Delphi2006 does not recognize TeeChart 8.04 at startup

[Gerhard Sachs]

When I run a working project I always got messages like 'TDonutSeries not found'.
All TeeChart components are displayed in the component list. If I take a component and place it onto a form, everything works as expected from then on.

When I create a new empty project on Delphi startup and run it, Delphi tells me it want to install something and requests the BDS CD. If I install what Delphi wants the next time at Delphi startup a message occurs that Tee100 cannot be loaded since Tee804 is already installed.

When I disable Tee100, the system shows the same problem next time.
I must make a pseudo placement of a TeeChart component to make the system work.

Hi Gerhard,

This works fine for me here. Have you checked that you have TeeDonut series in your unit's uses section? You should also check that your Delphi's Search Path list (Project -> Options -> Directories/Conditionals) has v8.04's "bin" and "lib" folders on *top*.

Hope this helps!

Hi Narcis,

meanwhile the system is running.
I was unable to find a real reason for the problems.

When I deinstalled ReportBuilder, TeeChart alone worked.
When I deinstalled TeeChart, ReportBuilder alone worked.
Both togehter didnt.
I deinstalled both and deleted every single file that could belong to either TeeChart or ReportBuilder.
Now it works but dont ask why.

The combination TeeChart / ReportBuilder has always been difficult to install.
If you are looking for something to improve, I would recommend this area.

Regards
Gerhard

Hi Gerhard,

Thanks for the information.

When installing ReportBuilder and TeeChart together you should first check with Digital Metaphors if the RB version you have is compatible with your TeeChart version. Digital Metaphors make the TeeChart wrapper for ReportBuilder. After that you should install RB and TC as I described here. However, if it's working fine for you now I wouldn't change anything .
