Hi,
I know it is the holidays but someone on this list might see me and take pity. I naively thought I would try out the Delphi 2010 trial while I had a bit of spare time over the holidays. Installing and activating wasn't exactly a painless experience but I got there in the end. However worse was to come because when I came to install the latest Developer Express version it wouldn't show any packages or component in the IDE. Turned out (after much messing around) that the "fully functional" (QFT) Delphi 2010 trial doesn't include a real dcc32.exe. The only work around from the DevExpress website is to manually build and install all 50 or so DevExpress packages in the correct order (along with various other manual steps such as moving the source files around to different directories). Since our own custom packages also use a dcc32 build script to install I would also need to manually setup those (although at least there are less of them and I know them better!). I'm talking to Embarcadero support but I'm not hopeful. The idiocy of making me jump through such hoops to trial their software in the official way makes my brain hurt. I've already spent 2 hours on the activation woes and diagnosing the DevExpress problem and I imagine several more to come if I manually build the packages. Meanwhile presumably a pirated version off the internet would have none of these obstacles and save me 4-5 hours of messing around! Anyway, I'll save the full rant for another day. My question is this: Is anyone able to offlist confidentially send me a zipped and passworded copy of DCC32.exe from Delphi 2010 (or possibly 2009 although I'm not confident that would work)? I say zipped and passworded just so it can get past any spam filters (use a password like "trial" or something and let me know what it is?) If you can I would be forever grateful. I've only got a few days of holidays to experiment with and this is all really frustrating. Regards, David.
