can help?

i Try install to "rMyCleanConfig" with "C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\23.0\bin\bds.exe" -pDelphi -rMyCleanConfig

Sorry, I cannot reporoduce it in any way. DO you have abother machine to do the test? Did you use the latest repo version?

[marcosnielsen]

Yes I understand, That's why I sent the video showing what happened in the IDE

Did you use the latest version of the repository? Yes!

The worst part is that this error message does not show a trace or a log to identify whether it is a Windows DLL or an access violation in the IDE.

it just appears.

I will test this same installation process on a VM with Windows 11 PT-BR (Brazilian Portuguese) and report the result here.

Thank you for your time spent on this issue,

🛠️ Technical Feedback – Runtime error 236 at %s when using multiple RAD Studio versions

Hi @danieleteti,

I'd like to share some feedback that may help others encountering the following error:

"Runtime error 236 at %s"

✅ Scenario

I had two versions of RAD Studio installed on the same machine:

• Delphi 11 (Alexandria)
• Delphi 12 (Athens)

While installing and using components that rely on .bpl packages, I started getting the runtime error mentioned above.

🧩 Identified Cause

After investigating, I discovered that the issue was related to the order of paths in the Windows PATH environment variable.

RAD Studio installers automatically add different directories to the PATH variable depending on the installed version:

• Paths for Delphi 11 BPLs
• Paths for Delphi 12 BPLs

This mix causes conflicts when loading libraries from different versions, resulting in runtime errors.

🛠️ Applied Solution

I manually adjusted the PATH environment variable to prioritize the directories of the version I'm actively using (in this case, Delphi 12).

After correcting the order of the paths, both installation and execution worked correctly.

💡 Suggestion

It would be great if the RAD Studio installers:

• Avoided adding paths from different versions to the global PATH environment variable by default, or
• At least warned users about potential conflicts when multiple versions are installed
