    And when you reinstalled, did you re-use an existing license or enter a new CE-specific license?

    IIRC, it refused to install with the existing license, so i had to get a new. But i don't remember clearly, it was months ago.

    It doesn't matter whether you understand the reason or not--it's not supported which is why Embarcadero won't help you.

    Embarcadero did not even know that i installed it on windows 7, because i did not say it, because i did not know that it is important. They did not help, because i am not a paying customer.

    And remember, you can deploy to Windows 7 but you should not develop on Windows 7.

    I don't have windows 10.

    I'm suspecting you installed the trial then uninstalled and installed the CE, perhaps using an existing license--or some other scenario that confused the installer.

    Confused the installer? How can i confuse the installer in a way to make it believe that a non-existent product is installed?

    So what I would suggest is uninstall all remnants of Delphi and/or C++Builder and reinstall Delphi CE and be sure to enter a new CE license. If you already did this, you'll have to call Embarcadero for support.

    I've already installed, uninstalled and reinstalled these environments multiple times. Embarcadero only answered WONTHELP, CLOSED to all my mails/reports.

    Are you installing the IDE on Windows 7, by chance?

    I am, it is visible on the first attached image.

    Windows 7 (and 8 ) was dropped as a supported installation platform for the IDE in 10.4 Sydney (it is still supported as a target platform for compiled projects):

    I don't have windows 10 here. I don't get the reason behind this though; windows 7 and 8 are still being used by one out of six people...

    It is not a file.  In RAD Studio, Delphi and C++ are implemented as separate "personalities", each with its own toolchain, IDE settings, etc.  Each project specifies which personality it targets.  Think of personalities as the IDE plugins for implementing different programming languages.  So, the "missing personality" error means the IDE can't find the Delphi personality installed.

     

    Which Community Edition did you actually install?  There is no RAD Studio CE, there are only separate Delphi CE and C++Builder CE.  This is covered in the Community Edition FAQs.

     

    You can't open Delphi projects in C++Builder CE, as there is no Delphi personality installed.  To work with Delphi projects, you need either Delphi CE, or the full RAD Studio. 

    It is RAD Studio CE. See attached image.

    I have encountered the "missing personality" from time to time too. A quick fix that works for me is:
    In the IDE, open Tools - Manage platforms and hit Apply (without changing anything)

    Close/open the IDE a then the project opens fine.

    Hope it helps ...

    Unfortunately did not helped. Only an error message appeared after "loading" for some time. See attached image for the error message.

  4. I worked with Delphi a lot before 2008, but then i had switched to Linux and moved to Lazarus/FreePascal. Still, i could manage to deal with modern Delphi code, if i could compile it. The previous developer never said it needs the Professional version, just that he uses that. The customer cannot pay that much what the Professonal version costs.

     

    I installed everything what the Trial version offered.


  5. Hello,

     

    I would have to take over the development of some medical management system, written in RAD Studio 10.1.
    - First i've tried the Trial Version of RAD, but due to the lack of the FireDAC units, the program is not compiling.
    - Currently i try to compile it with the Community Edition, but that cannot even open the project, complaining about the lack of some kind of "Delphi.Personality" file.
    - The original developer could not help, he said, he used the Pro version without problems. (I have no money for the Pro version, but since this is a paying job, not a favor for some fellow dude, i refuse to pirate it.)
    - I tried to get some help from Embarcadero, but they had refused to give any kind of help, all they replied each time was WONTHELP, CLOSED.
    - Internet didn't help.

     

    Any ideas?
