Currently, the install decompresses into the Shared Application directory on your system - which on many systems is the C:\. 1gb should be adequate, though often your system is using additional space for other file caching so 2gb would be much better.

To help solve this - put CodeGearRADStudio2007setup.exe on the D: or X: and run it from there. Files will be downloaded to that drive instead of C:, and the 1gb should be adequate for the decompression. If you’ve already downloaded the files, you can safely copy/move them to another directory (if they were on C:) and run from X: or D: instead.

hope that helps.

I’m not sure if your blog is right place for posting such questions, but I suppose that I can get answer faster than over official ways. Our company is going to buy RAD Studio 2007. So, today I have downloaded small file "CodeGearRADStudio2007setup.exe", which should download all other files and install trial version for me. I started this file, choose it to install everything. Then most interesting has started: I haven’t enough room for installation on C disk (where Windows XP SP2 is installed), so I set all paths to D disk (it has about 7G free and RAD Studio requires 2G). After that installer asked for place where it can save downloaded files, so I pointed him to my X disk, which has about 250G free. After that installer said:
—————————
Not Enough Space
—————————
Not enough disk space to install this product.
—————————
ОК
—————————
When I pressed OK everything has closed without my permission. So I didn’t guess: isn’t 250G isn’t enough to download RAD Studio? Or 7G isn’t enough to install RAD Studio? Or 1G free space on C drive isn’t enough for something else included which I don’t ask about?

QC bug #52205

Please fix the docs, Codegear.

It got fixed; not sure how, but it did. The problem occurred when RAD Studio started, trying to get access to a library stored on a volume that was not mounted. On the next restart of RAD Studio, the whole IDE would crash. Here is something that would make the experience a lot smoother (and easier for you to resolve): having a command-line switch that would log each operation (and group of operations) as it is about to take place, and log which have been completed. This way, it would be trivial to find out at which step the crash occurred.

This location has the list of IDE packages that are loaded:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Borland\BDS\5.0\Known IDE Packages

What is the error? First time I’ve heard this one. Does deleting/removing the refactoride100.bpl package cause the error to go away?

Or is it the default project you are loading, causing the error since it had modeling enabled?

Other settings are found in the application settings directory, similar to this:

C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Borland\BDS\5.0

This location is what you should expect on XP, let me know if you have Vista or something else. Delete the 5.0 directory and subdirectories (or rename/move - that might be more ideal, since you could compare files to find out what change or difference causes the problem. Or just send them to me. )

Hope that helps.

Create a Win32 VCL
Drop TLabel
Right-click the TLabel
Click the form
IDE freezes

Delphi 2006 for Win32 was also affected by this bug.

"Delphi has come back!"… … … NOT!!!

Waaaaa!!!

There is a lot still missing. It isn’t just examples. Lots of "this is foo of class bar" placeholders still need to be filled with meaningful content.

My two latest QC documentation bugs: #51775 regarding TPadding, and #52848 regarding TThread.

I also have an old issue regarding incorrect TIBQuery documentation. QC #23424. The doc says to call Prepare before executing a query. This is redundant with all IBExpress components.

It was already done: See QC #53080 for Failure of IDE to restore when minimized.
