Hi,

Teechart pro with source D2010 has been successfully installed in my conputer, but XE3 failed.

A partial copy of install log is here, please help.

Hi sswang,

Could you please reinstall TeeChart sources and try again? Probably that file has been corrupted during the installation. You could keep a "clean" sources copy just in case this occurs so that you can overwrite modified sources easily.

Hi Narcís,

I found that to be a locale problem, some characters become question mark in Chinese locale such as:

TeeConst:
TeeMsg_Copyright :={$IFDEF LCL}'(C)'{$ELSE}'?{$ENDIF}+' 1995-2013 by Steema Software';
TeePolarDegreeSymbol :='?;

I have gone through the compile process and found all problem units.
Can you convert these 4 units using delphi IDE from ANSI to UTF8 for all future releases? (and send me one copy first. )

unit TeeConst;
unit TeeProCo;
unit TeeFormatting;
unit FMXTee.Editor.Formatting;

Hello,

Thanks for your feedback.

Can you convert these 4 units using delphi IDE from ANSI to UTF8 for all future releases? (and send me one copy first. )

This is not possible. Those units need to be in ANSI format for compatibility with pre-Delphi 2009 IDEs. TeeRecompile automatically converts them to Unicode units for the environments where it's supported.
