Delphi 8 Update 3

Hello,

Since I installed the Update 3 of delphi8 I'm running in an install and recompile problem.

When using the precompiled binaries, I get the :
Steema.TeeChart.VCL.Design.dll is not a Delphi package/assembly error.

And when I try to recompile the source code I get the:

TeeEditCha.pas(1795) Fatal: Borland.Delphi.System unit out of date or corrupted: missing '@FinalizeHandler' message.

The problem happens with the vertions 7.02, 7.05 and 7.06 of teeChart, with stlightly different error messages. For instance recompliling version 7.02 I get:

Fatal: File not found: 'C:\Program Files\Fichiers communs\Borland Shared\BDS\Shared Assemblies\2.0" -NSBorland.VCL D:\Borland\Components\TeeChart'

Just to be sure, I did a clean install of Delphi, testing teechart after each patch and the problem happened after the update 3 patch.

Is it a known issue?,

Patrick

Hi Patrick,

To successfully install Teechart Pro v7 VCL into Delphi 8 you should follow those steps:

- Install all the Delphi8 patches.
- Download the TeeChart Pro sources
- Run the installer of TeeChart pro v7 with sources
- Go to C:\Program Files\Steema Software\TeeChart Pro v7 Full Source Code
- Run the TeeRecompile tool
- Uncheck all the Delphi/bcb version, but not the Delphi 8, uncheck the recreate all XFM and "recompile Decision cube packages" options.
- Click begin (if you get an error about the GacUttil, skip it and close the TeeRecompile tool).
- It has created the following folder which contains the dlls. (C:\Program Files\Steema Software\TeeChart Pro v7 Full Source Code\Sources\Compiled\Delphi8)
- Then open Delphi8 and go to menu -> components -> install NET Components
- Go to NET VCL Components tab
- click Add buton and browse at C:\Program Files\Steema Software\TeeChart Pro v7 Full Source Code\Sources\Compiled\Delphi8\Assemblies
- and add the Steema.TeeChart.VCL.Design.dll
-This will add the TeeChart palette.

Have you followed them?

Hi Narcis,

Yes that's what I was doing and I get the following error:

------------------------------------
Compilation started: 29/03/2006 14:15:07

D8.NET 8 (update 3) (BDS 2 Professional)

Cannot recompile TeeChart for Delphi for .NET package: Steema.TeeChart.VCL
Borland Delphi for .NET compiler version 16.0

TeeEditCha.pas(1795) Fatal: Borland.Delphi.System unit out of date or corrupted: missing '@FinalizeHandler'
EXCEPTION:
Compilation aborted.
--------------------------------------------

And the strange stuff is that I get this only if Delph'is "Update 3'" patch is applied, before that, with just "Update 2" everything was OK...
