Codegear RAD Studio help system is corrupted - delphi

I've been using Codegear RAD Studio for a over a year now but since the "May08 Help Update" the help system no longer works. If I open the help the contents pane is entirely blank. If I hit F1 I get the following error: "Unable to interpret the specified HxC file."
I've searched for the answer using search engines and the Codegear forums but so far nothing seems to fix the problem. I'd rather not do a full reinstall if possible. Has anyone else experienced this issue and know how to fix it?

It sounds like you need to do a complete uninstall/reinstall. Alas.
Be sure to check http://docs.codegear.com for the latest in Delphi help. On that site you can also download the Delphi 2007 help in various forms, including PDF and CHM.

You probably got a corrupted file from the download. I would try download again and reinstall the help.

problems with zip component in delphi 2010

I am a new to the world perosana delphi'm trying to migrate an application module delphi delphi 4 to 10 and among the problems is throwing me a message at "dxDbZipImage.pas" that tells me not find the file "AbZipper.dcu ". Actually I have no idea how to solve this. Thank you very much for your time and help, and sorry for my terrible English.
It seems your old project has a third part component called "AbZipper". If you don't have the AbZipper.dcu file, you can try to download the source for this component. I've googled and found this AbZipper Pas download.

Troubles with Delphi Chromium Embedded

I'm new to StackOverflow, and generally find the answers I'm looking for here. Except this time. I'm confuzzled. Here goes:
Some weeks back, I downloaded Revision 306 of Delphi Chromium Embedded, and installed it on a fresh copy of Delphi XE. Now, this was grabbed from the "Downloads" section of the DCEF Google Code page.
First thing I noticed was that the site mentions that Delphi XE is supported, but there is no project package included specifically for XE. Naturally, I installed the package meant for Delphi 2010, as the one for XE2 won't work due to FMX, and perhaps a few other things (?).
Having used an older build on D7 in the past, I naturally dropped a TChromium on the form, set the default URL to http://foundry-local/assist/node/, and ran the app. Here's what I was greeted with:
Exception EExternal Exception in libcef.dll ... External Exception 80000003.
Couldn't post anything in their new Google Group (they disabled the issue tracker on the Code page), so I thought I'd come here to figure out what happened. But just before that, I decided to checkout the latest code-build from the trunk. Installed it successfully (still no package for XE), dropped a TChromium on a blank form, and ran the app. This time I was greeted as follows:
Exception EReadError in module FoundryAssistNodeManager.exe at 0004BE24. Error reading Chromium1.Options.AcceleratedCompositingEnabled: Invalid property path.
And hence: I am really confuzzled.
(Edit: The app can see the core libraries, and they are being picked up.)
Has anybody else been having problems using DCEF on Delphi XE? If so, anyone had some kind of solution?
See, I'm building a customised help platform for my to-be-released products. Using IE is unreliable, and Gecko's components are no longer in development.
Any tips, guidelines would be great. Thanking you all in advance.
Technically speaking, this is not an answer to my question, but I feel it is necessary to show viewers of this question the best route to take.
Quite simple really: Upgrade to DCEF3.
Some developers local to me have also reported the same problem, with no apparent fix. Using version 3 solves the problem.
To the commenters above, thank you for helping as far as you could. Much appreciated.

Install SynEdit into Delphi 2010 - SynEdit_R2010.bpl is missing

I am attempting to install SynEdit_D2010 into my Delphi 2010 IDE, and I get an error stating that the program can't start because SynEdit_R2010.bpl is missing from my system.
As far as I can tell, SynEdit_R2010.bpl is not missing on my system, and I even have it in my $(BDSCOMMONDIR)\Bpl directory. However, for some reason Delphi doesn't seem to think it is there!
Any ideas how i can solve this?
Are you sure all your directories are correctly defined ?
I think the BPL has to be visible in the project.

Why does the Delphi XE2 IDE crash in msimg32.dll?

After installation of the Update 3 for Delphi XE2 I get the following error and the IDE does not want to start.
I tried installing the standard Delphi XE2 with Update 1 and the problem persists. Do you have any idea what is causing this?
It looks like the file got corrupted somehow. I just checked my Win 7 64-bit Pro, and there are two copies of msimg32.dll found, 1 each in System32 and SysWOW64, both dated 7/13/2009 and version 6.1.7600.16385. So it appears they haven't been updated recently.
The actual error message you're getting is related to access denied, and the second one is DLL initialization failed, which is probably a result of the first one; the IDE isn't loading because the DLL can't be loaded.
My only suggestions are: 1) open a support case with Embarcadero (as an installation related problem, the support is free), or 2) reinstall Delphi from scratch, run it once to create registry entries, and then reinstall Update 3. I don't think anyone here is going to be much help; I'm not finding anything in searches related to Update 3 and this dll, so it seems to be just you having the issue.
Just delete msimg32.dll in delphi_install_dir\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\9.0\bin folder.
This file shouldn't be there if you are doing everything correctly.

Delphi 2007 IDE crashes when I try to use "Find References" under Search menu

After upgrading to Windows 7 all seems to work in my Delphi 2007 version except this one.
I know that 2007 is not build for win 7 but I'm not sure that the OS is the reason. My friend is using it without a problem.
When I use "Find Local References" all is fine.
Do you know a fix for this? Some dll registration may be?
I found the solution!
When I used Refactor -> Rename menu delphi didn't blew up but kindly show me the error. Unavailable interface call with the name of it.
So after short research I've registered 2 tlb files and all is working now.
..CodeGear\RAD Studio\5.0\bin\Borland.Studio.ToolsAPI.tlb
..CodeGear\RAD Studio\5.0\bin\Borland.Studio.Interop.tlb
I used tregsvr.exe for the registration without a problem under my x64 system.
P.S. I still wonder what else is not registered during the installation .. hopefully all is good.
