Firewall had nothing to do with it - I turned it off and it didn't fix it.

What did fix it, however (and I think may be in that post I linked to) is to run Delphi as an administrator...weird as my Windows account is an administrator account. Therefore, obviously, an administrator account is not the same as THE administrator account.

Hi all,
In Delphi Community edition, 10.2.3, My application, when compiled and run as Windows 64 bit, fails with the error:
"Unable to create process", followed by the path and filename to the executable. This is both in Debug and Release.
It works perfectly fine with Windows 32 bit.
When I run it outside of Delphi, it then tells me "Bitmap image is not valid" (but this may be unrelated to the above, as it carries on running when I click OK, but without the bitmaps that work OK under Windows 32 bit).
I've looked through this post, but it was of no help:

Cheers,
Gerald.

So there's no proper way of doing it - we just need to hack with the dproj file? Not ideal.

The thought had crossed my mind. But that is fine for the smaller projects with only one or two units, but the bigger ones may prove more tricky.
I have found adding
<Platform value="Win64">True</Platform>
into the dproj file worked (for Windows 64 bit at least), but I'm not sure what else I need to add, and I don't know the tags for the other platforms. Plus I wondered if there was a 'proper' way to do it.

I've just got myself a copy of the new Community Edition of Delphi, after having used the Starter Edition for a few years. Now, of course, I'm wanting to migrate my projects to use Windows 64bit and MacOS X. However, when I load my current projects, I cannot add a new platform (the 'Add Platform' entry in the sub-menu in the project manager is greyed out), and I can't find how to make my projects multi-device.

Some questions about the Delphi 10.2:
I noticed that the new Tokyo requires .NET for Windows 10...does this mean that it will only install on Windows 10?
Will it upgrade Delphi 10.1 to 10.2, or install separately?
(bear in mind that I have Delphi 10.1 and BDS2006 installed side by side on my machine)
This is mainly aimed at the Starter version, but probably is valid for all other versions.

Support got back to me. It appears I need to un-install Berlin, and then re-install it. They sent me the following page to ensure everything is gone before I re-install:

Hope this helps others in the future that may stumble across this solution - not that I've tried it yet, of course!

It appears that I may have found the problem...although I haven't solved it yet.

For some reason, the installer installed both Delphi and C++ Starter editions onto my PC (as I have a licence for both). In fact, it wouldn't proceed originally without both. After I read that this can't be done, I uninstalled C++. No effect. I then decided to delete the C++ licence...bad idea. It now won't let me fire up Delphi as it says it can't find a licence (even though the Licence Manager says there is one, and it is registered) - it just won't accept the Delphi licence as valid.

So, I've fired off a support case to, well, Support. Not entirely sure they'll help me as I'm using the free Starter edition, but one can hope.

I have just installled Delphi 10.1.2 Starter on a brand new PC, running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, loaded a previously working project and found that the run buttons are disabled. Upon compiling, I get told:
Compiler for personality "Delphi.Personality" and platform "Win32" missing or unavailable.
Funny thing is, when I installed Delphi 10.1.2 on another PC, previously, I got just that - Delphi. Now, it seems, I've got RAD Studio.
This setup is the exact same as another PC (Windows 7 Pro 64bit), and both have BDS2006 installed. The other one works OK.
I have noticed a fix elsewhere that suggests a windows environment variable 'PLATFORM' be removed - that does not exist on my system. Both systems have BDS2006 also installed.

Hi David,
You mentioned in an earlier post, in this thread, that Update 2 was not available for the free Starter edition. However, I have the free version, and I've been allowed to download Update 2 installer (although I haven't tried installing it yet). So, can you clarify this please?
Cheers,
Gerald.
