Potential bug when installing TeeChart support?
Hi,
there seems to be a problem with the TeeChart support during the
installation of ReportBuilder.
When I was installing it, I set all the options and saw the window of the
RBTeePackageBuilder for a short moment (too short to see anything in there).
After the installation Delphi wasn't able to load the dclRBC1111.bpl.
While trying to find out the reason for the problem, I also did execute the
RBTeePackageBuilder.exe manually and noticed at some point, that the path to
TeeChart was like that "$(BDS)\Components\TeeChart 8.04 for Delphi
2007\Delphi11\Lib\". That's how we use to type in all the paths.
With this path it didn't work either: many dcu's were not found etc.
Once I changed the path to the full path i.e. replaced "$(BDS)" with the
Delphi installation path, it worked. That was probably the problem during
the setup as well, but there I couldn't see anything, since the window
dissappeared too fast.
Maybe you could check, if there really is an issue with that.

Mark

The RBTeePackageBuilder application is designed to make the installation of
the RB/TeeChart packages easier. It looks in your registry for the
installation location of the version of TeeChart you are using. Typically
TeeChart is installed in the \Program Files\Steema\Teechart...\... directory
without any system variables in the path. I will see what I can do to
possibly resolve the fact that a system variable might be in the
installation path for a later release however the reason we provide the
executable of the package builder is to allow our users to work around
issues like this one and continue forward (as you have).
Supporting multiple versions of TeeChart with ReportBuilder is a very
difficult task. In the past we only supported a single minor version of
TeeChart per release so as you can see the RBTeePackageBuilder app is a
large leap for the installation process

of course that's a great help for the installation process.
Also the problem itself isn't that critical and only present during the
installation.
But if an other reason for a failed installation could be eleminated, this
would make it even better.
Just wanted to point out what I noticed, so you could fix it maybe.
It's installed und wirking now
