problem when installing in delphi community edition

created 3 years ago (modified 3 years ago)

The installer for some reason recognizes the IDE as TRIAL although it is properly registered and with this it does not perform the installation of the components.

Hello Isaac,

The point is that the Trial and Community IDE versions are almost the same in the context of installing third-party controls. Neither of them contains the fully functional command line compiler file (dcc32.exe). So, that message is correct. Embarcadero removed the complete version of their command line compiler file from the latests versions of their "Community Edition" IDEs. I mean, the file itself exists, but it reports the "This version of the product does not support command line compiling" error when you try to use it. Please check if this is what happens when you run the dcc32.exe file in your IDE.
As a result, our controls cannot be automatically installed since our Installer uses that compiler to build packages on your machine. Only the Trial version of our controls can be automatically installed with that limited IDE as that version has pre-compiled packages.
The most appropriate solution I see is to get a fully functional command line compiler file somehow. Perhaps, you can e-mail Embarcadero and ask for that file.

      I understood, and there is some manual or map for me to do this compilation manually inside the IDE, so I know the installation sequence of the components.

        The dependencies between packages are so complex that I cannot guarantee that they can be manually compiled and installed. If you decide to go that way, take a look at the following threads:
