Hi,

I am having a trouble installing latest package TeeChartVCLFMXSOURCE-2017.23.exe. Once installer compiles the code I start up Delphi XE 10.2.3 (Version 25.0.29899.2631) and I get this errors: I also get the same errors when I try to "manually" install TclTeePro925.dpk and DclFmxTeePro925.dpk. I am really upset since I always have some stupid issues with TeeChart installers.

Why can't you do your installer the normal way and read everything from install folder? What the hell are packets doing in Windows/System32? Thank you for wasting my time again and again.

Hello,

I've just reverified TeeChart Pro VCL/FMX v2017.23 with sources works fine for me in RAD Tokyo 10.2.3.
I'd suggest you to make sure you are running TeeRecompile/TeeInstall and IDE with high privileges "as administrador".

Thank you for your comments about the location of some of the TeeChart bpl files in the Windows System folder. This location is based on historical practice, it was the most effective way to provide pathing to the files on earlier IDE versions. Your comments are valid and we will review the positioning of them. Embarcadero still refer to system path here but the definition no longer requires use of Windows\System.

Please don't hesitate to let us know if you still find problems with it.

I spent entire yesterday trying to compile TeeChartVCLFMXSOURCE-2017.23 package and without any luck. The problem persists. I deleted all *tee*.bpl from all folders (trough wide system search), installed the TeeChartVCLFMXSOURCE-2017.23 package with administrator rights and no success there. I have executed RAD Studio as admin... and so forth, no change.

Then I simply downloaded TeeChartVCLFMX-2017.23 binary package and NOT surprisingly it works. Of course entire TeeChartVCLFMXSOURCE-2017.23 source package is completely useless since recompile does not work and source path inclusion raises too many errors.

Why is that done like it is, beats me. Makes not much sense but I remember that source recompilation worked in the past.

Everything was done on fresh install of RAD Studio 10.2.3 (Enterprise) from ISO file.

Hello,

Note we build the binary installers using a TeeRecompile almost identical to the one shipped with the source code version.
Also, we always test the installers in a few different machines to make sure they work in the most common environments.

You can give a try at the v2018.24 just published. Or we can schedule a remote session to control your machine and see if we can find the reason of the problem you are experiencing.

Note another way to use the sources would be to:
- Install the binary version to get the design time packages.
- Install the source code version and run TeeRecompile from the command prompt with the argument "generateunits:XX" to generate the VCL and FMX folders from the sources. Ie: - Open the IDE, clean the Library path from any reference to TeeChart installations and add a reference to the VCL and FMX folders just generated.
