Below is my post that I was posting regarding how I screwed up the installation. Long story short: The file repository in \ public was corrupt. I uninstalled and then manually deleted the repository and then installed platforms one at a time,
..........................................................................................................................................................................
I am being unsuccessful at installing the free trial of Delphi/Rad studio.... I am going down hill. My first attempt. I neglected to select android, which is the primary purpose of this trial. Rad studio was working but obviously not giving me what I needed.
Then I made a crucial mistake. I went back and ran the installer again, thinking that it would pick up the components that I failed to install.. it got to the jdk and android sdk and wouldn't get past that...Ahhh it must be that I have installed android studio and jdk previously.... removed them and tried again.. uninstalled Rad studio....spiralling down the tube....further and further.. YEAH I know I should have read the directions but not having to read directions has always been one of dephi's key advantages.
I tried to clean everything up and start from scratch... It installs the basic files but no platform support, even if I go in from the ide and tell it to just install delphi 32 for windows. I can see a page flip by before it says "operation error"..
Is there any log file that will give me a clue as to how to fix this.. Or any pertinent advice that is not "wipe system"
If I wasn't a longtime Delphi fan I would give up.
thanks
