Delphi Community Edition

[Antony 0]

I have Delphi 10.2 berlin on my PC. Missed out on the Android/iOS/Linux version by 0.1 release.

I have downloaded Delphi Community 12.1 Athens but on installation the options for Android, iOS and Linux are 'greyed out'.

The main reason for looking at the newer Delphi was basically for Android support and see how it functioned.

In addition to Delphi Berlin Pro, I also have the full Devexpress VCL and Devart Unidac Software packages (of the same vintage) and really don't need the newer versions of Delphi just for Windows apps. - a fairly expensive combo.

 

Is it 'standard' for Delphi Community not to allow Android/iOS/Linux ability or is it because I already have Delphi (paid) installed?

 

Thanks.

No.  Even the feature matrix says it should be enabled for CE.

No.  You have completely separate major releases, so they should coexist fine.

Hi Remy,

Thanks for your reply.

I've tried previously a year or more ago and probably before that too so I tried yet again in case I'd done something wrong.

 I just ran the installer gain  with the same problem and have just run the installer yet again with no luck as per the following image:

 

File Name: RADStudio_12_1_esd_61_7529b.exe

 

Only Windows and Mac Os are selectable (actually they come up as default selections)

I may have run a Delphi trial also, but perhaps 5 years or more ago. Might be there's some remnants from a previous version that's 'upsetting' the installer? 

Any suggestions?

The problem is perhaps linked to the license activation and a conflict with the Berlin license (even if it should not).

 

Check in the LicenseManager what is registered and remove all unnecessary licenses (including the CE license). Uninstall the CE version, reboot and try a new installation.

I was in a similar situation, with Berlin 10.1 installed. When I installed CE 11.3 it was missing the option to install for other platforms, only Windows 32bit and 64bit. I messaged Marco Cantu who looked into it, and said this was by design. If a licenced copy exists on the same system then the CE versions will not allow installation of the other platforms. When I installed the CE version in a clean VM those platforms were available.

 

Edit to add: Mac OS was also available with Berlin installed, as well as Windows; so as per the OP Android, IOS and Linux are not.

 

More edit: I've now had a chance to review my correspondence with Marco Cantu and he did not say this was "by design", I didn't mean to misrepresent his comments. Rather, he informed me that this was a licence conflict. My experience goes back to installing CE 10.4, which is when I wrote to Marco. Our correspondence ended then as there was no fix offered, just " we have seen similar scenarios ".

Thanks for the suggestion. uninstalled' the installer setup, removed the CE license via Delphi Tokyo 10.2 then tried installing CE from the start.

No joy.

Removed Delphi CE via the control panel, removed licence via Tokyo, reinstalled. Same problem.

 

I'll try a VM as Nigel suggested at some point.

I'll give the VM a bash at some time. Right now I am just 'cleaning up' my current SSD, whilst awaiting all the components for a new desktop I'm putting together, before I clone to the SSD to the new M.2 SSD.

Thanks for your help!
