Upgrade from ver 8.07 to TeeChart Pro v2012/13

[Lenfors]

Hello!

Versions:
TeeChart Pro 2013 with source
Delphi 2010 Pro
Quick Report 5.05

The reason we avoided to upgrade for a long time is that it was a pain getting everything working last time we installed TeeChart. Now We are mowing to Delphi XE5 and therefore we now upgraded to TeeChart 2013.

We started with upgrading our Delphi 2010 and now the problems start all over as it did last time.

First we tried just to run the TeeChart2013Delphi2010.exe and then TeeChart2013SourceCode.exe. After this we got a million errors trying to load our Project.

Then we tried to uninstall everyting with TeeChart in the computer. Scanned all disks for Tee* and removed everything. Deleted all TeeChart paths in Delphi.
Tried Quick Report and it worked in a miniproject!
Run installation files TeeChart2013Delphi2010.exe and then TeeChart2013SourceCode.exe.
Run the TeeRecompile.exe and selected default settings (QRChart included)
Tried TeeChart and it worked in a miniproject!

Now we tried loading our Project again. Again we got error "Class TQRChart not found" (Ignore...)

Added to the Library Win32 Path (but it does not help):
C:\Program\Delphi\TeeChart\Source\TeeTree\Compiled\Delphi14\Lib
C:\Program\Delphi\TeeChart\Source\Sources\Compiled\Delphi14\Bin
C:\Program\Delphi\TeeChart\Source\Sources\Compiled\Delphi14\System
C:\Program\Delphi\TeeChart\Source\Sources
C:\Program\Delphi\TeeChart\Delphi14\Lib
C:\Program\Delphi\TeeChart\Delphi14\QuickReport

Please help! Why is this so hard to get up and running. We bought it with source code because we hoped it would help avoiding these problems.

After i run TeeRecompile, am I supposed to do anyting more to make it work?

Best regards, Mikael

Hello Mikael,

We are investigating it and we'll try to improve TeeRecompile to support all the combinations.

We'll also prepare the packages to integrate the TeeChart Standard version shipped with XE5, and publish them aside with the others in the TeeChart Standard integration for QuickReport section here.

In the meanwhile you could try to prepare the packages for the integration of TeeChart Pro into QuickReport for XE5, taking the packages for the TeeChart Standard shipped with XE4 from the page above (direct link here), and you could modify them to be for TeeChart Pro for XE5.

In the same section of the mentioned download page you'll find the QuickReport instructions that may help you to understand how the dependences and names should be.

However, if you find any problem in the process, don't hesitate to let us know and we'll try to build and publish them next week.

Ok, thanks for the reply!

But by immediate problem is to get my Delphi 2010 system in order again after the TeeChart 2013 upgrade!
Any solutions for this?

To get it working in the Delphi XE5 Environment will be my next Project!

Best Regards, Mikael

Hello!

Please help me with this installation issue! My project is not compilable and we need to deliver ASAP!

Found a help PDF about installing TeeQRChart so I started with loading the Tee9QR5D14.dpl file and compile it. I then get the following error:
[DCC Error] E2466 Never-build package '.Tee9QR5D14' requires always-build package 'QR5RunD2010'

I checked and i have a file QR5RunD2010.dcu in my Library - Win32 Path (built today).

What to do?

Best regards, Mikael

Hi,

Please, give it a try to the packages here:

I actually found another way around it! I changed the compiler directive in DclTee9QR5D14 from {$IMPLICITBUILD OFF} To {$IMPLICITBUILD ON} and then it compiled!

Please, it would be very noice if your TeeRecompile would work! It doesn't event give a warning or error when including QRChart despite the fact it's not working!

I've tried the packages I mentioned with QuickReport v5 and TeeChart v2013.08 in Delphi 2010 and they compile and install without problems.
But thanks for sharing your solution too!

Yes, we'll try it.

Hello again!

So eventually I got the TeeChart2013 compiled and working with QuickReport.....

But then I needed some fixes in the latest build so I downloaded the TeeChart2013SourceCode.exe, November 19, 2013 and TeeChart2013Delphi2010.exe, November 19, 2013.

I first run the TeeChart2013Delphi2010 and installed in the same directory as the last build. Then i run the TeeChart2013SourceCode and installed in the same directory as the last build.

After this my environment was unusable again. When starting D2010 it failed to load somethong with TeeChart, I think it was TQRChart (as usual).

I then tried to run the TeeRecompile.exe with QuickReport included. It completes without errors but D2010 still fails on startup as before.

I then opened Tee9QR5D14.dproj and compiled, it faild but when changing to {$IMPLICITBUILD ON} it comiles without error.
Then I opened DclTee9QR5D14.dproj and tried to build it. I then got "[DCC Fatal Error] TeeQRTeeReg.pas(17): F2084 Internal Error: U2186".

Please help! Why is it so hard to get the TQRChart to work! I spend days on getting this working each time I do an upgrade!

Hi,

I already had these packages compiled with TeeChart Pro v2013.09:

compiled_QR5D14.zip

(928.48 KiB) Downloaded 729 times

Then, I've installed TeeChart Pro Source Code v2013.09 and they still seem to work fine for me here.

If they don't work for you, please let us know.
