Hello

I have upgraded from ElevateDB VCL Standard to Client Server, but I cannot now build my existing projects. The path to edbcomps.pas wasn't added to the library paths, then it protested about the absence of the edbversion.inc and edbcompile.inc files.

Without the files, it then complains that edbcomps.AllocRecordBuffer differs from a previous version.

Help!

I should add that the Delphi 7 installation is Ok; the above relates only to D2009. I did a complete un-install before I installed the components into each version of Delphi.

Regards & TIA

Peter

Three things:

1) The .inc issue is only a problem if you're re-compiling the utilities or
servers, but they will be included in the next build.

2) You shouldn't need to compile with the edbcomps.pas unit - just use the
..dcu.

3) A long while ago the edbcomps.pas was accidentally included in the \code
subdirectory instead of the \code\source subdirectory, so make sure that you
delete any edbcomps.pas unit from the \code subdirectory so that Delphi will
use the .dcu instead.

That is my only reason for purchasing the upgrade - when will the next build be available?

The edbcomps.dcu is in C:\Program Files\ElevateDB VCL Client-Server\Version 2\RAD Studio (Delphi) 2009\code, which I have added to the library path, but it will not compile. The .pas file was in the sub-directory \Source, but I have re-named it to edbcompsXXX.pas.

Should I remove all the library references to ..\ElevateDB VCL Standard? I have, and that didn't help either. I am unsure as to whether the C\S file replace the Std files, or are in addition to the Std files.

Rather than wait for build 18, is it possible for me to delete everything and just install the VCL Std? That way I will be able to at least continue working.

I'm just waiting on some info from some customers, so it shouldn't be more
than a couple of more days.  Just send me an email, and I'll respond with
the .inc files.

Did you do a global search for edbcomps.* ?  More than likely you've got a
straggler around somewhere.

They will replace them.

That probably won't help unless the issue is that there's an edbcomps.* file
in that subdirectory.  The basic problem is that the compiler is using an
out-dated version of an edbcomps unit file somewhere in the compiler search
path.
