Library path problem on IDE

[Philip Vivier 0]

When I click

Tools->Options->Language->Delphi->Library -> [...] button, the whole system hangs. Does not matter on which [...] button I click.

I need to stop Delphi every time with task manager.

 

I am using windows 11 and Delphi 1.2.

You can select and copy the path from the edit field and paste it into Notepad to check it for invalid characters or nonexistent pathes, perhaps that reveals a problem.

Delphi version 1 had no FMX and would probably not run under Windows 11 at all. (16bit)

for sure, he use 11.2

 

try run the IDE as ADMIN or with "Compatibility XXXXX" ->rightclick on BDS.exe and add your  compatibility options!!!

Sorry yes Delphi 11.2. And many thanks. All the default paths to my user directory do not exists. I take it out and it works perfectly. Thank you again. I should have thought of it.
