Hi,
I am facing an old problem installing GLScene (but this time version 1.8) for Delphi 10.3.1 Rio.
I copied the unzipped GLScene folder from the webpage into my Components folder
(in my case D:\Delphi10.3\Components) and followed the instructions in the “InstallationGLS.pdf”.
Thus, I created the environment variable and all necessary library paths for Win32 and Win64 linking to
my Components folder. Compiling the package works fine. So far so good.
I manage to install the GLScene_DT.bpl and GLScene_Parallel_DT.bpl but all the others fail to install
showing the error message, that the corresponding GLScene_Parallel_DT.bpl module cannot be loaded
from “C:\Users\Public\Dcouments\Embarcadero\Studio\20.0\Bpl\” (This is my standard directory).
I checked this path and all bpl- files exist.
Especially the point: “add the $(GLSCENE)\BPL folder to the library path” and later on “copy all bpl-files from the GLSCENE\BPL folder to C:\Users\Public\Dcouments\Embarcadero\Studio\20.0\Bpl\” does not work in my case, because the GLScene\BPL folder does not exist anymore in version 1.8 (actually the BPL folder disappeared for all versions after version 1.5).
I also tried to install older versions of GLScene (1.7 and 1.6) but all of them failed showing the same error message.
I tried to move further backwards in version because then I could follow the workaround under the same conditions, but I ran into the problem that for version 1.5 I cannot even compile the GLScene_DT.bpl
because the required item GLScene_RunTime cannot be found.
I know this is an old issue, but it would be nice to understand, what I am doing wrong.
Thanks for the help.
Cheers
Mike
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Copying the files manually solved the problem. Now the installation of all components works fine.
It looks like that although I was executing the SetupDLLs.dat as administrator as mentioned
in the InstallationGLS.pdf manual, the files have not been completely copied to System32 and SysWOW64. Weird actually, but maybe its a rights management problem on my office computer
Anyhow, thanks for the help!
Cheers,
Mike

I also tried already to follow the workaround mentioned here https://sourceforge.net/p/glscene/discussion/93605/thread/34eb9e3a/#f413 but somehow,
it does not help in my case.

Mike,
Follow the current instruction 1.8 in https://sourceforge.net/p/glscene/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/InstallationGLS.pdf and espesially note step 3. Check all externals.DLLs in c:windows\system32 and syswow64 directories and if you not have it there then add them manually.

Thanks for the reply Pavel!
