Steema Central

I have Delphi 8 patch 3 installed, no Visual Studio.NET.
Purchased a copy of TeeChart 7 for .NET last night,
downloaded the 2/14/2005 release, and saw an error about Toolbox during installation of TeeChart 7 for .NET.
Delphi 8 refuses to compile my licenses.licx to *.exe.licenses,
so when I turned to lc.exe of .NET Framework SDK 1.1,
I found this: (the licenses.licx was copiled from TeeChart one of licx files)
(sorry for the chinese exception message, it's telling something like "Failed to create an instance of Steema.TeeChart.Chart, and failed to authorize a valid license to Steema.TeeChart.Chart")

My mistake on the TeeChart version:
the version I purchased is TeeChart Pro .NET 1.0.

Hi Alec,

Yes, we are aware of this. There seems to be a problem in Delphi 8 IDE because it works in Delphi 2005. This error prevents TeeChart for .NET from being compiled.

We are working in a solution to this problem but don't expect to find one quickly.

Well, according to the exception with lc.exe (which is a license compiler come with .NET Framework, not come with Delphi 8/2005), I wonder if it is not the sake of Delphi 8...

I guess that TeeChart for .NET depending on something provided only by VS.NET 2003/Delphi 2005. Anyway, I got a quick solution with TeeChart ActiveX Pro 6.

My suggestion to test if this problem is solved, is install a copy of TeeChart for .NET on a machine with .NET Framework 1.1 SDK installed (no Delphi 8/2005, nor VS.NET 200x), gacutil -i *.dll (where *.dll are TeeChart assemblies), and lc /v some Licenses.licx files come with TeeChart for .NET. When the issue is solved, there should show no errors/exceptions on the console.

Thanks, and hope there will come a solution soon.

Hello,

Thanks for the information. We are investigating the problem. In the meantime please let me suggest 2 options so that you can continue to use TeeChart:

- Please use the registration utility placed on the customer download page to install (and hence confirm) that the registry license key is correctly installed on your pc.

if that still doesn't resolve the issue:

- Please install the prior version of TeeChart NET (also linked on the customer download page), dated as November 2004. The differences between versions are very few but the November version doesn't include the new style licensing support and therefore shouldn't generate any .licx problems

We're working to resolve the main issue to provide a definitive solution as soon as possible.
