How to rebuild Report Buider ?

rbuser

Hello ,

I have a lot a problem with ReportBuilder 10.09 and Delphi 7( files not
found, not compiled, Acces violation, etc).
I think the best solution is to rebuild ReportBuilder as it doesn't seem to
have a repair function.

Anybody knows if there is a procedure to entirely recompile and rebuild
ReportBuilder starting from the sources ?

Thanks for answer,

Regards,

Claude

Hi Claude,

Rebuilding ReportBuilder manually can be tricky and is not recommended or
supported.

First try performing a corrupt install cleanup by following the steps
provided in the following article. Then re-download and re-install RB 10.09
and see if that solves any problems.

Hi Niko,

I executed the cleanup procedure very carefully.
I relaunched RBENT7.exe.
The program copied a lot of files and then start to build TeeChart400.
I received only fatal error messages. None of the needed files were found ;
the first non found file being BuildTee.dpr.

Anyway, after the end of the install process, I launched Delphi7 and after a
while, I receive the message :

"Impossible to load the package "ibexpress70'. It contains unit 'IBXConst',
which is also present in package 'ibxpress73'.

How can I get rid of that need for ibexpress70 ?

Notice that this message doen't appear whan ReportBuilder is uninstalled.

Thanks for your answer.

Hi Claude,

This error most likely means that an upgraded version of IBExpress has been
installed on your machine. You will need to go into the Component | Install
Packages section of your IDE and remove the "ReportBuilder Data Access for
Interbase Express" entry. Then rebuild and reinstall the rbIBE.dpk package
located in the \RBuilder\Source\... directory.

The BuildTee.dpr file should be located in the \RBuilder\TeeChart\Tee400\...
directory. In the parent directory (\RBuilder\TeeChart), you will find the
rbTeePackageBuilder.exe application. Run this manually and see if you still
get an error installing TeeChart. If so, please send the BuildTeeLog.txt
that is generated in the Tee400 directory.

Hi Niko,

I made the first part (Rebuild rbIBE107) and more of that, I transfered all
the created bpl and dcp from the "Delphi7\Projects\bpl" directory to the
"RBuilder\lib" directory and add manualy th rbIBE107.bpl package. It's OK
now.

For the TeeChart part as I do not need it currently, I prefer to wait for a
while.

Thanks for your help.

Claude
