Error in installing JEDI - please install the dependencies first - delphi

I downloaded JEDIVCL package.... according to its help i have to run install.bat from jcl folder and then run install.bat from jvcl folder. i launched install.bat from jvcl folder but i received this error:
and if run install.bat from jcl folder receive this error:
How can I solve this problem? if its possible give me steps to install this package.

Second error message is crash of Delphi compiler.
install.bat asks Delphi to compile JCL installer, but... Delphi compiler crashes.
This is definitive sign that there is a problem with your Delphi compiler!
Try to install available all updates. Also, try to open installer project in IDE and compile it from IDE (without command-line compiler).

Sounds like you have problem with your Delphi installation. If you have just installed Delphi make sure you have run it at least once.
You will need to have the DCC32.EXE command line compiler to install JCL. If I remember correctly this was not shipped in the Turbo or Trial editions of the product.
The JCL/JVCL look in the registry for the location of your Delphi Installations, some versions of Delphi update the registry on the first launch of the product.

Delphi Jedi components manual installation

I'm using Delphi CE 10.4, and it has the DCC32.exe disabled line compilation.
I'm trying to manually install Jedi components, in the readme of JCL it says that it's needed to open and edit included file to customize options, in my case, source\include\jcld27win32.inc.
I'm starting to learn Delphi, and I didn't understand whats is it is necessary to do in this file, and didn't find videos showing a manual installation.
Someone who already installed this way could help me?
Manual Installation Although it is not recommended, a manual
installation is possible. You will have to manually configure options
for the library. That is done by modifying an included file. For each
tool you want to install the JCL in, repeat the following steps:
Open and edit included file to customize options: ... For Delphi 10.4 and C++Builder 10.4 Win32: source\include\jcld27win32.inc ...
In the IDE, open and compile package Jcl.dpk (or Jcl.bpk for C++Builder) located in a subdirectory of the "packages" directory
matching your version of the IDE. This package doesn't have to be
installed since it doesn't provide any components.
If you want to install experts, open package JclBaseExpert.dpk and compile it, then you can install all the experts you want (packages
are located in the same directory).

RAD Studio 10.2.3 Jedi JVCL Install Problem

I've uninstalled my RAD Studio 10.2.2 and installed 10.2.3 in my Win10 development VM. Along the way I uninstalled all the previous 3rd-party libs, including the Jedi GetIt packages, and per the instructions got rid of all the old Jedi source and DCP/DCLs. I'm attempting to install them back into 10.2.3 via GetIt. The JCL libs install fine, but when I try to install JVCL, the installation batch file hangs after compiling the installer and the VM comes to its knees. I rebooted, started taskmgr and watched as the batch file ran - it appears to go into a loop creating many instances of msgfmt. I've tried removing it all again, downloading and installing the 3.8 version myself and running the install batch file by itself, same problem; then backing up to the 3.6 version that had installed OK in 10.2.2, and it does the same thing. If I edit the batch file to skip the language-setup section, the batch file completes OK, but trying to re-run the GetIt update causes it to re-download and replace that batch file. :(
The installer does compile before the languages part of the batch file is reached, so I tried running the installer directly. I assume I'm not passing it cmd line info it needs, because it compiles the 64-bit libs fine but chokes immediately on compiling the 32-bit version of JvCore250.bpl with an unspecified compile error.
Anyone else run into this? Is a solution known?
Turns out to ultimately be a pathing problem. When multiple installations of the IDE exist on a machine (e.g. my VM has or previously had D2007, XE2 and 10.1 on it), the PATH environment variable can be too long - edit the PATH in the system to remove the old/stale paths. Then make sure that the library paths in the IDE includes $(BDSLIB)\$(PLATFORM)\release or you'll get "can't find RTL" when building the packages.
For me the problem is generated from the msgfmt.exe of dxgettext.
msgfmt.exe generates multilanguage messages, for a multilanguage support of jvcl installation.
For the specific problem of msgfmt.exe try to see this: dxgettext and Windows 10
I resolved the problem opened the install.bat file in jvcl folder, and I commented (with ::) every line where the msgfmt is executed.
Attention:
If you use getit I suppose you have to open the folder where jvcl is downloaded and search install.bat (I didn't use getit)
Instead I downloaded jvcl directly from github in my component folder, and I did what is written above in that folder.

