How to fix a corrupt Delphi 2009 Install - delphi

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.

RAD Studio 10.4.2 Community Edition cannot make a new delphi project

Submenu File -> New contains only "Other..." and "Customize" items.
How to correct this?
My OS is Windows 10.0.17763.107.
Old version is 10.2 with same problem.
Installed new version 10.4.2, in process of installation of Delphi Community, I have error at Roboto Font downloading:
[403] Forbidden
I pinged this address of Getit found in the registry: https://getit-104.embarcadero.com
It is not responding! Ok, changing to getit.embarcadero.com, the result is negative.
It seems that your Delphi installation hasn't finished properly. Either it was interrupted or Licence manager didn't manage to verify your Community licence properly.
You could try fixing your licence using Licence Manager that you can find inside Delphi folder. If my memory serves me correctly it is located withing BIN subfolder (don't have access to development machine at the moment to verify).
But if the installation proces itself is getting interrupted you might want to download ISO installation instead of Online installation. When installing latest version of Delphi I had to use ISO installation since Web installation kept loosing connection. I suspect my AV Software (ESET Internet Security) with integrated firewall might be the cause.

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.

Got msvcr120.dll missing wamp error while installing wamp on windows 10 OS

I tried to setup wamp in my windows 64 bit operating system form the below link
http://www.wampserver.com/en/
While setting up it is alerting msvcr120.dll missing wamp error.
Can any one provide how could I fix this issue?
You are missing at least one of Microsofts MSVC C/C++ Runtime libraries required to run Apache/PHP or MySQL.
Look here on the WAMPServer backup repo Down at the bottom you will find a link called
All VC Redistribuable Packages (x86_x64) (32 & 64bits)
Download that ZIP file, it contains all the needed installs for all the needed MSVC Runtimes.
Unzip it, then run each MSVC Runtime version install One-at-a-Time in logical version number order, oldest first.
If you see a dialog saying that the version is installed click the REPAIR button to make sure its correctly installed.
As you are using a 64bit windows and a 64bit WAMPServer, you MUST install BOTH the 32bit AND 64bit MSVC Runtimes.
Once all these are installed, uninstall WAMPServer, manually delete the C:\wamp64 folder and then reinstall WAMPServer. This is required to be absolutely sure that the install works correctly, as without these MSVC Runtimes parts of the install can fail.
Small Note
The first dialog shown by the Install does actually tell you to make sure these runtime libraries are installed before continuing with the install.
During install u after 2 nd step focus on the 3rd step download all link software which start from c++ in it download all which is available and skip when u see error or file not found after all install done u should do further process and its done

Delphi XE2 can not load CnPack

I have a fresh win 10 installation with Delphi XE2.
I tried to install CnPack but there was no chance (It says couldn't find wizard):
Also registry is OK and the file is in there and the permissions are OK.
Its version is CnWizards_1.1.3.896 which is currently the latest version.
I have tried older versions as well but there was no chance.
Any idea ?
I had the same problem and I got it to resolve to do this.
I downloaded the Source file and the Installer file.
I used this version 1.1.3.896.
First I open the source in Delphi and Compile, Build and Install the following components.
CnPack_DXE2.dpk. (Compile and Build)
CnWizards_DXE2.dpr (Compile and Build)
dclCnPack_DXE2.dpk (Compile, Build and Install)
Execute the Installer file.
Now, this is the secret for me.
Replaced the files (CnWizards_DXE2.dll).
In the Third Step, it creates CnWizards_DXE2.dll (CnWizards\bin). Copy this file and paste in the local installation ([program files\CnPack\CnWizards]).
I created the mini tutorial in Portuguese for this situation, if necessary I can send it for you.
Sorry, my English is not good.
Bye for now

ASP.MVC Beta Install Problems

I've just downloaded the ASP.MVC MSI package, but the installation fails with the "There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." message.
I see that other people too have the same problem (http://forums.asp.net/p/1336453/2699267.aspx). Anybody else?
I'm running VS 2008 Professional edition with SP1 on Vista.
Some additional info: entries like Error in Template (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\VisualBasic\Workflow\1033\StateMachineWorkflowLibrary.zip), file (StateMachineWorkflowLibrary.vstemplate). Unregistered ProjectType (VisualBasic). This can be caused by an incorrect ProjectType or because the project type package is not installed. appear in the event log.
BTW I don't have VisualBasic installed. I'm thinking about reinstalling VisualStudio ... :|
I removed all the bad templates and this didn't resolve the issue for me. I found that removing other Add-Ins I had installed let me install Beta 1. In my case the bad add-in preventing the install was Clone Detective.
I had this exact error message from a completely different MSI package - the DevExpress toolkit - turned out to be caused by one of the "defensive" packages installed on my machine.
Check your anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-intrusion, firewall, anti-xxx etc etc packages to see if any of them might be stopping scripts from running properly.
Hope this helps.
The installer is trying to add templates to the VB package without checking to see if it exists first (ScottGuuuuuuu!).
If the rest of MVC is installed and working, forget about it. If not, you don't have to reinstall VS. A quick fix is to simply install Visual Basic (e.g, modify your installation rather than reinstall it).
Okey, like Simon said, Clone Detective addin was the troublemaker which prevented the installation of ASP MVC. I deinstalled Clone Detective and now MVC has installed without problems. Thanks guys!
