Bungled up component install

[RaelB 4]

I had installed a number of components into Delphi  10.2 (Tokyo). One such being Graphics32 which has 2 packages: GR32_R, GR32_D (in Folder Source\Packages\RX2). I subsequently installed the packages from Folder RX3 into Delphi 10.3 Rio. I did a similar thing for a few other components. Then when I tried to open 10.2 again, I got a "runtime error 236", and after pressing "OK", (well it's not really OK, but they don't give me any other choice, do they?) the IDE quits/crashes. Anyway, so I uninstalled some of the other components from 10.2 that I had also installed into 10.3 or simply deleted the bpl files from the output directory, and eventually the IDE now loads without a problem. So now I am trying to install Graphics32 into 10.2 again. Beforehand I have deleted all related bpl/dcp files from the computer (using "everything" (voidtools.com) to locate them). The GR32_R package compiles without problem. Then I try to install GR32_D, and I get this error:

As far as I know Delphi 10.2 is vcl250/rtl250, and 10.3 is rtl260, so what does it mean that the call stack is showing both rtl250 and rtl260?

It looks like you are in installing a 10.3 package into 10.2. The 10.3 package references rtl260, which makes the Tokyo IDE crash.

 

Usually these packages should have a compiler version specific suffix (like 250 or 260), but it seems the GR32 packages are missing this LIBSUFFIX setting.

my tip:

• BEFORE any install (of components with not installers), ALWAYS open the "Project - Options" to verify the definitons for each items!
  • DONT TRUST ALL SUITE NOT COMMERCIAL or COMMERCIAL! 😂
  • If necessary, do your changes! I like change the Target folders
• To uninstall the components/packages in your IDE do it:
  • 1st use "Component" menu to uninstall the Packages (or same by using (Uninstall) Project Manager if your packages is opened on IDE)
  • 2nd, close your IDE and open Registry and look in:  (here 20.0 is my RAD Studio 10.3.3 Rio) ok?
    • Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Embarcadero\BDS\20.0\Known IDE Packages --> by IDE
    • Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Embarcadero\BDS\20.0\Known Packages --> user add-on
      • here, delete the line of your addon BPL (your components with problem), for example: my FastReport crash all time, then, go to hell baby!
    • this keys is inherited from "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Embarcadero\BDS\20.0" when the RAD is installed!
  • 3rd, now search in your disk for all residual files, like: dcu, bpl, etc... and delete it! 
    • Dont forghet look at "Public\...\Embarcadero\BPL and DCP etc..."
• Now, if you IDE dont run as expected, then, you need a "clean reinstall" it

@Uwe and @emailx45, thanks for the tips. I did manage to come right eventually.

 

There were some errant bpl's in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\20.0\Bpl. Once they were deleted, things started making more sense. Not sure why they were affecting Tokyo installation though.

 

I uninstalled and re-installed a number of components, and also looked through the registry and found a couple of strange entries where some components where referencing a mix of Tokyo and Rio bpl's. (I did a search for rtl260) Not sure how that happened. Maybe due to a custom util that I use 🙂
