Problem downloading GetIt package from GitHub

[Jud 1]

I have Delphi 10.4.1.  I've used GetIt to download patches (worked very well).  Now I'm trying to download a package from GetHub.  I have a GitHub account.  When I try to use GetIt to install a package, I get the message:

 

Loading EULAS...

 (X) Cannot load data from the server: "RADStudio.josn" metadata file does not exist.

(X) Setup cannot continue due to a corrupted installation file

(I) - A problem occurred during the process.

 

Is there something that I'm not doing correctly, or haven't done?

Try this:

 

pushd \Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\21.0\bin
rsvars.bat
GetItCmd.exe -c=useonline
bds.exe

Is that a typo?  Shouldn't it be "json" instead of "josn"?

That did it!  Does this has to be done only once?

And, yes, a typo - I couldn't copy and paste.

I'm amazed this problem is not fixed yet. 

 

It happens if you install a new release from an ISO image or DVD which used to be a separate installer, but now uses GetIt in offline mode pointing to a massive file locally. 

 

This all works fine, except once it completes GetIt continues to look in that massive file for all the components you now need to re-install instead of looking online. 

 

The important line is 'GetItCmd.exe -c=useonline' which is used once.

Well, several things did get fixed in 10.4.1.   I had so many problems with 10.4 that I went back to 10.3.3.  Now I'm on 10.4.1.

@Jud My Getit does not work on D10.2.3 it shows error.

Is what you showed will work here in my case ?

What exactly the above mean?

If GetIt says it's trying to open a file on your local PC, that will be fixed by changing to online mode.  It should be intelligent enough to recognise that error on it's and use online mode.

Someone above gave me some command-line stuff that fixed my problem.  You could try it.
