Installation problem ver 8.06

[Lenfors]

Hello!

As usual when trying to update TeeChart I run into trouble! I think I spend the same amount of time on TeeChart as on all other components together....

I'm using Delphi 2009 and Quick report 5. Until now I have been using TeeChart 8.05 (finally got it to work).

Now I downloaded TeeChart 8.06. Run the setup without problem and then I run the TeeRecompile application (why is this not run from the setup?).

After this I try to compile my application but now it says "File not found: 'QrTee.dcu'".

Please help me! I have to get this project running!

And please put some effert into getting the installation to work!!!!!!!

regards, Mikael

Hi Mikael,

Now I downloaded TeeChart 8.06. Run the setup without problem and then I run the TeeRecompile application (why is this not run from the setup?).

Because the sourcecode installer just installs the full sources to the machine, no example, no tutorial, no help library, etc. Users want to use those sources in a different way and probably combined with the binary package installation so it's left to user's choice whether or not they want to install source code packages to the IDE.

After this I try to compile my application but now it says "File not found: 'QrTee.dcu'".

This is probably because it's searching for a QuickReport version different than the version you have installed or it is not installed in the default installation path. I'm afraid you'll have to compile TQRChart packages manually as described in the QuickReport article here.

And please put some effert into getting the installation to work!!!!!!!

We are constantly trying to enhance TeeChart installation and make it as automatized as possible. However, it's very difficult covering all cases due to Delphi packages nature and all Delphi, Quick Report and TeeChart combinations possible.

Ok, thanks.

Now I succeded in compiling/building both Tee8QR5D12.dproj and DclTee8QR5D12.dproj. Now I can at least open and compile my project again.
The problem remaining is I can't Install DclTee8QR5D12.dproj. I get error:
"Cannot load package 'DclTee812.' It contains unit 'TeeChartExp,' wich is also contained in package 'DclTeePro812'."

What should I do?

Hi Lenfors,

Probably your DclTee8QR5D12 package has in its requires list the DclTee812 package and you have TeeChart Pro, so you have to change this requires for the DclTeePro812.

Thanks, it worked!

Can't you make these adjustments automatic in the installation! I have these same type of problems every time I upgrade and it's really time consuming!

Regards, Mikael

Hi Mikael,

I think that the installer already tries to check it but anyway we'll revise it for further releases (TV52014532).

I am about to upgrade my TC 5 to 8.06 on my D6. I have two machines, XP and Vista. I propose to try on the Vista machine first, so as not to disturb my production machine XP until I am sure the installation succeeds with Vista.

Will I have any problems?

Hi Hans,

Not that I can think of. However, before installing v8 in Delphi 6 you should install all D6 updates available (update 2, RTL update 2 and RTL update 3). After that you can install v8. The only problem that can occur is that Delphi still references old TeeChart packages. If this occurs we will help you sorting it out.
