Hello,

I always face this problem due to FastReports. I need to recompile Fastreports (first make sure to delete the TeeChart associated files in FastReports) for the error to disappear. So maybe it is a problem with another component that was compiled with the previous version of TeeChart?

Kindest regards

Hello,

If I remove TeeChart everything works fine so TeeChart is doing something or ?
Well, TeeChart installer tries to clean any remaining path from a previous TeeChart installation from the IDE, and to add the correct paths.
A common cause for this to fail is that the user may haven't ran the installer with high privileges so the register couldn't have accessed. Another possible cause is, of course, a bug in the installer, that could be adding wrong paths or something else unattended. This is more probable in beta or prerelease versions.
Another common cause, is that a project may contain the paths to TeeChart hardcoded into the project files.
And of course, another cause are the third party tools that use TeeChart. They are compiled with an specific TeeChart version and when the user changes it, all the packages using TeeChart have to be recompiled.

Does this error happens each time you upgrade TeeChart? If recompiling FastReports solves the problem, it seems to be FastReports (or concretely the TeeChart integration it includes) the component that is causing the problem.

Hello Yeray,

Yes, every single time I get this error, but I mentioned to help the user as just recompiling FastReports does not do the trick for me. For some strange reason I first have to manually delete dclfrxtee*.bpl and dclfstee*.bpl and then recompile to solve the issue. So, yes it is an issue of another package linked to a previous version of TeeChart but it needs extra care to make it work :)

Kindest regards
