TeeChart 2011 and Delphi XE2 installation

[Stanislaw]

Hello,

I did try to install TeeChart 2011 with Delphi XE2 (with 1st update).

The installation caused a message:

"Embarcadero Delphi 2011 cannot be found.
Please check that Embarcadero Delphi 2011 is installed correctly before installing TeeChart."

I installed the default configuration of Delphi XE2. Delphi XE2 works properly with TeeChart standard included in the packet. Several attempts of installation caused the same message. The message appeared under WinXP 32 bit and Windows 7 Pro 64 bit system. It is worth to note, that Delphi 2009 works properly with TeeChart 2011 on the same machines.

Is it possible that presence of Delphi 2009 disturbs installation of TeeChart?
Is it possible to have both combinations: Delphi 2009 and Delphi XE2 with TeeChart 2011 installed together?

Thanks for advices.
With the best regards

Stan

Hello Stan,

What TeeChart version have you tried to install in Delphi XE2? Note that for the moment there is only a PreRelease SourceCode version that supports it (apart from the Standard version shipped with the IDE).

Hello Yeray,

It is TeeChart 2011 Pro with source code, downloaded at October 21 (file name TeeChart2011Delphi2011.exe). The official specification on Steema web page reports it as compatible with Delphi XE2 environment.

It is no hurry situation, but any info about a valid installer will be appreciated.

Hello Stan,

It is TeeChart 2011 Pro with source code, downloaded at October 21 (file name TeeChart2011Delphi2011.exe)

Note that the actual SourceCode installer is named TeeChart2011SourceCode.exe. TeeChart2011Delphi2011.exe is the TeeChart Pro for Delphi XE binary installer.

The official specification on Steema web page reports it as compatible with Delphi XE2 environment.

Could you please specify where can you read this confusing information? Let me try to clarify:
Only the Standard version that comes with the XE2 IDE and the SourceCode PreRelease version support XE2 at this moment.
We are working on fixing the problems some customers found in the SourceCode PreRelease version and on preparing the first TeeChart Pro binary installer for XE2.

Hello Yeray,

The information about compatibility is published (at least) on official Steema web page: http://www.steema.com/teechart/vcl on "Specifications" tab, the most top paragraph.

This is the required text:

For Delphi 5,6,7,8 (.Net), 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, XE, XE2 and C++ Builder 5,6, 2007, 2009, 2010, XE, XE2, Developer Studio 2006, RAD Studio 2007, 2009, 2010, XE, XE2 and FireMonkey

Icons on left side of the page suggests that the specification is valid for all theshown products.

I did load code installer. It installs source code smoothly, but I did lost the standard TeeChart components in Delphi XE2. I will install Delphi again to confirm this.

Have a good day

Stan

I've added the following to avoid confusions: "(Binary version supporting XE2 and FireMonkey expected imminently)"
If you see any other confusing text, please, don't hesitate to let us know.

I did load code installer. It installs source code smoothly, but I did lost the standard TeeChart components in Delphi XE2. I will install Delphi again to confirm this.

The installer shouldn't remove completelly the Standard version that comes with the IDE, it should backup it. Don't you find the files searching for "Backup_TeeChart"? You should be able to restore the Standard version that came with the IDE moving the files from the backup folder to the parent folder or adding the backup folder in the according library/include path and adding manually the *tee*9160.bpl(s) to the packages list (with the source code version uninstalled).

Hello Yeray,

Thank you very much for explanation. I hope the valid installer vill be ready before my upgrade period expires

The starange behavior of installer was probably my mistake. I cannot repeat the error.

Thank you for all explanations.
