install problems about skia4delphi

[Mr-KultiVator]

• Remove the entire line that contain asl.log in your enviroment.proj.
• Save the file but be sure it does not take the extension txt.
• Make the file Read Only.
• Install.
• Remove attribute Read Only.

I hit this same problem on my secondary dev machine... but can confirm that the steps above worked for me.

First, I apologize for the installation inconvenience.

Right now, we've released a new version with several fixes/improvements included in the setup.

Hopefully this will resolve most installation issues in this new release. I would appreciate it if someone with problems in the previous version would give feedback on this new one.

I have the same issue - the installer shows message to report the error - someone has already uploaded the screen grab above. And then I am shown the following BuildLogs.txt. Is there a way to avoid this error? I have already tried installing without IDE running, as administrator, etc.

Install for Delphi 11.

To be able to install without errors, I had to prohibit Setup to override file "enviroment.proj" in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Embarcadero\BDS\22.0\ by making it read only and after install remove read only for Bds to run.

That worked for me !thanks

@limelect Are you trying to install manually? If so, do you need to follow the steps in manual installation documentation, especially the step 5:

5. Open RAD Studio, go to Tools > Options... > IDE > Environment Variables, and:

   5.1. Click New..., and add the variable name SKIADIR, and in variable value put your Skia4Delphi full path (eg C:\skia4delphi), and click OK. From here, we'll call this path as [skia4delphi_root] in this documentation. But remember: in the step that is written [skia4delphi_root], it must be filled with full path (without environment variables);

   5.2. Still in the Environment Variables page, in the User System Overrides section, find the PATH variable and double click to change it. You need to add the these three folders (full path) at the beginning:

   • [skia4delphi_root]\Binary\Win32\Release;
     eg C:\skia4delphi\Binary\Win32\Release;
   • [skia4delphi_root]\Library\[rad_version_name]\Win32\Release\Bpl;
     eg C:\skia4delphi\Library\RAD Studio 11.0 Alexandria\Win32\Release\Bpl;
   • [skia4delphi_root]\Library\[rad_version_name]\Win64\Release\Bpl;
     eg C:\skia4delphi\Library\RAD Studio 11.0 Alexandria\Win64\Release\Bpl;

   5.3. Click OK and Save;

But, again I always recommend the automatic installation done by Skia4Delphi_3.0.0_Setup.exe that you will always found in releases page

[limelect]

used exe same problem
what the dll for?
dll source?

[viniciusfbb]

The error occurs when trying to change the RAD Studio registry. Didn't you run it with the IDE open? Also see if the problem resolves when running as administrator.

[limelect]

same problem

1. closed Delphi
2. run as administrator
3. window 7
4. got this

[limelect]

Install for Delphi 11.?????
I install it for 10.2!!!!

There was an error editing the environment variables of your registry. I need you to send me the values of some records:

1. Open the RegEdit (search for "regedit.exe" in windows search)
2. Access the key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Embarcadero\BDS\19.0\Environment Variables
3. Send me a print screen, and also paste here the content of PATH, inside this registry

[enri690]

When you click on the OK button where it reads "Please, report this issue", does it open a webpage containing more info about the error?

Strangely, setup doesn't edit the enviroment.proj file, it only edits the registry that RAD Studio reads when loading "enviroment.proj".

[limelect]

Yes it opens a webpage
path
$(PUBLIC)\Documents\Embarcadero\InterBase\redist\InterBase2017\IDE_spoof;$(PATH)

[enri690]

Setup rewrites that file every time, and then I think it is unable to parse it correctly

[enri690]

same problem

1. closed Delphi
2. run as administrator
3. window 7
4. got this

Before doing this try to make the file "enviroment.proj" Read Only

[limelect]

I did readonly
sorry same problem

[limelect]

Let's go to my original question what so complicated with install
by hand?
Never had such a problem.
something is definitely wrong with the install source

[viniciusfbb]

definitely wrong with the install source

Interesting! Apparently dcc32.exe is changing this file while compiling via command line. I'll study what may be happening, can you send me the original enviroment.proj and the one modified by setup?

There's no problem with the manual installation, it's just that it's common to skip some steps, especially step 5. The documentation I sent you describes the step by step very well.

[limelect]

where is it? "The documentation I sent you describes the step by step very well."?

[limelect]

And lastly
Since all components compiled OK
I moved all dcp and BPL to
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\19.0\Bpl
And try to load the components bpl.
All gave me an RTL error. (main Delphi bpl)

We are doing some tests and will release a new version by tomorrow with some corrections and with the generation of logs by the setup to facilitate the analysis of this type of problem.

For now, manual installation is the alternative. You will find the documentation for manual installation here: https://github.com/skia4delphi/skia4delphi/blob/main/Documents/INSTALLATION.md#manual

[viniciusfbb]

Excellent! I will close the topic but any new problem feel free to open a new issue.
