I have just upgraded Lazarus from SVN revision 14914 to 15028 and the dialogs (Package dialogs, Tools->Configure build Lazarus, Environment and Editor options Debugger Options, Code Templates) no longer opened.
This happened for me using both 32-bit XP (SP2) and Vista 64 (32-bit mode), but not under linux. I spent considerable time trying to fix the issue, included trying to revert to a previous build. Nothing worked. I eventually renamed the install directory, and loaded a new copy of Lazarus (via SVN). Copied the extra library directories and re-installed them (my previous efforts had lost some of the library definitions). Lazarus then ran with the installed packages. This issue mainly effect the packages and appeared to related to the migration of the XML files from the install root directory into AppData. Possibly having both the old and new XML files was a problem. Is there some change/enhancement that could be done to prevent this happening to other users? One thought was to remove the unused files. The other question, moving to AppData I can understand, particularly on Vista, but you have moved all files under the current user. If the PC was to be shared (not an issue for me personally), then the installed package information is stored under the users personal profile, while the executable is stored in a shared location. I realize that changes cause problems, but should the installed packages be saved under "All Users" so that Lazarus will build consistently?
