TMS VCL UI Pack Installation Question

[vmishka 0]

I have Delphi 12 Community Edition installed.

 

I registered for a TMS Software VCL UI Pack Academic Edition. The downloaded zip file unzips to a setup.exe.

 

When I start the TMS Installer (setup.exe), I immediately get a message from "Setup": "Delphi/C++Builder not found. Do you really want to install the components for Delphi/C++Builder?"

 

If Delphi is running when I start the installer, the installer recognizes that Delphi is running and says to close it.

 

How should I proceed? Is there something missing in the Delphi installation that the installer doesn't find it?

 

I cannot find anything on the TMS Software site that covers this "error."

 

Thank you for any help.

You might want to post on the TMS forums.

Thank you. I did post it on their forum as well. TMS doesn't monitor academic license posts. So far, I haven't received any reply from there.

When did you post it? It can take several days, from my experience.

I posted it on the TMS forum at the same time that I posted it here. There, it has two views in 2 hours and no responses.

In case anyone else runs into this problem, I contacted TMS support directly. Their academic products do NOT work on Delphi 12 Community Edition, only Delphi 11. they will get around to fixing that eventually. Not at all satisfactory, but that is the way it is.

It is on our todolist to change our academic versions to Delphi 12.
We will blog about it when this is ready.
