Is possible to examine the library-> search path when IDE not start?

[alogrep 0]

Hi. Where is the tools->library->search path  stored? Is it possible to examine it outside the IDE (mine does not start)?

all platforms store it here on Registry:

Quote

User setup - when IDE run first-time it create this keys

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Embarcadero

     ....\BDS\20.0\Library   <--- Search Path for each platform and more

All developer config and components install is in here!

 

Quote

Installer setup - when o RAD Studio is installed the default values is stored here

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Embarcadero

    ....\BDS\20.0\Library

Thanks. But registry (windows 7) does not have the "library" entry. In any case I want to  examin the FILE where the library information si stored. The file, not the registry. If at least someone knows the file name, i can look for it.

Why do you think this information is stored in two different places?

• First, HE does not say what your IDE is!
  • let's exercise a moment of scrying and enter the questioner's mind, vascularize his neurons and, if possible, through his eyes, visualize his computer screen, if connected, and check which IDE he is using right now ... hummmmmmmmm       
• Second, HE said that RAD/Delphi/Whaever... dont store its key on Registry
• then, before anyother to say...
  • Delphi was BORLAND , just change EMBARCADERO por BORLAND !
    • HKCU \ Software \ Borland \ Delphi (ou BDS) \ <versão>

 

BETTER ADVICE: uninstall it abd re-install your IDE!

I guess this is the problem then: mising libary entries in my registry.

Conclusion: RE-INSTALL IT for solve and avoid any other problem!

You have to start the IDE at least once to get the entries for HKCU. Otherwise you have to look into HKLM.

Correct @Uwe Raabe  

 

in case, he already did it

What use is knowing that if your IDE won't start? Isn't the IDE not starting something of a bigger problem?

To be in ignorance would be worse!

C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\20.0\bin

what error(s) does clicking on bds.exe show in above directory.   I put a bds.exe on win 7  and its error message  "xxx.bpl missing...Try reinstalling the program"

 

Walk up the error messages displayed fixing the errors or simply reinstall.
