Delphi 12.3 : no longer compiles to 64 bit!

[gioma 20]

Hello everyone,
today suddenly Delphi no longer compiles any project when I choose Windows 64-bit as target platform.

The error reported is the following:

 

[dcc64 Error] The specified task executable location "c:\program files (x86)\embarcadero\studio\23.0\bin\dcc64.exe" is invalid.

 

I searched in the Delphi configurations but I can't find where to set this parameter.

 

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

I searched for the exe and it is actually in this folder:

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\23.0\bin64\

In my installation there are two different executables with that name, one is in bin the other in bin64.

 

I guess the one in bin64 is the experimental 64 bit compiler while the one in bin is the regular 32 bit compiler (both for generating 64 bit output).

Same on my system 2 different exe files.

I copied the file from another PC to that folder, now everything works.
It's a mystery how that file was deleted, it wasn't even in the recycle bin!

Thanks everyone.

If I had to guess, I'd blame a virus scanner.

I thought about it, but I checked the antivirus log and there is no trace of any deletion action. mah!

Thank you!
