Is Embarcadero a jigsaw puzzle game?

Recommended Posts

I have Delphi Pro 10.3.1 with an active subscription. Since today is Sunday, I decided this could be a good day to upgrade my Delphi to the current version 10.3.2.

 

Unfortunately, I discovered that the Delphi IDE About dialog does not have an Update/Upgrade button.

 

So I visited the Embarcadero website and somehow found this page: maintenance.embarcadero.com

 

In the Login form, I entered all the credentials one after the other I got from Idera/Embarcadero in the course of the years.

 

None of them worked.

 

Since there was a support link on the page I wasted a support case to ask for the credentials to use the maintenance.embarcadero.com service and I also asked for the download location of the Delphi 10.3.2 Installation ISO file.

 

The answer came in a surprisingly short time. But it did not contain the desired download location but only a never-before-seen access-key to use the maintenance.embarcadero.com service.

 

So with this access-key, I logged into the maintenance.embarcadero.com service page:

Please note that the upgrade product was not the one I had requested (Delphi Pro 10.3.2) but Delphi XE8 Enterprise (a previously expired subscription). Anyway, I clicked the "Send Email" button and got an email containing a link: "Download your software here".

 

After having clicked the link I arrived at a page which contained these download links:

But since these are not the download links I requested:

 

HOW CAN I SOLVE THIS JIGSAW PUZZLE GAME? (Without wasting another support case) (Or is this an Internet scavenger hunt?)

 

UPDATE:

 

After searching with Google, I only found the WebInstaller download: ID: 30880, RAD Studio, Delphi, C++Builder 10.3.2 Web Install

 

After a lot more searching I found this: ID: 30883, RAD Studio, Delphi, C++Builder 10.3.2 ISO, but it contains both Delphi and C++ and it is a 7 GB download.

Since I need only Delphi: Isn't there an ISO download containing only Delphi without C++ ?

Installation support is free.

Does anybody know the location for the DELPHI ISO download? (Without C++). I seem to remember that previous versions had this opportunity.

I am happy to hear that. But the support person has sent me the wrong information.

 

Is there installation support at Embarcadero which is able to send requested correct information?

https://www.embarcadero.com/support you should choose Installation support. What bothers me now, is that as far as I can remember at that page it was clearly marked that installation support was free. Now it does not say that. I will have to check through other channels.

Only if you use the web installer.

The ISO installer has always contained the Delphi and C++ Builder Installers in one.

Just confirmed by @Marco Cantu installation support is free if you have active subscription.

Thanks for the information. But the email I got di not tell me whether this was installation support or not. So I rather have to assume it was not installation support.
