Problems getting Update 3 behind firewall2007-09-13 04:27:23 AM delphi34 I am currently running Delphi 2007 Update 2 under Windows Vista behind our company's firewall. Checking for Updates has never returned anything but 'No updates available'. I downloaded CodeGearRadStudio2007setup.exe from here: cc.codegear.com/item/25001 I ran it with the upgrade parameter and as an administrator. I very quickly got the error: Runtime error in setup script: Line 1874: attempting to get value of undefined variable PROD_KEY1. Now what? --Bruce |

Very soon we're going to post a downloadable zip that has all the core binaries, minus prereqs, so that folks behind a firewall can do the update locally. That also means you can do a full install from this ZIP in case your previous install is somehow corrupted. Once we post the zip (should be within 24 hours), if you still have trouble feel free to send me an email and I will get you sorted out. -- Chris Pattinson CodeGear QA Manager, Delphi/C++ Developer Studio |

Re:Problems getting Update 3 behind firewall
The install cache is there under C:\ProgramData. As far as I know it hasn't
been touched. When I run the installer for update 3, a second GUID-named folder is created with a single folder inside called 'offline' before the error message appears. "Chris Pattinson (CodeGear)" <XXXX@XXXXX.COM>writes QuoteBruce writes: |

Re:Problems getting Update 3 behind firewall
I am frustrated beyond belief. I downloaded the full zip and ran the
installer (with and without the /upgrade parameter) and received the same error. I then decided to uninstall the product completely. The icon disappeared in 'Add/Remove Programs' but nothing happened. {*word*99}. I removed all the Borland and Codegear folders I could find on my hard drive and in the registry. Ran setup in the zip file. I now get a dialog with four choices, but no matter what I choose, I get a similar error as below, but the line number is 15287 and the variable is HAS_SLIP. What do I need to do to fix this? I am now completely dead in the water. "Chris Pattinson (CodeGear)" <XXXX@XXXXX.COM>writes Quote

On my machine it still thought it had RAD Studio installed and I couldn't get it to accept that it was a new install. Deleting the RAD Studio entry made it work for me. HTH, Brad. |

Nick,
| | Deleting the RAD Studio entry made it work for me. | | Good tip -- thanks. Are you going to be able to get the un-installer fixed so it will remove all such garbage in the future? -- Q 09/18/2007 09:34:30 XanaNews Version 1.17.5.7 [Q's salutation mod] |

Re:Problems getting Update 3 behind firewall
Nick,
| I hope so -- I don't understand why the uninstaller leaves it there | in the first place. <chuckle>BT, DT. On a serious note... I find that most software un-installers do a TERRIBLE job of uninstalling. All kinds of {*word*99} left all over the place, especially in the Registry, files and directories left, etc.,. It boggles my mind how sloppy most of them are. <sigh> -- Q 09/19/2007 09:26:08 XanaNews Version 1.17.5.7 [Q's salutation mod] |
