Installation problem

rbuser

Hi,

When I run the installation exe, everything looks fine, but after it
finishes and I try to open Delphi, the following message appears:

"Can't load package C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\rbIBE55.bpl.
A device attached to the system is not functioning."

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Carlos R. Silveira Filho

Is it an upgrade ?
It happened with me after upgrading, i had to complete the uninstall of the
previous version and install a clean one.
Good lock.

This package is specific to RB's DADE support IBExpress.

RB is compiled with plain D5. If you have a D5 service packs installed,
then you likely have an updated version of IBExpress. You will need to
recompile RB's rbIBE55.bpl package. See article below.

Question:
---------

I'm receiving the following error message:
"Unit daIBExpress was compiled with a different
version of IBDatabase.TIBDatabase"


Solution:
---------

If you are using the latest version of IB Express, then that
is the problem. For compatibility reasons, ReportBuilder's
LIB units are compiled using the plain Delphi 5.0 units with
no patches applied.

To solve this issue, do the following:

1. Recompile daIBExpress.pas located in ..\RBuilder\Source.
The easiest way to do this is to add the unit to your Delphi
project. You could also copy the .pas file from
..\RBuilder\Source to ..\RBuilder\Lib.

2. If you want to use the DADE Plug-in for IB Express at Delphi
design-time, then you need to recompile the rbIBE55 package.
The .dpk is located in .\RBuilder\Source. Once you recompile the
package, you need to copy the .bpl to Windows\System
(or System32 for NT).
