Hi,

I tried to install and got a "TeeCalc.exe Application error".

"The exception unknown software exception (0xe0434352)
occurred in the application at location 0x00007FFB13E93FA9."

Thanks,

Bill

Hello Bill,

What exact installer did you run? I see you own a license of TeeChart Pro with sources so I tried both the Pro binary (TeeChartVCLFMX-2022.34.exe) and the Pro with sources (TeeChartVCLFMXSOURCE-2022.34.exe) without errors.

I'm running TeeChartVCLFMX-2022.34.exe. I got past the exception. Our IT folks had to do some magic. Now the installer hangs up at downloading files. My internet connection is fine, though I am on a VPN. How do I fix this?

Hello,

Our IT folks had to do some magic

It would be interesting if we could know what they found.

Now the installer hangs up at downloading files. My internet connection is fine, though I am on a VPN. How do I fix this?

Try the Offline installer. You can download the offline trial installer from the downloads page. The trial installer is the same than the registered one so don't worry for that. Just register it when asked.

[fabnavigator]

Good idea. I'll try that one. I except it to work.

Our IT department had to disable FIPS on my laptop to fix the exception during the install.

I downloaded the offline version and tried to install it. At the end it asked me for the folder with the TeeChart sources. Of course I didn't have one so I had to cancel out of that dialog. The installer then went into an uninstall mode, but eventually finished. It was supposed to add TeeChart Pro into my Delphi 11 IDE, but did not do that.

I have a number of .BPL files in this folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steema Software\Steema TeeChart Pro VCL FMX 2022.34\Delphi28\Delphi28.win32\Bin"

Why is the folder Delphi28?

My Delphi 11 is installed in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\22.0".

Also, how do I get the source code that I paid for?

Hello,

I downloaded the offline version and tried to install it. At the end it asked me for the folder with the TeeChart sources. Of course I didn't have one

Once the source code installer finishes, the sources folder should be in the path you chose in the installer. Ie, by default:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steema Software\Steema TeeChart Pro VCL FMX Source Code 2022.34\Source

Then, the source code installer launches TeeRecompile utility. Is this the moment you meant above? Did you check the folder wasn't present? It should be.

so I had to cancel out of that dialog. The installer then went into an uninstall mode, but eventually finished. It was supposed to add TeeChart Pro into my Delphi 11 IDE, but did not do that.

If you cancel the installation, I'd expect it to revert the process done until that moment so the uninstall looks reasonable to me.

I have a number of .BPL files in this folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steema Software\Steema TeeChart Pro VCL FMX 2022.34\Delphi28\Delphi28.win32\Bin"

This sounds as the binary installer being installed, not the source code version. Note you can have several TeeChart installations in the same machine, but only one set of components can be installed in the same IDE without causing collisions.
There's no problem on having both the binary and the source code versions installed at the same machine if you wish. By default it would end with these two folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steema Software\Steema TeeChart Pro VCL FMX Source Code 2022.34
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steema Software\Steema TeeChart Pro VCL FMX 2022.34

Then, you could change between them just by running TeeInstall from either:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steema Software\Steema TeeChart Pro VCL FMX Source Code 2022.34\Compiled\Delphi28.win32\TeeInstall.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steema Software\Steema TeeChart Pro VCL FMX 2022.34\Delphi28\TeeInstall.exe

Why is the folder Delphi28?

"28" is RAD Studio 11 Alexandria's Product Version. We separate packages in folders for each supported IDE and we use that Product Version number to identify them.

Also, how do I get the source code that I paid for?

I'd suggest you to try the source code installer again and make sure the "Source" folder is present when TeeRecompile utility launches. And don't cancel the installation.

The problem here is that there is no trial offline version of the source code. You only have a trial offline version for the binary files. If you recall you had me use the trial offline download because the normal download wasn't working for me. See previous posts in this thread.

Maybe you can add an offline source code version download somewhere for me?

[Yeray]

Hello,

Let me clarify. All the installers do an online activation (with TeeCalc).

Besides that, the regular binary is a small (about 22MB) installer which downloads additional files (for the selected IDEs) during the installation. Instead, the offline binary installer includes the files for all the supported IDEs so it doesn't need to download any additional files. But it still does the activation.

The source code installer doesn't include compiled packages for each IDE, which keeps its size small enough so we don't have to provide two versions. There's only an "offline" version, which still requires the online activation.

I understand now. I was able to get everything installed.

Thanks,

Bill

Great!

Several problems installing this version.

While installing, the "TeeChart Source Code Recompilation Tool" doesn't popup. So I had to activate the TeeRecompile.exe manually,..
Then the program installed everything, but not the Mac OSX64 packages. (a lot of "directory not found" errors.)


Now when I try to recompile my Delphi program, Windows 10 / Rad Studio V11, where TeeChart components are used it says:

"[dcc32 Fatal Error] VCLTee.TeeFunci.pas(22): F2613 Unit 'TeEngine' not found."

I tried the same on another PC, to see if the problems persist. This was a Windows 11 / RAD Studio 11 machine.
Same problems, but then it says

"[dcc32 Fatal Error] VCLTee.TeeGDIPlus.pas(46): F2613 Unit 'TeCanvas' not found."

Any help would be appreciated, now I'm stuck on development

I've solved the problem in my previous post.

(The MAC OS packages still don't compile, but I don't need them right now.)

Never mind,

Thanks for the feedback,

We have been running the installer to check for problems,
