to upgrade. Dutifully, I downloaded a new "iso", which is actually a Windows VHDX (from memory). If I mount that image (or any of a number of versions I downloaded), there is no setup.exe nor any file in the root: only the expected folders. So I tried writing the image to a 2TB external drive, using rufus. The resulting image looks the same, with no files in the root of the drive. So my question (if it's not obvious) is this: is there anybody still running a current version of Windows 11 ARM on a Mac with Apple silicon using VMWare Fusion? (My version is a paid one at v13.6). Regards and thanks to all! Pat

Update: I finally worked out that the Windows VHDX is a complete filesystem, and not an installer ISO as I had expected. I used QEMU to convert it to a VMWare VMDK, then created a VM around it. When I fired up the VM, I was presented with Windows' initial setup screen. Once the setup was complete, it then pointed out that there was an even later version of Windows, which it then proceeded to download and install. So my VMWare Windows ARM is working and up to date, finally!

Gday, Thanks for making this tool available! I've just tried to use it on a C++ Builder 32-bit binary and got the following: map2pdb - Copyright (c) 2021 Anders Melander Version 3.1.2 Fatal: [ 44] Modules overlap: C:\PROGRAM, C:\PROGRAM 0001:0003AD33 00000297 C=CODE S=_TEXT G=(none) M=C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\EMBARCADERO\STUDIO\22.0\LIB\WIN32\DEBUG\RTL.LIB|System.Internal.ExcUtils ACBP=A9 Am I doing something wrong? My command line is D:\Devel\CPP\BlueVane\BVMultisport\Win32\Debug>map2pdb BVMultisport.map -bind Executable was compiled under RS 11.3, with recommended options for the mapfile. Thank you!

In design view, right click your query and select "Fields Editor...". If the field that has been changed is listed here, delete it and click "Add All Fields" or "Add Field...".

Gday, When I try to install Athens, I get the error "no more platforms pending to install". It's a fresh OS install on VMWare Fusion on an M1 Mac. Any suggestions please? Ta, Pat

How much RAM and what processor does your development machine have?

Gday all, I have an application that was working prior to Monterey. It uses the PostgreSQL libraries libpq.dylib (and its related dylibs). Since Monterey, it can't successfully load libpq.dylib. I realise this could also mean that it can't succesfully load one of the libraries upon which libpq relies. I have added an FDPhysPgDriverLink instance to my data module, and login, database, server and port vales are correct. After some research, I came across this article: http://clarkkromenaker.com/post/library-dynamic-loading-mac/ I expect I need to add an LC_RPATH command to my binary, pointing to @executable_path/../Libraries (which is where I put libpq.dylib et al). I've tried doing this in a shell on the Mac, but that fails because it invalidates the code signing. Is there a way to add this stuff (ideally during the build process within the IDE)? Oh, I'm using RAD Studio 11.2 (plus patch) on Windows 10 Pro PC and XCode 14.1 on Macbook Pro M1. Thanks, Pat

You should only need the bitness that relates to your binary. But you will also get the same message if the libraries that libpq needs aren't there, so make sure you also have: libeay32.dll libintl-8.dll ssleay32.dll in the same directory. If you still need the 32-bit libpq, you can get it by downloading an old pgadmin.

Gday, From the Delphi drag and drop example: DragImage := Control.MakeScreenshot; Svc.BeginDragDrop(Self, DragData, DragImage); DragImage is a TBitmap Control is a TControl descendent Regards, Pat

If all else fails, Download and install PGAdmin 3.
