RBuilder.ini

rbuser

My application is getting the "cannot write RBuilder.ini" and I am not
using the TppDesigner in my application.

I am using Delphi 2007, current service packs and Report Builder 10.09.

Is there anything I can do to control this error without having to grant
access right to the file in the WinSys directory? From what I have
read, I should not get this error if I am not using the TppDesigner.

John

Hi John,

Are you receiving this error at runtime or design time? Are you able to
recreate this issue with a simple example (Report on a form with a button)?

Nico,

The error is on the client machines at run time.

The error seems random. I have had people tell me that they get that
error and close and restart the application and don't see it again for a
while, then it returns later.

I am an administrator and have rights to the Windows System directory. I
will try to set up a test bed and let you know if I get this error too.

I have tried putting a TppDesigner on the forms as a dummy and
configured it to hope and alleviate the problem. Please bare with me, I
have a heavy load but will get you what you asked for.

Thanks for the response,

John

Nico,

I created a test environment and created a new project and copied in a
report form from an existing project, here is what I learned.

1. The error occurs only at runtime. If you run the program from the
IDE you do not get the error. You do get the error when you run the
program outside the IDE even if Delphi is loaded.

2. It is trying to write to the C:\Windows\System32 folder. I have
seen the RBuilder.ini in the application/exe directory and C:\windows.
I have been using RBuilder for many years so I don't know when those
were created.

3. My reports are contained on a TFrame which I decend from which I
know is not recommended, but it works for me.

4. The error occurs when you actually run the report, not when the
TppReport component gets created.

Please tell me if I can offer anything else.

Nico,

I can upload the test project I created. It is a 12K zip file. You
need to have the Northwind database on the local machine to run it. If
you would like it, let me know where I can upload to.

Also, it appears that by adding a "dummy" TppDesigner to the report form
and configuring it to the registry will solve this problem, but I think
the root should be fixed.

Thanks,

John

I have the same problem. It happends only in Windows vista machines when the
report launches the preview.
How can I tell to the preview form where to put this file?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm another one who has the same problem. I also have the problem when I
double click a TppReport component.

I urgently need a solution, because I can't create a new report!

I use Delphi 2007 on Windows Vista, Report Builder 10.09

Please help, thank you
Mathias
