EDB 2.20 B1
In RAD Studio 10 Seattle Pro Upd1 I am unable to install the edbutilcompsdesign.bpl.

- Compilation works fine.
- The bpl file exist
- install out of the project tree and via the menu Component / Install Packackes is not sucessful

Message: Can't load package
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\17.0\Bpl\edbutilcompsdesign.bpl.
Das angegebene Modul wurde nicht gefunden.

Translation => The specified module could not be found


I tried it several times and moved the bpl file to other folders inside of the RAD search path but everytime with the same failure.
I am surprised about the German hint, because I have the English version of RAD installed.

I have compiled and installed several other packages without any
failure.


Any idea's?

Karlheinz,

Have you tried to copy edbutilcompsdesign.bpl. to C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\17.0\bin ?
About the message, your windows is the German version, right?

Fernando,

yes it is a German WIN 10 edition and
yes I tried it also from this folder.

Maybe you've compiled as 64bit and the IDE is only 32 bit?

Roy,

no, it is build as Win32 and Release

I tried everything what is coming into my mind.
Also uninstall and fresh install of EDB.
Searched already for other BPL's

Everything is working fine. My program which use EDB is building fine.
Other packages I can install in the same way at the same folders.
I have NO idea what could be the reason.

Karlheinz ,

Are you compiling it in the original location? If so, try to copy the whole folder "utilcomps" with the source to some directory with full permissions like "c:\utilcomps" and then repeat the whole process. I'm thinking of permission issues perhaps...

I also have Win 10 butI can't reproduce that here, however I don't have 10 Seattle, Ive tried with XE6 and its working fine.

Karlheinz,

Per email:

Hmm, I'm not seeing any issue here with the above, but I *am* only using the original install, not Update 1.   I'm waiting on a response from EMBT on getting the update - they're doing some different things with the update installations now re: subscriptions vs regular installs.

However, I can't see how that would affect anything if you're compiling the package using Update 1 on your machine.

The core message ("The specified module could not be found") indicates a problem finding a DLL.  Is it possible that your environment PATH variable is too large and that is causing issues with finding DLLs ?  This is a common issue with the limited environment variable size and the sheer number of RAD Studio installations every year.

<< I tried it several times and moved the bpl file to other folders inside of the RAD search path but everytime with the same failure. I am surprised about the German hint, because I have the English version of RAD installed.

It's an OS error message, so I would assume that you're using German as your system locale.

Karlheinz,

This should be an easy way to figure out which DLL is required that isn't being found:

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/processmonitor.aspx

Just download/install/run it, and you should be able to see where the DLL load fails, and which DLL is trying to be loaded.  Just ask if you need more help with configuring/running the utility.

Hello Tim,

I tried to work with the ProcessExplorer and could figure out that the system is searching the edbrun219rsdelphiwin32xe10Seattle.bpl file.
I searched in my registry and could not find any hint.
I searched at my discs and could also not found this file only the edbrun220...bpl ones.
I opened the edbutilcompsdesign.bpl file I have sent to you and with notepad I could found several "strings" with edbrun219rsdelphiwin32xe10Seattle.bpl.

I searched afterwards over ALL "edbrun" files. With this list of files I opened each file in notepad++ and searched for edbrun219
Finally I found a edbrun.dcp file with the entry edbrun219. I deleted this file and problem was solved.

Thank you for your hint!

Best regards

Karlheinz

Are you recompiling the EDB source code ?

All of the packages that ship with EDB are set up with a library suffix of:

{$LIBSUFFIX '220rsdelphiwin3210s'}

For proper Delphi 10S support, you should use EDB 2.20 or higher.
