Problem installing Teechart

Post by Colin » Fri Aug 28, 2015 6:05 am

I have just purchased teechart standard VCL for Delphi XE6 Enterprise and downloaded Build 2015.15.150420 full off-line version.
I also get the messages that GDIPAPI and GDIPOBJ files cannot be found, causing the install to fail.
It seems that this is a known and ongoing problem which has been around for a few years. Why hasn't this been properly addressed? It is more than a bit frustrating that this kind of problem still exists. I have looked and tried some of the suggestions that others have mentioned but without success.
Where to now?

Further to my first post. I have now tried to uninstall this version of teecharts, but now I can't compile my programs as the original teechart that came with XE6 has of course been removed and I am left with incompatibility issues.

Hello,

In the latest release announce in this forum you can see this:

Is this the problem you found?

Thanks for that Yeray, that fixed the problem. It probably would have saved a lot of angst if those files had been added to the installation program.
Anyway, all up and running now so I appreciate the help.
Regards
Colin

Seems I haven't quite got there. The install ran fine with the additional files, but I now get this error.

Hello,

It seems that the TeeChart Lite version shipped with the IDE hasn't been correctly uninstalled from the list of packages the IDE loads at the start.
I'd suggest you to uninstall it manually from the list of packages and reopen the IDE.

Turned out I had to reinstall Report Builder, but your comment put me on the right track.
Thanks
Colin
