Hi Bobby,

Best of luck anyway, hope you get AC building soon.

Hi Hamilton,

Thank you for reply. I solved the problem by installing Delphi XE3 (it was time for upgrade anyway). No problem with AC now.

Probably you are right- it was some kind of old file issue. Thanks again and let's close topic.

OK. Let's go to details.

I didn't tried Windows unpacker, because everything compiles flawlessly and issue with acHints is a minor one.

The installation process (I have used it successfully since v.7.2) is like this: I have a subfolder in RAD's “source” folder named “AlphaControls” where I have Full rights as Owner. This folder is added to Delphi's search path. I keep a copy of unpacked AC zip-file there.

When upgrading-downgrading AC version, I delete all files in this folder, replace them with new ones and then open dpk-files located there in Delphi . Delphi uses default location for bpl and dcp files in UsersPublic Documents folder. Before compiling new package I delete all AC related bpl and dcp files (even the ones with “~“ sign if they are present). After that I compile and install new package.

I have tried variations of this process- added “AlphaControls” folder to Windows Path, installed acnt2010.bpl manually by means of “Install Package”, removed sImgList from sRegisterIt.pas “uses” and “RegisterComponents” directives, but without any success. When I removed ImgList from package, it was TsTitleBar, who gave me similar error.

You should be sure that previous version of the package was removed completely. Conflict with old files is a reason of such problem.

Hi,

Unpacker is IZArc v.4.1.6. Previous AC version was carefully removed. As I said, I have no problem with AC 7.70 (except for acHints.res). When install of 8.19 failed, I removed it and installed 7.70 back without any problem.

My computer is: Intel DQ57TM MB, Intel i5 2,8 GHz, 4 GB DDR3 RAM, 2TB HDD, Win7 pro, RAD Studio 2010 Pro
