C++ Builder 10.4 (free version) installation fails: CReateProcess ErrorCode 2

[LordTde 0]

Hello you all,

Trying to install the free version of C++ Builder 10.4, the installation process raises an error.  It can't find bds.exe to run it.
Ant ideas ?
I downloaded it directly from Embarcadero.
Thanks for your help

First you'll have to wait for those who speak French to understand what the message is

CreateProcess(..) returned a 2 which is ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND.

 

Does the file exist at all?

If not, have you simply tried reinstalling?

 

I remember that Embarcaderos setups delegate installation to sub processes which are often blocked by Windows ransomware protection. As far as I recall, I had to completely disable Windows ransomware protection for the setup to even complete.

No, the file bds.exe doesn't exist where specified.
I tried several times to reinstall, but always the same problem.  I also redownloaded the file from Embarcadero.
My ransomware protection is off.

It means :

Unable to run the file

C:\Program Files(x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\21.0\bds.exe

 

CreateProcess failed : errorcode 2

The specified file is not found.

These problems have been around for a long time.
Maybe you can find solutions here:

There's no solution there, the status is still "Open" and Resolution "Unresolved"...

I found the problem: Otacle VirtualBox had a lot of network cards that caused the failure.  Now another issue: the license server can't be reached...  If I click on "Connection problems ?..." it doesn't work either.  It telles me the server cannot be reached...

Good to mention that you are using Oracle Virtual Box. I see no reason for this to prevent you from installing community edition (I can confirm that the full version of RAD Studio does install and run ok in Oracle Virtual Box). Can you reach the internet from within your virtual box (ie open web sites with a browser) ?
