General
Installation Notes
Contents
The Delphi and C+Builder XE  installer can be used to
install
Delphi XE and/or C+Builder XE as well as additional software.
See Installing
Optional, Add-on Products for information on
the additional software.
The serial number you enter determines the product that will
be installed (Delphi XE,
C++Builder XE, or a bundle of the two), the product edition
(Professional,
Enterprise or Architect), and the type of license (commercial,
academic or trial).
On Windows Vista, must install as Administrator
For Windows Vista, you must run as
Administrator or be on the Administrator list to install the product.
Multiple users on one machine
The product can be installed by any licensed user with
administrator privileges, and is immediately available to all licensed
users of the same machine. It is also available to any licensed users
you might add later.
Installer requires additional temporary space
If the drive containing the folder specified in your TEMP
environment variable is low on space, the Installer might halt with an
error message noting the shortage. If this occurs, you need to
assign your TEMP variable to a folder on a drive with more disk space,
then rerun the installation. See Minimum System
Requirements for exact
specification.
Assemblies installed in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC)
Duplicate copies of assemblies installed in the GAC are
provided in the <CommonFilesFolder>\CodeGear Shared\RAD
Studio\Shared Assemblies\8.0 directory. If C:\ is your Windows drive,
the default <CommonFilesFolder> is C:\Program
Files\Common Files\.
Do Not Use Multibyte Characters in Install Paths
Do not use double-byte characters in the path or directory for
installation. Delphi and C++Builder XE are Unicode-enabled, but the
installer has not been enabled for Unicode.
Source Code for Samples is Available on SourceForge
Project samples (previously called Demos) are installed
by both the Delphi XE and the C++Builder XE installer. The samples are
also checked into Subversion at SourceForge:
https://radstudiodemos.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/radstudiodemos/branches/RadStudio_XE.
You can check this location for additions or updates to the samples.

Installing
by Using Electronic
Software Delivery
If the product is purchased using Electronic Software
Delivery, you receive a .zip file.
To install using Electronic Software Delivery:

Extract the .zip file into an empty directory on
your hard drive. Do not attempt to run the installer directly from the
.zip file without first extracting all files to a local
directory. 
Double-click the install launcher.
The install launcher will appear with buttons to
install multiple items that are part of the product. (To install the
online help, you need to return to the install launcher and select the
online help button in a separate operation from the product install.)
When prompted, enter the serial number for the product. The
serial number can be found in the order confirmation email for
electronic orders.
All the required ZIP files are downloaded from the Internet
and uncompressed.

You are asked to supply an archive location for the
install ZIP files.
Note: Backing up the
downloaded ZIP files is strongly encouraged so that in the future you
can do a reinstall without downloading all the ZIP files again.

The install proceeds automatically.

Top
Installing
by Using Purchased
Network Licenses
If you purchased a Network License (managed by the
Embarcadero License Server or FLEX) for Delphi XE or C++Builder XE,
you must follow these instructions to set up the install image, or your
users will be prompted for a serial number and will be unable to
install.
If you have a media kit:

Copy all of the DVD files to a writeable directory on your
network.
Copy the networked license .slip file
(received in your order confirmation email) to the directory where
Setup.exe is located.
When your users run Setup.exe, the product detects the
.slip file and installs the software. During installation, the .slip
file is moved to the license folder in the installation directory.

If you have an electronic
software download:

Copy over just the setup.exe and slip file into the same
directory.
Run setup and the install will read the slip to determine
which sku (product version) you have purchased.
Follow the install program instructions.
The install will copy the slip file to the correct
directory.

Top
Installing the
Online Help
The online help is now installed in a separate operation from
the main product: 

If you are using the product launcher, you need to install
the product in one operation, and then return to the launcher page and
select the help in a second operation. 
If you are using Setup.exe to
install the product, you also need to run Help_Setup.exe
to install the online help.

Top

products, and add or remove features. Choose either of the following
methods to modify
the installed product:

Known Installation Issues


You cannot have a licensed product installed and then
install a Trial version. The personality associated with the trial will
not have the files installed.


During the installation of prerequisites, the Installer
does not notify you if you have less than the required free space. If
you try to install with too little space, the install hangs. See
Minimum System
Requirements for exact specification.


C++ Boost Libraries will not
install on Vista if you do not accept the escalation request during the
install process. After an install, you should have the following
entries under Add or Remove Programs: Embarcadero RAD Studio XE, and
Boost
Libraries for C++Builder XE (if C++Builder was installed). If either of
these is missing, open a command-line window, go to where your install
files are located, and run:
boost_setup.exe (for C++Builder XE users only)


There is a known issue that will affect a small number of
users, including those with Hungarian regional options, where the
installer fails to start after preparation of the InstallAware Wizard.
To remedy this issue, open the Regional
and Language Options in the Control
Panel and temporarily switch your Regional Options setting to English.
After install, you can safely restore your regional setting.


Installation of the third-party product AQTime
might halt with the following error message:
MS Help 2.x runtime files are not installed on
this PC.
Installation/registration of Help files cannot proceed.

The AQTime product is installed at this point, but the
AQTime online help was not installed. In order to install the AQTime
online help, you need to obtain and install the AQTime online help
using the following steps:


Complete the RAD Studio product installation.

Install the Delphi and C++Builder online help. This step
installs the necessary Help 2.x runtime files (DExplore.exe).


Uninstall AQTime.


Download AQTime installer from the Registered Users
Download page (http://cc.embarcadero.com/reg/rad_studio).


Reinstall AQTime.
