Yes, v6.2.10 installs the D26 folders (if you have "Rio" installed). The Recompile Utility also now offers a "10.3" compiler option.
Shame the FR team didn't make this clear in the Changes.Txt file, or (better) update the minor version from "2" to "3" [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

but the recompile utility has no option for '10.3'.
Very odd. (I assume you scrolled the list to the bottom. The Recompile Utility seems to "remember" the last time it was invoked.)
We didn't have to do anything special to make it work.
And the option is available even on a machine that does not currently have 10.3 installed. (You will get an error about missing folders, if you try this option on such a machine.)
"C:\Program Files\FastReport 6 VCL <Edition>\" on 32 bit system, or
"C:\Program Files (x86)\FastReport 6 VCL <Edition>\" on 64 bit system
where <Edition> is "Professional" | "Standard" etc.
What is the datetimestamp on the Recompile.exe in the folder:
It should be something like 3/12/2018 15:14.
I can't remember exactly. But somewhen like May 2018.
The installer seems to ignore existing files instead of overwriting them. Odd.
I tried both installing over an existing version and uninstall the previous version.
Now, after deleting the folder and a clean install it works perfectly.

This is a problem with the way the FastReport / FastCube installer is configured. A search of these Forums will show many posts that were resolved by advice telling the OP (1) not to attempt an update in place; and (2) not to rely on "uninstall" to remove all traces.
We always use IObit Uninstaller to remove previous editions, because there are traces left all over the system (file folders, Registry etc.), and have had nearly 100% success installing updates since.
[I am not promoting IObit, there may be equally effective tools we don't know about!]

I can not find the new version in the download page.
Is it version fr6_2_10_all_std.exe ?

I managed to install fastreport to Rio 10.3
I installed fr6_2_11_all_std.exe. The D26 folders are there but the recompile utility has no option for '10.3'.
Did I miss something?

Uninstall Fastreport.
Delete the Folder by hand.
After that, reinstall Fast Report.
many greetings Karl

Thanks to all.
