RBAddOns not working

rbuser

After upgrading to v6.01, I cannot get the RBAddOns working. I have tried
to reinstall them, but still no go. When I try to activate the package, I
get an 'Entry Point Not Found' error on @Ppmetab@initialization$qqrv in
fbRCL55.bpl. Anyone know what I need to do?

This is usually caused by not uninstalling the previous version of RB before
installing the latest one. I suggest you uninstall, then make sure all the
files "rb*.bpl" are gone before installing again. Rebuild your application
and it should work OK.

Mike,

As I understand it, RB uninstalls the prior version before installing the
new version -- is that not correct? RB is working just fine -- it is only
the RBAddOn product that doesn't work. I just uninstalled RBAddOn again,
reinstalled it, no go. Then I recompiled it, still no go. Do you think
that I may need to uninstall and reinstall RB again just to get RBAddOn to
work?

Thanks,

Bill

RB does uninstall the files it installs, but any custom packages are not
removed, in my experience. I haver had exactly the same problem as you
quote, and it was solved by uninstalling, searching the hard disk for all
bpl's and dcu's and deleting them, reinstalling RB and rebuilding. Hope it
works for you!

Mike,

I just uninstalled both RB and RBAddOn, then removed all the RB*.bpl files
on my system and reinstalled both. Same problem. I'm not sure what else to
try. Thanks for your help, though.

Bill,
I don't know if this is the **correct** way to do it, but it worked for me:
With RB6.01 installed and working -
Set the DCP and BPL environment to RBAddOn\Source
Recompile both .dpks
Copy or move the resulting DCUs to RBAddOn\Lib
Copy or move the resulting BPLs to Windows\System

Roger,

Thanks! It was copying the BPL's that I missed. Everything is working
great agin, so I would say that this is absolutely the correct way to do it.
:-)

Thanks again,

Bill
