Forgive me is this is addressed elsewhere, I’ve only just started with SmartSetup (because you have forced me to!). Running tms doctor on my system results in the following warnings:
====
[INFO ] [2026-06-04 18:10:03.049] The folders "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\18.0\Bpl" and "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\18.0\Bpl" contain the following duplicated files: "AbbreviaD240.bpl", "AbbreviaFMXDDesign240.bpl", "AbbreviaVCLD240.bpl" and "AbbreviaVCLDDesign240.bpl"
[INFO ] [2026-06-04 18:10:03.049] The folders "D:\TMS Unicode Component Pack\bpl" and "D:\TMS Unicode Component Pack\bpl" contain the following duplicated files: "TMSUnicodeDED2007.bpl"
====
The folders mentioned are identical, and the duplicates are identical.
Running tms doctor - fix I am asked to choose which to delete out of two identical paths in each case.
Do I need to worry about these warnings, and are they going to prevent an update installation.
Hi,
tms doctor is an independent tool to try to diagnose issues in your machine. It won't affect the install process at all, and if it is a false positive like here, it doesn't matter.
It is strange that it is reporting duplicated bpls, but our theory is that maybe the folders are duplicated in your Windows Path? This particular check goes through all entries in the Windows Path, and checks the bpls inside. If you have a path like:
c:\one;C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\18.0\Bpl;c:\two;C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\18.0\Bpl
I can see that error happening. Could this be the case? Can you check if C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\18.0\Bpl and D:\TMS Unicode Component Pack\bpl aren't repeated in your Windows Path?
The windows path is composed by a system windows path + a user windows path.
You can see your full windows path (system + user) by writing PATH in cmd.exe
You can see them both if you write "environment variables" in the start menu, then press the "environment variables" button:
