12.3 install Indy 10 manually error with rtl290.bpl when closing RAD 12 just open/close no projects involved

[hicpics-rt]

Needing to get the oauth functionality with our new 12.3 delphi. I have followed the instructions for removing the currently installed Indy components and ran the clean_athens command then opened RAD 12 and got messages about livepreview and indypeer... not loaded and do i want to keep trying to load. I clicked NO for both then opened the indy 290 project did a build on all in the sequence indicated no errors. then installed the components and closed out of RAD 12 and I get the error for rtl290.bpl access violation.
i have been totalling unstalling RAD 12 and reinstalling trying different things. like saying yes to keep trying to load the livepreview and indypeer... but no matter what i try i keep getting the rtl290.bpl error after trying to install indy manually.

Sounds like something you need to report to Embarcadero directly as you are getting an error in the IDE itself, not in Indy. Either you are doing something wrong in the installation, or there is an actual bug in the IDE. But, if it comes back that the AV is actually due to something Indy itself is doing (maybe a bad registration or something) then open an actual bug ticket with specific details.

Looks like embarcadero will be a bit in addressing. but i have a follow up question. after i run clean_athens then open bds and loading the indy290 and compiling in the sequence mentioned and updating the library path with new location of indy\lib\core, system and protocols installing the components then exit and re-open. it throws the message about not able to load the livepreview next time and i say No. But it also asks about not being able to load the Indy IP Abstraction Indy Implementation...
When i open install packages to uncheck/check the package it says can't load package c:\program files (x(86)\embarcader\studio\23.0\bin\dclIPIndyImpl290.bpl
the specifed module could not be found.
But that bpl is in that folder

This is all explained in Indy's install notes

i changed up the install process after a bit of searching.
Here is what i found to resolve this issue.

1. component, install packages, removed indy core, protocols and the IP integration (not sure if needed to remove last part but did so)
2. ran clean_athens
   3) RENAMED the ..\23.0\source\indy, indy10 and indyImpl folders
3. opened the indy290 package and tried to compile but THIS caused an error in the indysystem290.dpk file. so i compared it to the 6.3.11 version of the file and it is different. so i copied the 6.3.11 over to the one from the current indy-master folder then compiled again and it was clean
4. installed the components
5. changed the library path to point to new location

My problem came down to the source files and the broken indysystem290.dpk file
Thank you guys for all the hard work you do.

[hicpics-rt]

the master branch has an error in the indysystem290.dpk

[rlebeau]

Again, what is the EXACT error? Please be more specific. Also, you claim the 10.6.3.11 file works but the master file fails, but they are the same.

[hicpics-rt]

the 6.3.11 has a bunch of the indef type statements but the master branch looks broken

[hicpics-rt]

have to put it back to get the compiler errors. hang on

[rlebeau]

the 6.3.11 has a bunch of the indef type statements but the master branch looks broken

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are saying.

when i copied over the indysystem290.dpk from the branch 6.3.11 (i downloaded outside of the indy-master branch) after i copied it over and saved then the compile worked and then i could install

The code errors you are showing are not in the code in the repo, which means only your local file has been altered/corrupted. That is why replacing the file works.

[WillemCatR]

Some DPK files are erroneous in the repo: they have a 'wrong' end-of-line character (LF i.o. CRLF), at least, Delphi RAD Studio does not accept it, showing the wrong text. This can be solved locally by loading the file text in wordpad.exe and save it over the old one.

[rlebeau]

Which files, exactly?

[WillemCatR]

IndyCore260.dpk, IndyCore270.dpk, IndyCore280.dpk, IndyCore290.dpk, IndyCore370.dpk
In the Delphi branch of Indy-Indy-10.6.3.12

[rlebeau]

GitHub normalizes line endings internally and uses LF by default. If you clone the repo onto a Windows machine, then (depending on your local config) it should normalize all of the line breaks to CRLF locally, and convert to LF when committing. Are you cloning before creating your zip file? If you are just zipping up the original repo as-is, then it makes sense why all of the files have LF endings.

FYI I wanted to know why it didn't work for me so I kept retesting by uninstalling everything then wiped the folders altogether. Removed registry entries as well on uninstall. What I found was that after installing RAD Studio then following all the install instruction for Indy, I also had to REMOVE/RENAME the Indy source folders from the RAD Studio install. I am sure I missed something in the install instructions but that was the only way for me to get it to install newer Indy.

Actually, it is mentioned in the Get the latest Indy source section. But I've just now added a new Remove the Source Files from the IDE section as well.
