To fix, paste the following string into the Browsing path field for 64-bit Linux: To be safe, you should make a backup of your HCKU\Software\Embarcadero\BDS registry key before installing the latest version if you have a lot of component paths to maintain.Īs documented in the Installation Notes, there is a current problem with 64-bit Linux Paths being incomplete if you use the ISO based installer. There are some reports like RSP-32778 of the Win32 Paths being the only paths properly saved during an install. If you manually uninstall the software, then you need to manually run the Migration Tool to save your settings before uninstalling the old version. When the installer runs, it automatically looks for previous versions and will prompt you to remove the previous registry settings (it defaults to “no”) before it automatically uninstalls the old version for you.

That does seem like a reasonable action, but it is wrong.

There are quite a few people that realize a full uninstall is needed before installing 10.4.2 so they go ahead and manually uninstall 10.4.1 and then install 10.4.2. The good people at Code Partners recently put out a post covering various installation issues, including where to download the latest version (tldr my.) Check out their post here: There always seems to be many issues related to installing the latest version. I am quite thrilled with the latest 10.4.2 release of Delphi as there is a lot to love in this new version! However, there are some stumbling blocks which I wanted to document in a quick blog post to save a few people some time.
