Simpler installation problem

[MaryM]

Hi,

In my previous post, I was concerned about incompatibilities with DevExpress and QuickReports. However, I uninstalled everything, and reinstalled just C++ Builder and Teecharts, and I am still getting the error. So, Dev Express has nothing to do with it.

Basically, if I have TeeCharts installed, I can't add a TADOConnection or TADOQuery to my form on a VCL Form Application. If I deselect the 3 Tee chart components, the problem disappears.

I am attaching a word doc that contains screen shots of my configuration, and the detailed steps to reproduce. It is very easy to reproduce.

Note that I have C++ Builder 2009 installed. But I DO NOT have Delphi installed.

See attachment for more info.

Thanks!

Hi MaryM,

Does a simple application with a TChart object on it runs fine at your end?

Thanks in advance.

[MaryM]

Well this is really strange. I created a new project and added, in this order, a TChart, a TADOQuery, and a TADOConnection, and the project saved and built fine.

However, if I delete the TeeChart from the above project (so it just has a TADOQuery and a TADOConnection), save it and try to reopen it, the problem comes back.

Hi MaryM,

What about the question I made in my last post? I'd like to start from the basics and try to guess what's wrong in your environment.

Thanks in advance.

[MaryM]

Yes. I can create a new project, drag a tee chart control onto the form, compile and run the project successfully.

Hi MaryM,

You could try unchecking the TeeMaker component from the Component\Install Packages. It is not an essential component for the majority of charts.

[MaryM]

That seems to be working so far for the simple case. I will test it further next week with my bigger projects and let you know.

Can you tell me which specific components I will lose by deselecting that package? I want to make sure I will still have all of the functionality I will need.

Thanks,
Mary

Hi Mary,

TeeMaker package includes TChart3D component only.

[MaryM]

Unchecking the TeeMaker component seems to fix the problem. I have been testing with my more complicated projects, and it now seems to be stable.
Thanks!
