XE7; FR VCL 5 Enterprise v 5.6.4 - TfrxPreview access violation when dropped on a form

Howdy all,

I am working on a project that needs XE7 and am using the versions in the title of this.

Every time I drop the TfrxPreview on a form (even on a blank brand new VCL app), I get an access violation :

"Access violation at address 50153dd8 in module 'rtl210.bpl'. Read of address 00000008." (Full stack trace below). After that happens, the IDE is corrupted and I need to close out.

The Structure viewer list in the IDE shows a component listed as "<Components[1]>" which is basically malformed because of the a/v.

Anybody else seen this before? Any ideas on what I could try?

I have the standard TeeChart VCL v 2014.11.14071 that comes with XE7 installed.

I have uninstalled the TeeChart component from XE7. Rebooted. Reinstalled it. Rebooted. Twice.

I have uninstalled and re-installed FastReports several times (yes, also I deleted the folders in the C:\Prog files x86; no, there were not leftover bpl files anywhere in the C:\Windows\Sys32 / syswow64 folders).

I have tried without recompiling FastReports. I have tried with recompling FastReports (all modules, just the TeeChart options, both x86 and x64).

Nothing I am able to do is seemingly fixing this problem.

In addition to XE7 I do have the Community Edition 10.4 installed; but this version is too old for FR 5 to install. (Unless the version of TeeChart there is interfering with the XE7 version? no idea).

Other things I have Installed in my XE7 IDE:

Castaliia 2014.11

Devart Entiy DAC 3.0.2

Devart SDAC 9.4.4

FMSoft UniGUI v_1.90.0.1543

JCL 2.8.0.5677
