I recently installed Delphi 13. I went back today to install the Help and Samples and could not.
Tools > Manage Features,,, gave me the following error:
WTF!
I remember this happening to me about 3 years ago. I was as lost today as I was back then.
How do you recover from this?
It's 2025, how can Embarcadero still let this crap happen?
A simple dialog that says "Would you like to switch to online mode instead?" which then gracefully handles the fact that the temporary ISO directory used during the initial install is no longer available.
Aren't we paying enough money for Embarcadero to put this type of fix in place?
Anyway, I dug up the old instructions Glenn Dufke posted three years ago when this happened. And his instructions worked today, just like they did back then.
If this happens to you, here is the fix:
- Open an elevated Command Prompt
Right-click Command Prompt ? Run as Administrator - Navigate to your RAD Studio 13 bin folder
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\37.0\bin" - Run the command Dufke mentioned
getitcmd.exe -c=useoffline
