TeeChart7.02Builder6 Installer - Wrong recognition of BCB6

Hello,

the new Installer does not recognize the correct BCB version.

<--
Installer: "Borland Builder 6 Standard version found"
Your Borland Builder version level is "Standard".
Borland Builder Standard version does not include QuickReport, Database support and Decision Cube packages.
For this reason, the TeeChart for QuickReport, the database Chart and DecisionGraph components will not be installed
-->

My system:
- C++Builder 6 Enterprise German (Update Pack 4),
- Win2k SP4
- TeeChart Pro 7.0 VCL/CLX License (without source code)

Previous ones Installer of TeeChart (7 and 7.01) recognized the correct BCB version. The installations did not run however for the well-known reasons successfully.

I would like to finally use TeeChart Pro in my projects. So far I wasted very much time with the integration of TeeChart Pro in BCB6 after the broken off installations.

When is a correct version finally available of Installer?

Ralf

Hi, Ralf.

The installer only looks in the registry if your BCB version is correct. Perhaps the problem is your BCB registry entries are not what installer expects. Please check if the following registry key exists and what is it's value:

Code: Select all

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\C++Builder\6.0\Version
In case you're using Enterprise version and it was installed correctly the Version should contain only "CSS" string.

Hi Marjan,

the entries in Registry seem to be corrected?

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\C++Builder\6.0]
"UseSharedFiles"="TRUE"
"Version"="CSS"
"App"="C:\\Programme\\Borland\\CBuilder6\\Bin\\bcb.exe"
"RootDir"="C:\\Programme\\Borland\\CBuilder6"
...
"Update #4"="TRUE"
Is there another possibility of convincing Installer of that the correct BCB version? Thank you.

Hi Ralf,

I've just test it here (using Win2k SP4 and BCB6 Ent. and the latest v7.02 installer) and works fine, all the components has been installed correctly.
Maybe the problem is a corrupted installer. Have you tried to download it again from our web site ?

Hi,

just still once Installer loaded:

Code: Select all

TeeChart7.02Builder6..> 27-Dec-2004 08:40  23.0M
The result is unfortunately identical.
Can it be because of the language version (WinXP, BCB6)? I use in each case the German versions ...

Hi Ralf,

this should not be problematic, have you tried to install it on another machine ?

The installer looks for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, not HKEY_CURRENT_USER

Code: Select all

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Borland\C++Builder\6.0]
"Version"="CSS"
Do you have this ok at registry hkey_local_machine?
regards

Hi David,

seems correctly too:

Code: Select all

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Borland\C++Builder\6.0]
"App"="C:\\Programme\\Borland\\CBuilder6\\Bin\\bcb.exe"
"RootDir"="C:\\Programme\\Borland\\CBuilder6"
"LocalSharedRoot"="C:\\Programme\\Gemeinsame Dateien\\Borland Shared"
"Update #4"="TRUE"
"UseSharedFiles"="FALSE"
"Version"="CSS"
...

Hi,

I've exactly the same problems:
My system:
- C++Builder 6 Enterprise German (Update Pack 4),
- Win XP Pro German
- TeeChart Pro 7.0 VCL License

Previous ones Installer of TeeChart (7 and 7.01) recognized the correct BCB version, but there were some bugs with pie charts in 7.0 and teetree within 7.01.

Hi,

perhaps Steema finally a correct version makes available Installer ...

- Identification BCB
- Correct TeeChart integration in BCB

So far I have much time wasted with the integration of the previous version.
