Delphi 12.2 Patch 1

Recommended Posts

It is quite a number while most of us expected a fix for RSS-1944 only.

this is not sustainable as a process to get updates to the end users. 

I just spent 2 days of work updating our buildmachine from11.x to 12.2.

 

Can start over now?

Totally agree. So instead of downloading a larger patch I have to download a 7Gb iso and then have to re-install most of my components.

According to the release announcement, you shouldn't have to reinstall any installed components, only GetIt packages.

My experience today is that if the Library installs or updates by building its .bpl, .dcp & .dcu files than they need to be rebuilt with D12.2 p1.

This I suspect is due to the binary incompatability that occurred with D12.2.  Now rectified.

Make sure to uninstall the Parnassus plugins before installing the patch.

And it came out just short after my subscription expired...

I downloaded the patch from getit. When I start it, it tells me that it will uninstall 12.2 (I cancelled that). I assume that after it uninstalls 12.2, the installer will tell me that it cant install the patch because my subscription is expired, and I might end up with no more delphi installation. Am I right?

You can test this by doing a fresh install in a vanilla VM.

 

Nevertheless that is an interesting question. Usually patches seemed to be free for existing installations, but as this is an inline release you might be right.

I would try that if I could install it. I tried installing my registered 12.2 and it popup the registration wizard and when I enter my EDN login and serial, I only get an error that I have to enter a valid serial number in order to install Delphi 12.2.

It looks like once the license is expired, I cant even install older Delphi versions. That sucks! I paid for a product which I cannot install, funny.

Besides the problems every update of RAD Studio has ( deinstallation of GetIt packages without removal from the IDE -> IDE not restarting after update) this patch delivers an incompatible openapi interface!

Several plugins/component libaries cannot be used without an update from the vendor/developer! This is NoGo!

Seems there is no quality control at all!

That is not true, May be the BPLs are compatible with old version (so the design component are OK), but the DCU are not. Try to compile a project, the new version say that some DCU (64 bit) use a different "System.xxx.xxx" version and of course they don't link together.

I must recompile, and for "security", rebuild all components (Design and Runtime).

May be you have only expired the number of installation allowed (I think they are 3). Send an e-mail to customer service in Embarcadero and ask to higher that.

IIRC that eMail should go to sales not support.

May be I'm wrong, but the e-mail should go to support if you have an active subsricription otherwise sales ... I undesrtood weird ? In the past I asked to support to bump the number.

I'm unsure, because I never needed the bump myself

I have not removed parnassus plugins

Condolences...roll back your VM to before and remove Parnassus and forget about them they are not worth the hassle.

 

Edit: But it still might be salvageable just in case you don't use that particular best practice.... I'm sifting through the heaps of parnassus related stuff.

Several packages would not load e.g. Devex, Had to reinstall, UniDac & Eureka log resimstalling does not help.
