When you have problems installing MMX Code Explorer

[Uwe Raabe 2187]

Since the announcement in the See What's Coming in RAD Studio 13 Florence webinar last Wednesday, where MMX Code Explorer was promoted as a replacement for the removed refactoring in Delphi, there have been more than 1200 downloads. With this number it is no surprise when some people encounter problems installing or using it. This is a short list of things that happened and hints how to avoid these problems. I expect this list to be extended over the next couple of days.

 

• Some people get a virus warning when downloading the zip file. This is the MD5 hash of MMX_Setup_16_0_8_59.zip to verify that your copy is the original one: c24ef7eb0d073a97541bd8e11494cdad
• Always use the recommended Install for me only option! The admin mode Install for all users is heavily broken and can lead to problems when uninstalling. If multiple users are sharing the same Delphi installation each one has to install its own copy of MMX Code Explorer.
• Don't set your Startup Desktop to <none>. While this worked in previous versions, the new V16 doesn't like it. The issue will be investigated.
