Dashboard is not detecting Delphi is installed

Hi,

I installed Delphi 13 and I'm using the latest versions of the Dashboard app and Smart Setup.

When I open the dashboard and click the settings button nothing happens, the configuration screen does not open.

I deleted the dashboard registry key and when I opened the Dashboard and clicked the setup button it opened the configuration screen. I added the required data and that worked. However, it did not detect that I have Delphi 13 installed and when I close and reopen the Dashboard the settings button goes back to not working again. So, I cannot use the dashboard at all to install or update anything.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling both Smart Setup and the Dashboard and that didn't fix anything. Deleting the Dashboard registry key allows me to open the configuration screen but when I close the configuration screen I cannot reopen it.

In Smart Setup configure tms.config.yaml - there is a "delphi version" section.
(you can find this file in your TMS Setup directory and edit there also)
I changed the end of this section to...

   #- delphi11
    - delphi12
    - delphi13

because I use D12 and D13 only - set it matching your needs.
Then the installation in D13 went fine.

Thanks, the problem ended up being when I uninstalled Smart Setup I didn't check if there were still any files in the Smart Setup directory tree. After I uninstalled again and deleted the entire directory tree for Smart Setup and reinstalling Dashboard started working again.
