A component named NewReportTreeWindow already exists

rbuser

Hi,

Just installed RB14.08 Server on Delphi 2009 and double clicking on a
TppReport component gives the error:

A component named NewReportTreeWindow already exists

for every single report in the project. We don't have any components
with that name, so is this a bug in 14.08 or has something gone awry
with our installation?

Thanks,

Steve Branley

Hi Steve,

We have not seen this behavior before. My first suggestion would be to
perform a corrupt install cleanup, then reinstall ReportBuilder and see
if the problem goes away.

Hi Nico,

It looks like it's possibly related to a couple of entries in the
rbuilder.ini file. I removed the two instances of NewReportTreeWindow
from that file (one was something like [NewReportTreeWindow] and one was
like [ComponentNewReportTreeWindow] - now I've removed them I can't
quite remember what they were) and restarted Delphi and the problem
appears to have vanished. I will know better tomorrow whether it was
just a case of restarting Delphi or if the deletion of the lines from
the ini file was also a factor, but the other laptop this problem
affected has been taken home by its owner.

I'll post the results here tomorrow in case anyone else has the same
problem and it is linked to the ini file.

Thanks,

Steve
