SynEdit won't install in Delphi 10.1 Berlin Starter Update 1


I'm trying to install SynEdit into my newly upgraded Delphi 10.1 Berlin Starter Update 1, but it won't work. Someone else also seem to be having this problem, but I do not know how to fix it. https://forums.embarcadero.com/thread.jspa?messageID=850362

Can someone help me please? I'm trying to use the GetIt Package Manager. I also tried installing it from the source which I downloaded from the Internet.

Solution

  • So I was able to fix the problem myself after two days of struggling.

    So what I did was I completely uninstalled Delphi 10.1 Berlin Update 1 from my computer and deleted all of the files I could find which the uninstaller didn't remove and then I also downloaded the SynEdit files again from https://github.com/SynEdit/SynEdit and then I went to the GetIt Package Manager and tried to install it from there, but it still gave me an access violation error. After this I tried installing it from the downloaded source and then it seemed to work.

    So now it is fixed. Thanks.

    I'm assuming that some files somewhere were left behind from the previous version of Delphi and this needed to be removed first.
