I am running Delphi 7 Professional and I had installed the evaluation version of TeeChart2010 Professional. I ended up buying the Standard version of TeeChart 2010. After much tooing and froing (and file deleting) I have the purchased version installed. Unfortunately, when I try to compile an application with a TeeChart I get the following error: "[Error] File not found: 'TeeFonts.res'". I searched my computer and cannot find any such file. Can anyone shed light on this problem?

Hi Diarmid,

TeeFonts.res is not included with Std. version. Is this a new application you developed from a scratch or an application you created with TeeChart Pro v2010 VCL an tried to compile again with the std version? If it's the later please try removing TeeFonts reference from your project and build the application again.

It would seem that little bit of the trial version of the TeeChart Professional is still lingering on my system. I have uninstalled the trial version and removed the references from the Delphi IDE. I have a few times uninstalled and reinstalled the new paid for TeeChart Standard version. I always get a message at the end of the installation as follows:

TeeChart Installation
VERSION: 2010
Delphi v7 Professional (update 1)
EXCEPTION:
Can't load package C:\Program Files\Steema Software\TeeChart Standard 2010 for Delphi 7\Delphi7\Bin\DclTeeMaker17.bpl.
The system cannot find the file specified
--------------------------------------------

I went in the Windows Registry to try to delete references to TeeChart but had the same result upon reinstallation. The trial version just won't die (its like a vampire) or perhaps there is a problem with the installer for the Standard version.

Hi Diarmid,

This is a known issue with the standard version installers TeeMaker packages are only included with the Professional version. In spite of this error, have you checked if the packages have been installed in the IDE?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Diarmid,

As an update, I have fixed the TeeMaker packages issue for next maintenance release.

The packages were installed into the IDE. I am able to add a Chart and configure it. However, when I try to compile or build the application I get the File Not Found Error (TeeFonts.res). I can't use the components in my application (which would seem to defeat the purpose of buying them).

Hi Diarmid,

I'm sorry to hear that. Could you please attach a simple project reproducing the problem we can run "as-is"? We will check if there's anything wrong on it.

Thanks in advance.

Hi There,

Attached is an application that has the error. I just created a new application and added a Chart.

It would seem that the hybrid version of TeeChart is on my system now. It is neither the Standard nor the Professional version. Is the problem in the bpl files located in my c:\windows\system32\ directory (see attached picture)? or in the Bin directory of the Steema Software installation directory (see attached picture)?

Hi Diarmid,

Thanks for your feedback. I could reproduce the issue here and was solved adding TeeFonts.res, which I attach, to TeeChart's "Lib" folder. Can you please try if this solves the problem at your end? We'll also try to fix this issue for next releases.

I think your TeeChart installation is fine. Dcl*97.bpl are design-time packages while Tee*97.bpl are run-time packages. If you had TeeChart Pro VCL installed you would also have [Dcl]TeePro97.bpl and others.

Apologies for the inconvenience this may have caused.

The program now compiles. I appreciate your help with this!
