Bad wording, sentence incomplete, and the word "automatically" is not translated. Suggested text:

This list does not include any keystrokes that are shown on the menus, since they're not quite as big of a problem -- they're still discoverable even when they're not documented.

there are diffenence between build in IDE and build on comandline.

Variables "ok", "VisualStudio" and "doof" are not declared.

I used SysInternals ProcessMon to look what Delphi is doing.

The Delphi IDE does not call msbuild.exe / dcc32.exe
The msbuild output in the IDE is created by Delphi IDE.

I hope you can fix it.

msbuild support without errormessages if something goes wrong is useless.

People having a slow connection or otherwise slow system might abort the installation as it seems to hang.

Registry entry for "BorlandComponents" wrong

Common Files path is hard coded in the installer.

[QC Description]
The registry entry for
"..BDS\5.0\AssemblyFolders\BorlandComponents"
points to
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\CodeGear Shared\Rad Studio\Shared Assemblies\5.0\"
while the files are actually located at
"c:\Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\CodeGear Shared\RAD Studio\Shared Assemblies\5.0\"

Description:

[QC Short Description]
Install starts if h2reg is missing

[QC Description]
The installer is not completely checking for .Net 2 SDK installation. Basically, if (like I did) one does not install the documentation from the SDK, the h2reg utility is not present.
But the installer does not check for this, then goes on to downloading everything, installing many files and then stops complaining it cannot find h2reg when installing the help files.
I think it should check for the presence of h2reg at the beginning instead of letting go.

Release mode System.pas is compiled with debug symbols

[QC Description]
When I use F7 to step through my programs I always land in the system.pas even if I haven't checked the "Use debug DCUs" checkbox in the project options. All other "release" units are compiled correctly except System.pas. And stepping through all the string and object creation/destruction-functions isn't that nice if you


This only applies to the German localization. The English version of System.pas has no problem. But the German installer installs the same file into lib\ and lib\debug\

Exception when formatting BCD numbers

[QC Description]
There is an obvious bug in the function BcdFixedOrNumberFormat (Unit FMTBcd):

function BcdFixedOrNumberFormat(const Start: string; Format: TFloatFormat; const Precision, Digits: Integer): string;
...
begin
...
if Start[1] = '-' then
begin
Inc(BufPos); // current char is ok
Inc(P);
if AddCommaDigits > 0 then
Dec(AddCommaDigits);
end;
...

If an empty string is passed as parameter "Start", the expression "Start[1]" causes an access violation.
