12.3 April Patch 1.0 failed to install

[Tom F 85]

I got this message when installing the April Patch 1.0:

"RAD Studio found some failed deferred Getlt packages. You can revise the list of packages that failed in the Getlt Packages dialog box, and decide to cancel them or try to process"

I don't see any "list of packages that failed in the GetIt Packages dialog box."  

I'd like to get this installed rather than ignoring it.

Below is my current Help > About screen.  It says Update 3 has been installed.  Is that April Patch 1.0?!

No, this is the note about the April Patch.

Take care that this is showed ONLY IF YOU INSTALL the patch with GETIT.

@DelphiUdIT

 

Thanks for posting your answer to my question about installing the patch.  You said,

"No, this is the note about the April Patch.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure I understand your answer.  Are you saying the Help screen says that the patch *is* installed???  And if that's true, then can I safely click "Ignore Patch on the screen below?



In your second sentence, are you saying that the problem I'm having only occurs if I install the patch with GetIt?  Of course, I've already done that, so I'm not sure what I can do now.

Thanks again for your help.

I don't know about your issue (I have not any solution).

 

I don't know if you have installed the patch or not, 'cause the note about the patch is present in the about box only if you install it form GETIT.

But you can click "Ignore Patch", this only take away the advertise from Welcome Screen, you can always choose to install selecting the patch form the list.

>> But you can click "Ignore Patch", this only take away the advertise from Welcome Screen, you can always choose to install selecting the patch form the list.

The point of my original post is that I have no idea if the patch was successfully installed and if it wasn't, how to install it.  THAT'S the question I'm asking here. I appreciate your trying to help and understand now that you do not know the answer. Hopefully someone else will have the answer.

Have a look at the files replaces. If the information given in the About Box is a result of the install via GetIt solely, assume/rely that the installation of the patch worked once the release information  you provided shows up. The whole installation process from the point in time the backup has been created to finishing the installation procedure takes too long for no files copied. That's my experience. In the end there must be a change concerning date created and/or different file sizes compared to the files in the backup directory. I think EMB should mention next time, that this information is missing in case of a manual install in order to avoid confusion.

 

I'm assuming you run the script supplied with the update and not just copy the new files.

Thanks, Michael!  It's sad situation that one would have to reverse engineer the installer results to try to determine what happened.
