No TChart in IDE after deinstallation of Pro Evaluation

[Rolf Fankhauser]

Hi

I tested the Pro Evaluation version in XE5. After deinstallation of this version there is no TChart Standard component available anymore!
There is a directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\12.0\lib\Backup_TeeChart where all the files are backed up. It seems that this backup was created during installing of the Pro Evaluation version.

If I start the RAD Studio installer (option modify current installation) TeeChart is not disabled. So. what can I do to activate the standard version again?

Thanks!

Rolf

Hello Rolf,

Uninstalling the components should move the files from Backup_TeeChart folders to their original location. These are the files from the Lite/Standard version shipped with the IDE.
If this process ended with success, at this point the Backup_TeeChart folders should be empty. Otherwise, you have two options to let the IDE find the Lite/Standard components:

- Option 1: Move everything from the Backup_TeeChart folders one level up.
Here a list of the locations where you can find Backup_TeeChart folders (can be less depending on the platforms your IDE supports):

For Delphi:
$(BDS)\lib
$(BDS)\lib\obj

For C++Builder:
$(BDS)\include\windows\vcl
$(BDS)\include\windows\fmx
$(BDS)\include\osx\fmx
$(BDS)\include\ios\rtl
$(BDS)\include\ios\fmx

- Option 2: Add the Backup_TeeChart folder to the Library Path (for Delphi) and the Include Paths (for C++Builder).

Delphi Library path for all the platforms:
$(BDSLIB)\Backup_TeeChart\$(Platform)\release

Delphi Debug DCU path for all the platforms:
$(BDSLIB)\Backup_TeeChart\$(Platform)\debug

C++Builder Win32 and Win64 Include Paths:
$(BDSINCLUDE)\windows\vcl\Backup_TeeChart
$(BDSINCLUDE)\windows\fmx\Backup_TeeChart

C++Builder OSX Include Path:
$(BDSINCLUDE)\osx\fmx\Backup_TeeChart

C++Builder iOS Device 32 and 64bit Include Paths:
$(BDSINCLUDE)\ios\rtl\Backup_TeeChart
$(BDSINCLUDE)\ios\fmx\Backup_TeeChart

C++Builder Library Paths for all the platforms:
$(BDSLIB)\Backup_TeeChart\$(Platform)\release

Then, when the libraries are in place or the necessary paths are referenced, you only need to install the Lite/Standard components in the list of packages. To do it, open the "Component\Install Packages..." list, click the "Add..." button, and navigate and select the dcltee9XX0.bpl and the dclFMXtee9XX0.bpl packages from the list. Note the Lite/Standard packages shipped with the IDE end with a 0.

Hello Yeray

Many thanks for the prompt answer!!

I have chosen Option 1 (much copying because of the subfolder Debug and Release!)
and all is fine now

Kind regards, Rolf

Hello,

I have chosen Option 1 (much copying because of the subfolder Debug and Release!)

Since the folder structure is respected, you can just cut and paste all the folders one level up:
