GetIt installation does not work

[PeterPanettone 158]

Now that GetIt is available again in Delphi 12, I tried installing an item. But something is wrong with the GetIt Package Manager installation mechanism - when clicking on the 'Yes' button, nothing happens:

 

 

There seems to be something hidden behind the dialog box. I could only kill the IDE from Task Manager!

 

Can anyone confirm this?

To me all is working right, and the image that you send is the same for me.

 

I don't know if patch 1 is needed to use the "new" getit (I use it with patch 1 installed and all works fine).

I, too, have tried the GetIt installation with Patch 1. Same error as before.

Works fine here as well - updated KSVC in Delphi 12 patch 1 without issues. 

 

There are dialogs for this will require a restart of the IDE and restart the IDE that some packages put up during installation.

That's where the error occurred. Another GetIt installation (which did not include a UAC prompt) worked flawlessly.

My KSVC update seemingly installed OK but when I went to update my project it couldn't find some KSVC components.

I had to de/re install KSVC and all was good.

Does anybody know what the KSVC update changed/updated?

They probably just had to be recompiled.

Is there a way to change the path to the GetIt server in 11.2? It's been days since I've been able to access it. Using the browser access doesn't check for things already installed and, AFAIK, give access to any of the patches.

D12.0 Pro is working fine though I get a sense that getting Patch 1 might be an adventure.

Currently there is no GetIt server for 11.2! They are still working on it.

Hi,

Thanks for the update. I suspect 12.x is their priority, as it should be. BTW the 12.1 install worked fine.

 

I'm in the middle of a big project and don't want to try to migrate to 12. New stuff, yes, but not old for now. Once the project is "out the door" (is it really ever?), I'll migrate to 12.  If I read correctly, I may as well hold off doing that until some  new "in-line registration" 12.x is released,since that would require uninstalling and reinstalling, which means reinstalling all the GetIt packages, no?

Only if you installed 12 from GetIt/online originally. 

 

I always install from the ISO, and yesterday updated with patch 1 (it is not 12.1) and several component updates using GetIt.

Is it cynical to suggest that Embarcadero won't bother repairing getit servers for earlier versions? They don't seem to like having to support any version other than the current.

As of today a rebuilt 11.3 web installer is available on my.embarcadero.com.

I just installed 12.1 community edition and try to install JEDI Visual Componnent Library 2023.11

It gave me an error that i must install jcl first.

When i tried to uninstall it, it said that the jvclInstall.exe is missing.

 

I downloaded jvcl from github and try to install locally, then it showed that this version of the product does not support command line compiling. aborting

 

How can i install JEDI component into the 12.1 community edition via getit.

 

Now, i removed the JEDI Component library and JEDI Visual component library from the CategoryRepository directory.

GetIt now showed the install button and when i click on it, it state that JEDI is already installed.

 

sigh..

anyone can advise on this?

If I remember correctly, the CE does not contain the command line compiler. The GetIt-Installation for JCL/JVCL requires that, so you can't use that.

Your best bet is to load the JEDI packages into the IDE and compile them there.

how do i load the JEDI package into IDE? open the pkg, compile and install from there?

If I remember correctly there is a project group for each Delphi version. You load that into the IDE, do a build all and then install all the designtime packages. Since every 2nd package is a designtime package, it is a lot of clicks, but you can leave out those which you don't use.

[Uwe Raabe 2064]

You can multi-select all design packages and install them at once.

thank you. will try it out on the 12.1 community edition.

have to get those files from github
