Problems with UniDAC 4.1.6 after install Hotfix1

[RWarnecke]

Hi,

I get this message after I installed the Hotfix 1 for Update 4 from the RAD Studio XE2 :

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Window Title]
Error

[Content]
Package c:\program files (x86)\embarcadero\rad studio\9.0\bin\unidacfmx160.bpl must be recompiled before it can be installed..
Do you want to attempt to load this package the next time a project is loaded?

[Yes] [No]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't have the UniDAC 4.1.6 package with the source code. Please can you help me.

Hello

UniDAC 4.1.6 is compatible with Delphi XE2 Update 4, that is installed by most of our users. If we release the next version with Delphi XE2 Update 4 + Hotfix 1 compatibility, then most of our users will be unable to use UniDAC, so we cannot add this support now. May be we will add Hotfix 1 compatibility later. So we can propose you to upgrade your UniDAC edition to edition with source code, and it will allow you to avoid all issues with compatibility.

[RWarnecke]

Did you have a time frame, when the support for Hotfix 1 is coming ?

How can I upgrade my Professional Version to the Professional with Source-Code ?

In the current discription to install the unidac 4.1.6 with source code I didn't find a description for Delphi XE2. I have it only for 32-bit or 64-bit managed to install the component.

Please can you help me, how can I installed unidac 4.1.6 with source code under delphi xe2.

helllo,

For installing UniDAC from the sources you should run the Make.bat file that is in the ...\UniDAC\Source\Delphi6\ folder, and that will create all the needed *.dcu and *.bpl files for all available platforms, and will locate them to the appropriate folders ..\Win32, ..\Win64, ..\OSX32. After this you should add the dclunidac.bpl package and all the needed provider packages to IDE (IDE -> Main Menu -> Components -> Install Packages - > Add). You also need to add the pathes to the created files to Library Path for every target platform correspondently.

My Make.bat doesn't do that. When I started the Make.bat they do something. The output in the DOS windows are too fast to read it. I can only installed the componentes for 32bit or 64bit manually with the first way about the run-time, GUI related, DAC design-time packages and so on.

After running ..\Devart\UniDAC\Source\Delphi16\Make.bat in the folders ..\Devart\UniDAC\Bin\Delphi16\, ..\Devart\UniDAC\Include\Delphi16\, ..\Devart\UniDAC\Lib\Delphi16\ , folders with needed *..dcu and *.bpl are created, the pathes to which should be written by you in IDE after installing dclunidac160.bpl

My Make.Bat doesn't do that. Is the batch ready, in these folders are no dcu and bpl files.

Hello,

I delete my complete directory with the unidac 4.1.6 source. After than I downloaded the source code archiv again and then I tried the installation again with the Make.bat file. The batch file create all dcu and bpl files. After the installation was finished in the ide, the components works fine at the first test under Delphi XE2 with the platforms win32, win64 and osx32.

Hi all,

It's been almost a month now since the Hotfix1 was released and I still can't use the UniDAC components because it's not compatible.

Please consider bringing out either a patch or an update for the UniDAC components that works with the (Update 4) Hotfix1. I can't hold off much longer, if the issue cannot be resolved soon, I will need to stop using the UniDAC components.

I have not bought the components with source code, as it is too expensive for me. Therefore this is not a viable alternative to just recompile the components as I do not have the source code.

Regards,
Johan Swart

Hello,

The version with HotFix1 support will be released next week.
