Delphi XE2
Hi -
Firstly, apologies for posting here - but the Embarcadero forum is slow on this subject. I recently Upgraded to RAD Studio XE2 and wanted to install Fast reports. I went to the registered users download area and downloaded a version reporting to be compatible for Delphi XE2 but after several attempts, I cannot get it installed.
On the first attempt, no components were installed. On the second attempt - using http://cc.embarcadero.com/item/28514
This seemed to work as in - I could see the components in the pallet, however, Delphi complained about not being able to find certain files. I tried to remedy this by manually adding the relevant locations to the Library path, but still got the same error messge.
I then tried re-installing the software using a different (shorted path - containing no spaces - just in case this was an issue.) Still no Joy. In fact, the components were not installed at all!
Can someone please let me know if there is a more up-to-date installation available for DELPHI XE2 users ? I tried manually installing the packages, but encountered errors doing this.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Dave.

Well, when I tried manually installing package - I got various "file not found" errors in Delphi.
I have just tried as you suggested - using the re-compile option. Accepting the default options (without pointing the FIB "Select path to FIB bpl files".) and leaving the option as "change language to,.." I get the following output :

Forgive me for my ignorance, but do I need to set specific paths for this to work ? I have only just upgraded to Delphi XE2 and cant say I noticed this 32/64 bit compile option (least it did not cause a problem in the past.)
The ironic thing is, I noticed that Fast reports IS installed on my laptop! So whether this has been installed when I installed Delphi, or if I have installed it separately - I don't recall (installed a LOT of delphi-related software recently after upgrading).
really need to get this installed on my main computer though.
If you can suggest what I might do to get this working - would be very grateful.
Cheers,
Managed to find my own solution. Had to add/remove Rad studio - then after installation - selectg "customise" remove the Fastreports Option (even though it was not installed.) Then repeated the same thing, this time selecting FastReports.
Delphi loaded fast reports - but complained about missing files. I then added the Library search path to include the relevant files.
Seems to work now. I am guessing the problems I had were from installing the trial enterprise version of RAD studio before purchasing Professional version.
