Error on loading data from the server getit-104.embarcadero.com

[Didier Cabalé 3]

[using Delphi 10.4 update1 + Windows7 on VirtualBox]

Preamble: I know that Windows7 is not officially supported by Delphi 10.4. Though, the below problem was not existing in the same environment (Delphi +Windows7), some months ago.

 

Steps to reproduce:

1. open Delphi 10.4 update1

2. from the IDE, open GetIt package Manager

3. state that "the Embarcadero GetIt server could not be reached", "Error on loading data from the server getit-104.embarcadero.com"

 

Note that:

1. the Embarcadero GetIt server could currently be pinged.

2. the Embarcadero GetIt server could be accessible previously (some months ago)

 

My questions are:

1. Has something been changed on the Embarcadero server side?

2. Can someone state the same issue, in the same conditions?

Known issue (there are several discussion threads on this forum about it).  That server was shutdown 2 months ago.  Change GetIt's configuration to use  https://getit.embarcadero.com instead of https://getit-104.embarcadero.com, see this discussion for how to do that:

Where? There is no GetIt server configuration in Options.

Is there a way to make GetIt work again in Delphi 12?

Did you read the discussion I linked to earlier?  You would have to modify the Registry directly.  However...

At the moment, not the online version, no.  Several key systems, including GetIt, are completely down (and have been for over a week now!) due to a hardware outage:

If you really need access to GetIt right now, the best you could do is put GetIt into offline mode and let it work with its local cache/ISO, including any local packages you install into it manually.
