TMS components not linking with C++ Builder IDE 13.1 and Win64 (modern) compiler

VCL TMS VCL UI Pack

Hi, I just installed C++ Builder 13.1 along with VCL UI Pack 13.6.5.1 (installed using Smart Setup GUI). After dropping a TAdvStringGrid and a TWebUpdate on the main form of a new project I get the following linker errors:

[ld.lld Error] ld.lld: error: C:\Users\Robin\AppData\Local\TMS Setup\Products\tms.vcl.uipack\wininet.lib: unknown file type
[ld.lld Error] ld.lld: error: C:\Users\Robin\AppData\Local\TMS Setup\Products\tms.vcl.uipack\gdiplus.lib: unknown file type
[ld.lld Error] ld.lld: error: C:\Users\Robin\AppData\Local\TMS Setup\Products\tms.vcl.uipack\libssh2.lib: unknown file type

This seems to be due to incompatability between these libraries and the Win64x compiler, do you have anything planned to fix this?

Thanks,

Robin.

It is normally part of the Windows SDK can a location where to look is for example:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Lib\10.0.22621.0\um\x64\*.lib

The libssh2 files can be obtained from

Ok I've managed to resolve this by doing the following:
Open the folder:
C:\Users\Robin\AppData\Local\TMS Setup\Products\tms.vcl.uipack
Delete files:
wininet.lib
gdiplus.lib
libssh2.lib
Rename the file:
libssh2.a
To:
libssh2.lib

This would seem to imply that it should be possible to change the TMS installer to handle the Win64x compiler. I would strongly recommend this as I'm fairly sure most C++ developers will be moving towards this platform in the near future.

We've taken note of this and will investigate how we can handle this better in a future update

That would be great thx.
