Installation Error when iOSSimulator not checked.

FLX TMS FlexCel for VCL & FMX
1
I am installing FlexCel 7.6.2 into Delphi 10.4.  I selected a full installation and I unchecked iOSSimulatior and iOSDevice64.

The build process failed with the final message in the log shown below.

Can I assume that the Win32 and Win64 parts installed correctly or do I have to install iOSSimulatior and iOSDevice64 as well. My Delphi installation only includes the Win32 and Win64 platforms.

Hi,


Sadly if the setup doesn't end correctly the final registration steps are not done, so no, win32/64 are not installed correctly.

But this is really strange: If you unselected iOS simulator in the setup, it shouldn't try to install the iOS simulator. I should know, I normally don't select it when testing installations. 

Just to be 100% sure, I installed FlexCel in a clean VM selecting only win32/64, and the log doesn't mention anything about iOS. We haven't heard this from other customers either, it should be a common issue as a lot of users don't have iOS or mobile installed.

So if you haven't yet, and before digging deeper, can you retry installing the setup making 100% sure iOS is not selected?

Hi,

I tried reinstalling and everything worked ok.

I am writing instructions on how to recreate the development environment and I must have got mixed up between doing the actual installation and writing the notes.

Thanks for the fast reply and I'm sorry to have bothered you.
