Installation problem with Evaluation Download

1. offizieller Beitrag

    I've downloaded the DelphiXE evaluation version.

    When I try to install the BPL, I get the following:

    [MakeDir Error] Unable to create directory "S:\S\WPT5\VCL\DelphiXE\". Could not find a part of the path 'S:\S\WPT5\VCL\DelphiXE\'.

    TIA,

    John

    Thanks Julian.

    I changed the DCP and BPL output directories to : $(BDSCOMMONDIR)\Dcp and $(BDSCOMMONDIR)\BPL. I then tried simply changing the paths to known good directories and got the same result.

    Then when trying to install I still get 3 instances of:
    [MakeDir Error] Unable to create directory "S:\S\WPT5\VCL\DelphiXE\". Could not find a part of the path 'S:\S\WPT5\VCL\DelphiXE\'.

    Sorry for the problems.

    John

    Thanks Julian.

    Unfortunately, I now get the following error when I try to install the BPL:

    [DCC Fatal Error] WPDefActions.pas(1391): F2039 Could not create output file 'WPDefActions.dcu'

    Am I missing something simple?

    Thanks,

    John

    Julian,

    Any chance that the link for the version you sent me is for XE2?
    The reason I ask is that it appears that way in the dcc line:

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\WPTools\XE";"c:\program files (x86)\embarcadero\rad
    studio\8.0\RBuilder\Lib" -K00400000 --description:"WPTools for Delphi XE2 - WPCubed GmbH" -NB"C:\Users\Public\Documents\RAD Studio\8.0\Dcp"
    -NH"C:\Users\Public\Documents\RAD Studio\8.0\hpp" WPTools6_XE2.dpk

    Thanks again.

    Julian,
    Thanks once again.

    I've tried your suggestion, and I've seen this problem before and know it is a simple fix- I think. BUT, I can't recall how to fix it. Obviously its some sort of path dilemma.

    Thanks for any additional hints you can provide. I want to place an order, (BTW- I own an older license to WP Tools back in the days when it was shipped on floppies ;) )

    Anyway here is the error: [DCC Fatal Error] WPTools_Reg.pas(69): F1026 File not found: 'DesignIntf.dcu'

    Julian,

    Still getting all kinds of path errors, or errors like the following;
    [DCC Fatal Error] WPDBEval.pas(288): F2039 Could not create output file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\WPTools\XE\WPDBEval.dcu'

    I'm not having any other issues with DelphiXE and other 3rd party libraries.

    Does the purchased product install differently? Should I just go ahead and purchase or is there something wrong with the evaluation installation?

    Thanks again.

    Hi,

    The purchased version does not have such problems since it includes the source files (Standard except for WPRTEDefs and WPRTEPaint).

    Please check the first 2 pages on the project property if there are forgotten output paths.

    The problem
    Could not create output file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\WPTools\XE\WPDBEval.dcu'

    Is probably caused because WPTools was installed in a protected directory which is not writable.

    Julian

    Julian,

    BINGO!

    Thanks so much.

    For some reason, that directory was protected. None of the other 3rd party tools did this, so, I was thrown off. I simply changed the rights on that directory.

    Looks like everything installed perfectly.

    Thanks again.
