Will there be a build of ElevateDB available soon that will compile into the new version of Lazarus. Have downloaded the new stable version of Lazarus but ElevateDB won't compile into it.

The Lazarus team has announced the 0.9.30 release, and because of the countless bugs I’ve come across since developing with Lazarus I’ve downloaded the latest version with a happy smile.  However, I think I may have pointed this out to Tim in the past when I was messing with the snapshots that I got an error when trying to install ElevateDB, and so it seems its transferred to the latest release.

I’m not too sure if they have made changes in the way packages are built, or I need to do something differently but I would very much appreciate if you could take a look so that I can get the ElevateDB installed into the new version as I’m sure may others will be seeing the same problem.  In the meantime I’m going to try a few things and if I find something I will let you know.

I’ve attached the screenshot.

Further to my last post, here is a fix for the latest version of Lazarus and ElevateDB compliments of, and full credit to Tim Young through email.  I've said this by email and I'll post it here, his support is second to none and I just wish there was more companies out there to his standards.

Ive posted this on behalf of Tim because I know hes a busy man and usually cant get to the forums daily.

Modify both the design-time and run-time .lpk files as shown below:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<CONFIG>
 <Package Version="3">
   <PathDelim Value="\"/>
   <Name Value="edbrun"/>
   <Author Value="Elevate Software, Inc."/>
   <CompilerOptions>
     <Version Value="8"/>
     <PathDelim Value="\"/>
     <SearchPaths>
       <IncludeFiles Value="m:\products\source\edb2\engine\"/>
       <OtherUnitFiles Value="M:\products\source\edb2\engine\dataset\;M:\products\source\edb2\engine\"/>
       <UnitOutputDirectory Value="units/$(TargetCPU)-$(TargetOS)"/>                  <<---  Add this
     </SearchPaths>


Lastly, if your under Windows Vista or Windows 7 the compiler kicked up a fuss if Lazarus wasn't opened with Administrator Rights when installing.

Yes, 2.05 Build 5 will fix the issue with the package output directory.
