access violation when creating new project

[uko]

Hi,

(Delphi 7, all patches; IBDAC 2.50.0.37; DelphiSpeedup 2.78; GExperts 1.30)

whenever I create a new vcl application in Delphi 7 I get an access violation from dataset manager. Same happens whenever I try to open a form/datamodule of an existing project.

This is from datasetmanagererror.log:

17.09.2008 19:25:39 Exception EAccessViolation occured at address 168CD38B
Message: Access violation at address 168CD38B in module 'DataSetManager70.bpl'. Read of address 00000000

This error seems to specific to Delphi7 as I don't get it from Delphi 2007.
So any idea what happens here? As I want to convert a project to Firebird using Delphi7 I need a solution for this (cannot upgrade to Delphi 2007)

kind regards,
Ulrich

You can avoid the problem by disabling Dataset Manager:
select Component | Installed Packages from the Delphi menu;
select Devart Dataset Manager in the packages list and press the Remove button.

I'm not totally sure, but if I remember right, then this caused Delphi to crash. At least it doesn't help when opening a form/dm from my existing project. But i will try it again this evening.
Beside this: any idea what makes Datasetmanager crashing? Is this just my installation or a general problem?

kind regards,

ok, I tested it again now: when I disable datasetmanager package then the problem persist. I have to remove it from the list of installed packages to make it work.

But now: any idea how to make datasetmanager work for my delphi 7?
