So I have Delphi XE (no number) and I have a project that was built on another machine (using JVCL components). Now, my machine is a Windows 8.1 (64 bits), and the previous machine was Windows XP (32 bits).
Of course I want to be able to continue developing the app, but for that I need the JCL/JVCL to be installed here too.
Now comes my problem. When I run the installer (bat) of JCL, it starts ok, but it does not show any options, so when I click the Install button nothing happens, and I get a message saying the installation finished. But of course nothing is installed.
This is how the installer looks on my x64 machine:
What can I do to install this JCL on a win64 machine? I am very sure that this is the problem: the OS. Because on 32bit OS (Windows XP) I have no problem installing it.
I looked it up, but could not find a straightforward solution. There might be a problem with some registry where the installer looks for the location of Delphi ?!?! but I have no idea how to fix it.
I need to install the JVCL, but it wont install unless I have JCL installed first... and the JCL does not install
Please help me.
Thank you

I have attempted to install Jedi into Delphi 11, it goes through the installation process and Getit reports it as installed but it does not appear in the component palette. I have Jedi installed in Delphi 10.4.
Both JEDIVisualComponentLibrary and JEDICodeLibrary (Both JCL-2021.09) have been copied to the CatalogRepository but looking in the Options\language\Delphi\library none of the JediVCL libraries were entered and and only the 32 bit version of the CodeLibrary.
I entered the paths in Options/Language/Delphi/Library and restarted Delphi but none of the Jedi VCL controls appeared on the Palette.
Tried running uninstall from GetIt but nothing seems to happen then it says Done. Where do I find the actual Install/Unistall programs?
How do I clear out the Jedi Libraries and what is the best way to install them.
Got into your same situation and I didn't find JVCLInstall.exe either.
I went into folder:
..\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\22.0\CatalogRepository\JEDIVisualComponentLibraryJVCL-2021.09\install\JVCLInstall
and opened JVCLInstall.dproj in Delphi 11 IDE. I run it from there and a JVCL install wizard poped up. I went through it and, despite some warnings, I got the components installed and available after closing and opening the IDE.
I migrated all my components from one pc to another. On the old pc the Jedi JCL installer will correctly detect a Delphi XE2 installation and will show its tab, but on the new pc it does not (it only recognizes a Delphi 7 installation). Notice that on the new pc when I run the jcl install.bat it will use the Delphi XE2 compiler to create the installer exe.
What step can I do to have this sorted out?
The version of Jedi is the latest one at the moment that is 3.47
Problem solved by reinstalling Delphi XE2 (Full installation with registry). The problem was that I had copied the registry keys from my other pc into the new pc. The problematic key was the library key. For some reason the JCL installer did not like the paths in the library, most probably could not find the paths it expected.
I have downloaded the latest version 6.1.1 from the windows installer for 32bit. I have a problem with the installation. The installer checks for software requierements are fulfilled. Out of 4 programs it installs i.e. msys, java, postgre and CsvnEdge, csvnEdge is marked as not installed. Tough in system i can see it is installed. If I cancel the setup and start again, it fails again to find CsvnEdge.

I tried to use the Rails Installer to get a ruby on rails environment on my Windows 7 64bit today and the .exe won't run because it's made for 32bit instead of 64bit.
Update When I try to start the installer, this message pops up:
Here is the translation:
This version of the file is not compatible with the running version of Windows.
Open the system information of the computer to check if a x86 (32bit) or x64
(64bit) version of this application is neccessary and contact the software vendor.
Is there a 64bit alternative for the installer?
64bits Windows can run 32bits applications, that is what WOW64 layer provides (Windows on Windows)
However, there are specific things you can't perform, like accessing OLE or using 64bits DLLs from 32bits applications or viceversa.
If the issue you're having is connect to a MySQL installation (something you're not mentioning) you should take a look to this blog article:

Hope that helps.
I installed both the Delphi 2009 trial and actual release via the web installer when I received them and experienced the same errors when installing both.
Both times it appears that the core web installer failed when it went to spawn the additional install packages for boost, documentation and dbtools. (It brought up a findfile dialog asking for a setup.msi that didn't exist on my machine). When cancelling out of this, the installer reported a fatal error.
The uninstaller did not appear in my program list, and would did not launch from the installation folder.
Future attempts to bring up the installer had it in a state where it thought Delphi 2009 was already installed and it wouldn't correct or repair or uninstall it.
Step 1
Clean out the registry of all things Delphi 2009.
You're looking for HKLM\Software\Codegear\BDS\6.0 and everything under it. Purge the HKCU equivalent while you're at it.
Search under HKEY.CLASSES.ROOT for anything that contains "CodeGear\RAD Studio\6.0" - assuming you installed into the default folder. Purge all those items from the CLSID level.
Step 2
Clean up Windows Installer using the Microsoft Windows Installer Cleanup utility.
Step 3
I suggest a reboot at this stage.
Step 4
Try to install again.
Good Luck!
The problems seem to originate with the web installer not having all the files needed.
Download the 2009 ISO: http://cc.codegear.com/item/26049
Mounted it using this free tool from Microsoft: http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/b/6/7b6abd84-7841-4978-96f5-bd58df02efa2/winxpvirtualcdcontrolpanel_21.exe (You can burn it to a DVD too)
Then reran the installer. At this point, both the repair and uninstall worked.
