Konopka VCL Controls Loaded but GetIt Does Not Show as Installed
Konopka VCL Controls Loaded but GetIt Does Not Show as Installed
I just upgraded to Delphi 10.2 Version 25.0.29039.2004.
I used the GetIt Package Manager to install the Konopka VCL Controls. It told me that Rad Studio would need to be relaunched after the install. I clicked YES. It did the install and it hung after the component install window closed. The only way I could get out of GetIt Package Manager and Delphi was to end task from Task Manager.
When I start Delphi 10.2 it tells me that the Konopka VCL Controls are loaded. However, when I load the "Installed" packages from GetIt Package Manager it does not show the Konopka VCL Controls as loaded.
I've tried removing the packages from the IDE and re-installing and it hangs every time at the same step.
Has anyone experienced this behavior?
Is there a way to inform GetIt that a package is installed?

ReplyDeleteIt's a bit flakey. It leaves stuff in the registry if things don't work perfectly, and there's no way to correct it other than deleting registry entries. It also can have things installed and not think they are. Not very robust yet. It needs some kind of auditing function that compares what's installed with what the registry says is installed.
ReplyDeleteWhat I don't understand is why it needs to restart Delphi immediately after installing each package (for most packages). WTF? We're frigging developers here! Just tell us we need to restart Delphi to complete some stuff and ask if we'd like to do it now or later. It's ridiculous to have to restart Delphi a half-dozen times in a row when all you're doing is installing a bunch of libraries.
Also, it should ask us where we want to install each package. It's a major PITA when the practice for a given project requires components to be installed in a specific location in order to support various automated tools.
David Schwartz Totally agree on restarting Delphi after getting packages from GetIt is dumb. If that is the case then create a separate app so i can load a batch at once instead of starting Delphi and restarting it after installs.
ReplyDeleteMichael Riley Do not go crazy that GetIt doesn't know if you installed it or not. As long as you know you did then the world goes on.
struck this on the last web installer, I had to remove the registry values before I could install again properly
