Installing in Delphi XE Fails...

I downloaded the most recent build - and tried to install it in Delphi XE.

1. MINOR - Windows 7. The components install into the Program Files directory - which cause a number of issues - like when you try to open the projecs to rebuild the components - users ar denied access to change files in those directories...
So I uninstalle - and then re-installed into my own direcory

2. When I run the recompile tool - It runs - but then provides an error...

Cannot copy file c:\..\Compiled\Delphi15\System\Glut32.dll to c:\Windows\System32\Glut32.dll Error code 5 Access is denied

I have Windows 7 - but my userid should be an administrator...
I ended up having to run the recompile tool as Administrator. To get it to run without errors.

Thoughts?

Hi Bradley,

As per what your indications problems are solved running either the installer or TeeRecompile with administrative privileges, aren't they? I did the tests here using Windows 7 with an administrator user and didn't have any of those problems. The user you used didn't was not an administrator account?

Hi - the userid was an admin account.
But as you pointed out - "Run as Admin" was the solution.

Still something you might want to note during the install - as you are defaulting all files to c:\Program Files\etc...
That way others uses won't have to Install - run into issues - uninstall - then reinstall as Admin.

Hi Bradley,

As far as I know non-admin accounts are not allowed to install programs, are they? Also, during the installation process you are prompted to choose where you want to install TeeChart.
