Installation problems with Borland Developer Studio 2006

[lanz]

I have just installed TeeChart Standard V7 in BDS 2006. The installation says it worked OK. However when I start C++Builder 2006 it says something to the effect that TeeAbout is contained in package tee100.bpl. Like other people with installation problems under Delphi I also have Developer Express components. Package tee100.bpl is in the windows system directory.

This is a very serious problem for me because I am upgrading my code which used a lot of the free components included with C++Builder 5 and my reason for buying V7 license was so that I would not have to rewrite all the code associated with charting.

Your help would be appreciated

Hi Tony,

Please read my posts here.

Included in the C++Builder 2006 build list of runtime packages are

tee and teedb

Are these your runtime packages? Could these be causing the problem?

I have read the other posts relating to Delphi 7 which seems to be a similar problem as that user also is using Developer Express Components. According to Developer Express support the problem relates to Steema components and they say they do not use TeeChart components. Their exact reply to my email is:

"I am sorry that you have encountered such a problem, but it does not seem to relate to our components. Both the Tee710 and tee100 are Steema'a packages. If we do not misunderstand the situation, you have both versions of theTeeChart (standard and Pro) installed. They cannot co-exist and this caused the error."

The tee100.bpl is the package causing the problem and it is in the windows\system32 directory. There is also a file called tee100.jdbg which may be related.

I am using a brand new computer with XP installed on it onto which I have installed BDS 2006 so I cannot see how an old package could exist unless it is distributed with BDS 2006 which I gather is not the case.

Over to you!

Hi Tony,

Yes, those are TeeChart packages. Tee710 means TeeChart v7 for Delphi 10 (Delphi 2006) and Tee100 means TeeChart v4.04 Standard for Delphi 10. TeeChart v4.04 Standard is already included in Delphi, BCB and BDS.

The problem is that Developer Express only made its components compatible with TeeChart v4.04 Standard. There are several options to solve that issue:

1) Disable either DevExpress components or TeeChart.
2) DevExpress could make its components compatible with TeeChart Pro v7.
3) DevExpress could make its components version for TeeChart sources available to its customers so that they can change their TeeChart references as we do for QuickReport:
