You are not alone....

Same problem here - was the theme I used in RB 10 stored in the registry
? Are there files missing? Right now I cannot use RB 11.

I also notice that after dismissing the dialog with OK, a windowless
instance of my application remains in the task list, which I have to
kill with Process Explorer.

1. Please provide more environment details. Windows version, Delphi version,
RB Edition (Std, Pro, Ent Server).

2. If you have RB Professional, Enterprise, or Server, then please try a
run-time test using the Designer.

a. Place a Report and Designer on a form.
b. Set Designer.Report to reference the report object.
c. Place a button on the form.
d. In the button.OnClick event add a line of code,

ppDesigner1.Show;

e. Now run the application and when the error occurs examine the call stack.

Post test results here or send to support@digital-metaphors.com

I installed RB11 in a VMware development environment with the versions
above and built a simple app using the steps you specified.

When I run the program in the IDE, no error occurs.

When I run it outside the IDE in the VM, no error occurs.

When I copy it to the host machine, on which I have XP Pro SP3,
Delphi 2007 Pro, and RB Ent 10.09, the 'Failed to get data for
Theme' pops up.

When I copy it to a machine running Vista 64-bit, with no
development environment, I also get the pop-up.

In the case of this project1.exe, it is not left running and I can
close it normally. My own application remains running windowless after
the pop-up. Because of the lack of a suitable running environment, I
cannot run my own application in the VM.

One more detail. On the (virtual) machine where no pop-up happens,
Microsoft Office is not installed. On the machines here with the
pop-up, Microsoft Office 2007 is installed, and REGMON shows that the
pop-up coincides with an unsuccessful attempt to Query the value of
HKCU/Software/Microsoft/12.0/Common/Theme.

We are working on a new build that will fix this issue.

As a temporary work around...

1. Use Windows Explorer to browse to RBuilder.ini, which should be located
in the following directory. (Note: If RBuilder.ini does not exist, then use
notepad to create new one. )

Windows Vista: [UserName]\AppData\Local\RBuilder

Windows XP: Documents and Settings\[UserName]\Local SEttings\Application
Data\RBuilder


2. Open RBulder.ini and search for a section called ThemeInfo. Add/modify
the section to include the following info.

[ThemeInfo]
Office2007UserScheme=0
ThemeName=Office2007

A new RB 11 build is available that corrects this issue. Please download the
new build and run the installation - this will remove your current build and
install the new one.

Many thanks to those that emailed and posted the call stack information
associated with this error!
