Steema Central

Hello,
There is a problem with Delphi 2010 updates and TeeChart 8 Pro. Update 4 from Delphi 2010 is allays looking for two TeeChart Standard files tee8140.bpl and dcltee8140.bpl. This error is described in http://qc.embarcadero.com/wc/qcmain.aspx?d=80416. Mr. Tomohiro Takahashi from Embacadero QualityCentral tolled me that updates for Delphi 2010 from Embacadero are functioning only if TeeChart Standard is installed. I think this has to redesign by Embacadero. Can you urge the Empacadero people to support in Delphi 2010 updates also for TeeChart Pro?

Thank you very much

So, if you try to apply Update, you need to restore original install stuff in advance...

I don't think that's the case. Or at least, not what I experienced here. What I found is that installing RAD Studio 2010 updates restores original components. Therefore TeeChart v8 Std. was installed and I had to install Pro version again. It would be nice that updates don't remove installed components though.

We recommend to backup the packages prior to removing them in case original setup needs to be restored. Moreover, TeeChart installer prompts the user if packages need to be backuped and creates a backup location for them, by default being "C:\Program Files\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\7.0\lib\Backup_TeeChart". *.bpl files are at "C:\WINDOWS\system32".

Can you urge the Empacadero people to support in Delphi 2010 updates also for TeeChart Pro?

I'll speak with the person in charge of this area to see what can be done.
