[steven1996]

Hi,
I am getting an error during installing Alcinoe (latest version) for Delphi 13:

Hello, please can you update your repository with the last committed version and run it again to have more details about the error ?

The previous steps worked well until 'Auto-Generate Source Code'. Here is the Logs:

I have no idea :( can you try to delete you alcinoe repository and redownload it from scratch ? it's say it's can not find the TALDynamicExtendedControl class but that not possible.

you can also try to run Alcinoe\Tools\CodeBuilder_Source\CodeBuilder.dpr in debug and look why this line failed :

Var P1 := AlposIgnoreCaseA(' '+AClassName+' = class(', aSrc); // TALShape = class(TALControl)

normally it's not possible it's failed

[steven1996]

Thank you. I will try as your proposal.

After modifying function ALGetStringFromFile in unit Alcinoe.StringUtils, it works fine.

function ALGetStringFromFile(const filename: String; const ShareMode: Word = fmShareDenyWrite): AnsiString; Var LFileStream: TfileStream; begin LFileStream := TFileStream.Create(filename,fmOpenRead or ShareMode); try Result := ALGetStringFromStream(LFileStream, TEncoding.ANSI); {If LFileStream.size > 0 then begin SetLength(Result, LFileStream.size); LFileStream.ReadBuffer(pointer(Result)^,LFileStream.Size) end else Result := '';} finally LFileStream.Free; end; end;

what ansi code page do you have with your windows? I just committed what i thing could be a fix (I call SetMultiByteConversionCodePage(CP_UTF8); at the beginning of the process), can you revert what you did, update your repository and run again ?

[steven1996]

My windows code page is 936.
And i reverted what i did, and add SetMultiByteConversionCodePage(CP_UTF8); get the same issue:

Exception: Error BEDEF98F-7167-459E-B26C-1F30FC4B43DC - TALDynamicExtendedControl

I will check on a windows with code page is 936, you error is very strange
