Can't get the VCL.net under BDS 2006 to install!

ErikW · Post by **ErikW** » Fri Aug 04, 2006 7:02 am

I've seen other users had the same problems

"C:\Program Files\Steema Software\TeeChart Pro 7.07 Full Source Code\Sources\Compiled\Delphi10\Assemblies\Steema.TeeChart.VCL.Design.dll is not a Delphi package/assembly"

I started to install with just the binaries but I got the above error message so I tried to use the source code and I've recompiled it using the recompile.exe and also in the IDE but it still not possible to add the dll in the .Net VCL tab in my IDE. The standard vcl (not vcl.net) seems to work fine.

Please help me out...

Hi Erik,

do you have the Delphi2006 Update 2 installed ?

Hi Erik,

I've just test it and you're correct, I'm getting the same problem, something has been changed in the latest maintenance which affects the Net assembly, we're going to review which could be the problem.
I'll let you know something as soon as possible.

OK. Sounds good that you are working on it. Looking forward to the result.

Any timeplan for this?

If it doesn't come soon I will have to get some other component to do the work...

Hi Erik,

I've been reviewing this problem, and as I can see it's not a TeeChart.dll problem. This happens when BDS2006 have some assembly search paths defined where the dll is saved, and some of them cannot be found or are older dll paths.
To fix it, please go to the Component -> Installed Net Components -> Assembly Search Paths and remove all the paths which reference to TeeChart Pro except the one where you've the latest installation.

Also, go to F:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Borland Studio Projects folder and if there you can find the Teechart dlls please remove them.
Once this has been done, closing the BDS, open it again and Adding the dll again should work fine.
