Error when installing JCL from GetIt

[PeterPanettone 157]

I have just installed Delphi 10.3.3 in a Parallels VM, and so far everything seems to be OK.

 

Now in GetIt, I have tried to install the JCL (Jedi Code Library), and there was this error message:

 

The code execution cannot continue because vcl260.bpl was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix the problem.

 

Anyone ever got this error message?

I get these periodically. I just close Delphi and reopen it.

That's what I have done. But on the next IDE restart I got this error:

 

 

Translated to English, this means:

System error. Code: 1400.

Invalid window handle.

 

BTW, do you also run the IDE in a VM?

Yes, I use Virtualbox with Win 7. But I haven’t seen this error

You mean, Win7 inside a VM or Win7 as a host for VirtualBox?

Meanwhile I tried to uninstall the not installed JCL, and I again got the error message about the not found rtl260.bpl:

How long is your PATH environment variable? Is there space enough for all paths?

[David Schwartz 426]

it's obviously not finding that BPL. I don't think it has much to do with the Jedi library, if anything.

 

It's complaining about file xyz. Why don't you show that file xyz is really there and that it's findable (via the path), instead of showing that something unrelated still complains when you do something that is trying to access file xyz?

I have installed several different things now from GetIt (libraries, components, etc.) without problems and compiled code without problems. So it seems logical that the problem has something to do with the JCL installer.

460 chars.

And path to rtl260.bpl is included in it?

The installer is not the library. FWIW, I installed all 3 Jedi libs recently and have had no problems.

GetIt, I just don't get it. Surely you are better off pulling from the repo?

You are a LUCKY MAN!

just run it from your DELPHI iDE AFTER ADDING LIBRARY PATH

..\jcl\lib\d27\win32

..\jcl\source\include

..\jvcl\lib\d27\win32

..\jvcl\common

..\jvcl\resources

Remark:

please use download link from repo using Github desktop 

i hope this steps will be helfull for

During my install of the library I noticed that a destination path in the installer was suddenly pointing to a "Y:" disk that was not even mounted on my machine..
