FastScript in Delphi XE8 - Works in 2006, Any tips to make it work in XE8? [Edit] #2
*Edit: This is now solved, but I leave the original message below for reference. The solution was essentially to delete all traces of FastReports (That's "Reports", not "Script") from the computer, as it was interfering with FastScript. This was actually fairly involved to do, and we did it under the supervision of someone from FastScript tech support, who was extremely helpful. If you run into the problem described below, be sure to contact their technical support and see if maybe you are experiencin
g the same issue, and how to resolve it. I hope this is helpful to you. I suggest contacting their support directly, but if you need instructions, we did take some notes that I can hunt down and send you if you send me a message requesting them (otherwise, they are not handy at the moment, and I think may contain stuff not suitable to post publically.)*

I am converting from Delphi 2006 to Delphi XE8, and am now nearing the finish line, but have one remaining major roadblock: FastScript
I use Fastscript very heavily as a way to allow our users to write scripts that can extend our software as much as they like, including creating forms and adding buttons. This is not working.
A specific problem that I have, is that code that works great in Delphi 2006 does not work in Delphi XE8. Specifically, if my script contains a reference to a "TForm", or "TBitBtn" (as well as many other components), then FastScript will return an error at runtime of "Unknown Type 'tBitBtn'" or "resource TForm not found".
I suspect that maybe unit names have perhaps changed, and I'm not including whatever defines TForm, TBitBtn, and other such items for FastScript.
Anyone else experience similar issues? Any tips here?
Thanks!
Carl.
PS: Below is a simple test application that shows the problem.

Solved - FastReports was interfering with FastScript. FastScript Tech Support helped remove all remnants of FastReports and problem went away. Contact their tech support if you need to also do this.

ZXing Barcode Scanning Library for the Delphi XE7/XE8 and Appmethod [Edit] #2
Hi Help wanted for the new Open Source barcode scan port project of the famous ZXing library!

It is fast. *Help needed* Although it works extremely well, it works currently only with one type barcode (Code 128). I only needed this one barcode so for me there is no immediate need for me to implement more types but I like to add all of them! For that I need your help!

ShowMessage/MessagDlg wordwrap Delphi 2006
Hi, I have used Delphi 2006 up to now. ShowMessage allowed a long text without a word wrapping. Now with Delphi XE I notice that a migrated program shows smaller message window sizes and a previously carefully aligned message now appears wrapped and misaligned. How to get back to the previous behaviour? I'm not experienced to create my custom form, so a code snippet may help.

How to Change Tablet App to Phone app in Delphi XE8? [Edit]

Converting Delphi 2007 Indy 10.2.3 to Delphi 2009 Indy 10.5.5 [Edit]
Hello, I am currently attempting to port over a Delphi 2007 project that uses Indy 10.2.3 (very successfully) to Delphi 2009 and Indy 10.5.5 (I just got the latest development build this morning). I think I am running into an encoding issue, but am not sure. Specifically, IDHTTP with SSL calls an old CGI and the CGI returns a .zip file and I then save it to the disk.
