Problem with launching Delphi after the last update

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

A strange problem appeared after the last update (1.4.5.666) on Windows 8.0.

I cannot launch the following soft from the main menu of Power 8 any more:
- Embarcadero RAD Studio 2009
- Embarcadero RAD Studio 2010
- Embarcadero RAD Studio XE
They start but report errors presumably related to .NET

But if I right click on the menu item and open a folder with shortcuts in 
Explorer, I can run these applications without problems
(it took a lot of time to find that this problem is related to launching from 
Power8)

Interesting, so it's RAD studio, not Power8 who reports errors? 
Could you please put couple of these errors here?
Also could you please send me the links (shortcuts) themselves?
When you're saying "main menu", do you refer to Start Manu or to Recent Items 
grid?
Can you try launching 1.4.4 again, e.g. from zip and check if it still can 
launch Delphi?

Yes, it is reported by RAD Studio, but only when launched from power8's Start 
Menu. I just tried launching from the Recent Items - the same problem.
But if I right click to open folder (such as 
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Delphi\RAD Studio 2009) 
and launch a shortcut from this folder, no problem occurs.

I have almost all versions of Delphi installed, and this problem happens only 
with 2009, 2010 and XE - older and newer versions are ok. My guess it is 
because they use some specific .NET version.

Errors are different.
For example, for Delphi 2009, the text of error (in translation to English) is: 
"Value cannot be null. Parameter name: key", and the Detail button shows:

I reverted to 1.4.4 - and the problems disappears

Sorry, it appeared that the whole exe is attached when I choose to upload a 
shortcut, so I deleted it

Please download these files.
1. Replace your current Power8 exe with one from "DbgNoEU".
2. Launch it and try starting the Delphi.
Expected is that Delphi starts correctly. *If it doesn't please report here and 
do not proceed.*
3. After Delphi was launched successfully, quit Power8 and Delphi
4. Replace your Power8 exe with one from "NormalDbg"
5. Run it, and try running Delphi.
Expected is that Delphi *fails* starting. If it starts successfully, *report 
here and do not proceed*.
Go to your %temp% folder. Locate p8log.txt there. Zip it and send me to 
agentmc-at-mail.ru or power8.dev.team-at-gmail.com
This log _may_ contain sensible data such as certain paths, installed software 
list, etc, you might want to review it before sending.

Delphi starts successfully with both DbgNoEU.7z and NormalDbg.7z

Could you please provide me with Delphi you use or at least exact versions of 
installation packages so I can reproduce it locally?

BTW, this should help: http://qc.embarcadero.com/wc/qcmain.aspx?d=112179

For example, Delphi 2009 is installed from "registered user downloads", the item
"Delphi 2009 and C++Builder 2009 DVD ISO - June 2009 release 
Includes Updates 1-4 and Help Update 1."

The first thing I did when encountered this error is searchig web for similar 
problems. And yes, I found exactly the same errors, but no workaround worked.
The last update of Delphi already had that line in bds.exe.config.
Another solution I found - reverting 
c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config to 
defaults. It did not help.

Then I reinstalled Delphi and .NET. - it did not help as well.

And only then I found that errors happen only when running from new version of 
power8.

This problem is not critical because I can always run Delphi from Explorer.

Hi there!

Thanks for finding the bug!
Turned out the issue was really critical and could influence other 
functionality of Power8 and/or other software. Funny thing is that it feels 
Embarcadero implemented some code similar to mine but with inside-out version 
of bug you discovered.

Please try the attached build. It should work normally. 
BTW, the build attached is release one, feel free to use it on daily basis if 
it works well.