JediInstaller will not run

I downlaoded newest verrsion of JVCl which include JCL
As first thing, I try in jcl folder to doubleclick install.bat
It compiles and runs but then throws error:
Program can not start as rtl180.bpl is missing on the computer
I have Delphi 2010 installed here:
D:\DevTools\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\7.0
I have Delphi XE4 installed here:
D:\DevTools\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\11.0
I had many more installed in the past, but some were trials, some no longer work in Windows 10 etc. so I have been removing unwanted Delphi versions. But I have tried removing all traces.
Need to fix "System environment variables - Path" with path to bpls

Installing JVCL into Delphi 10 Seattle

When trying to install JCL and JVCL into Delphi 10 Seattle using the GetIt Package Manager I get an error:
"Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1 (6.1.7601)

"
JCL version is 2.8.0 that is available via GetIt Package Manager
This question has some resemblance with Error in JCL installation
Uncheck other versions of delphi - The JCL installer defaults to installing into EVERY version of Delphi, not just Delphi 10 Seattle. You have to page by page and uncheck the main root tree item option on each page.
Make sure you don't have any other Jedi stuff linked implicitly into other packages you have installed.
Make sure none of the folders in your Library Path contains another copy (probably older and out of date) of jvcl.inc or jedi.inc files, or any other Jedi JCL or JVCL source or dcu files.
Clean up and remove old/stale DCP/DCU files.
If you want to attempt a manual repair of the package settings, open the package source JvCore.dpk from the packages folder beneath C:\Users\Lars\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\17.0\CatalogRepository\JEDIVisualComponentLibraryJVCL-3.49\ and try to manually add to the search path the Common and Include folders that contain these two files.
After manual repairs, try manually restarting the installer main executable, probably named Install.bat
If none of those work, then I suspect that the problem is that the Repository folder is a pretty long path name, and the resulting library path name may be too long for something inside the JCL installer or the DCC32 command line compiler. In such a case, I would recommend removing anything you can from your library path before you start, install JCL+JVCL and then restore your library path to its former really-long value.
git clone git://github.com/project-jedi/jvcl.git jvcl
```
This will get you the JVCL repository. You also need the JCL https://github.com/project-jedi/jcl
How to install
Install the JCL https://github.com/project-jedi/jcl
Start the jvcl\install.bat
JCL:
git clone git://github.com/project-jedi/jcl.git jcl
cd jcl
git submodule update --init
```
This will get you the JCL repository and initializes the submodule that contains the jedi.inc and kylix.inc files.
How to install
Start the jcl\install.bat
I succeded to install JCL and JVCL by download a ziped version (JVCL349CompleteJCL27-Build5676.zip) containing both JCL and JCVL from http://jvcl.delphi-jedi.org/
The problem I had seams to relate to multible installations of Delphi and several versions of JCL in the path. If I just installed for DX, it worked fine :)
Use the GetIt Package Manager integrated in your RadStudio IDE to download JCL and JVCL, check this other question.
Finally a headeachless way to install JVCL!
Get JCL and JVCL from the source. Uncheck all no installed compilers.
This works for Embardadero 10.1 Berlin! (24)
(you could download the zip from this place)

Proper way to install JVCL 3.47 on XE3

I am trying to install JVCL 3.47 on a Delphi XE3 instance but I failed twice; I know that first I must install JCL; When I run Install.bat located in the jcl folder I get this error: "Windows cannot find '..\bin\JediInstaller.exe' ...;
I looked into bin folder but indeed JediInstaller.exe is not there; So I have opened the project JediInstaller located in "..\JVCL347CompleteJCL241-Build4571\jcl\jcl\install" and compiled it and then I started JediInstaller and installed JCL; Afer I tried to install JVCL again with opening the installer project and compiling it but again it returned an error that JCL is not installed and I don't know way because I have it installed;
When I installed JVCL 3.45 on Delphi Xe2, Win 7 it worked by opening install.bat, but now on Win8 , Delphi XE3 it doesn't work... Please somebody advise me how to install properly JVCL (I need to modify a project built with XE2 and Jvcl by the day after tomorrow).
Thanks in advance.
