Making C++ Builder 6 and XE5 co-exist ?
Hello, here's my problem: I had working projects under C++ Builder 6, and tried C++ Builder XE5 (trial version). My old projects stopped compiling under Builder 6, because XE5 had changed important header files used by my projects. It even introduced new header files that changed type definitions, making my projects uncompilable (under 6). I had to uninstall everything (including builder 6), and start over again to get my projects to compile properly. Now, is there a way to install XE5 without changing anything in version 6 ? (allowing me the possibility to port my projects to XE5) ?

Each IDE version is isolated from other IDE versions (minus global shared resources, like the JIT compiler). Installing a newer IDE version does not change any files in an earlier IDE version. So the only way I can think of your problem happening is if your Includes folders are in the global system PATH, where they do not belong. Each IDE version has its own local Includes folder, and should not be looking at another version's Includes folder. > It even introduced new header files that changed type definitions, > making my projects uncompilable (under 6). System header files do change over time, so XE5 would have newer/modified header files. But a BCB6 project compiled in the BCB6 IDE should not be using XE5's header files, and vice versa. If it is, then your search paths are not configured properly to keep them isolated. > I had to uninstall everything (including builder 6), and start over > again to get my projects to compile properly.

There are plenty of people who have multiple BCB versions running side-by-side without having this problem. -- Remy Lebeau (TeamB)

Thanks for the quick reply! Well, I have my old projects compiling properly now in version 6. Will re-install XE5 to find out. Will check the system PATH variable before and after installing XE5 though!
Edit: just took a look at it (cmd window > path), and it is loaded with Borland references. Where does THAT get set, and how do I get rid of this?. I remember in DOS, it was in autoexec.bat, but haven't seen this for a looong while now...

On Windows 7: Right-click on My Computer > Properties > Advanced system settings > Environment Variables Earlier versions of Windows had a similar option in the My Computer properties dialog. Also keep in mind that modern BCB versions also have their own built-in Environment Variables on top of the system Environment Variables: Tools > Options > Environment Options > Environment Variables. -- Remy Lebeau (TeamB)

problem of converting from C++ Builder 6 to C++ Builder 2007
Hi, A program which was developed by our partner was built fine with C++ Builder 6. Now I need to make some changes to it. We bought C++ Builder 2007 a few weeks ago.

Converting from Borland C++ Builder 6 to XE5
I tested several applications developped under Borland C++ Builder 6 and all "normal" projects using forms and units compiled nicely under XE5 with a small problem that some labels or buttons seem to look slightly different. However, the few console applications I had did not compile at all. I got many "unresolved external ...." in connection with AnsiStrings. I used AnsiStrings also in the projects mentioned first, so I am sure it is a simple include-statement which I am missing in the console applicatio ns and which is different to BCB6. Any hint?

Installing 6 into existing tree hangs during install.
Okay,lemme try this again. I have a total of four servers. Two 6 and two 5.1. Right now my set up is I have one 6 server that is that master and the two 5.1 servers sit under it under one tree.

10.0.6 & 10.0.7 updates will not properly install in C++ Builder 2009
Okay, it looks like there is a problem with C++ Builder 2009 IntraWeb updates.

Everyone who has C++ Builder 2009 and has installed the new updates I need you to look at your standalone server log or your Source code on your intraweb browser, I'm betting you will see 10.0.0 instead of 10.0.7. Is there anyone at Embarcadero who can test to see if this is true? Have the updates been fully tested to make sure t...
