Updating takes forever

Hello,

Recently i've upgraded from Delphi 6 to Rad Studio Architect. My product is
registered, we bought our license last week.

I used the 'Check for updates' icon, and it detected 2 updates. I clicked to do
it, but the program freezes on the 'Validating install' forever, with a 60% cpu
usage.

I tried the updated three times with no sucess, same problem in all.

My computer is a Centrino Duo 2 Ghz, 2 GB / Windows Vista Home Edition.

Any ideas will be very appreciated, as i know the is important to keep system up
to date.

Start the update before you go home and leave the PC running (you can
lock the workstation, though). The validating install phase takes ages
on Vista, that is a known problem (it took about 3h on a faily new
Vista notebook for me). On XP it's *much* faster. Vista is currently
simply not a suitable development environment IMO.

Peter,

Ok, will do it.

My laptop came with Vista, and i can't downgrade it because lot of components
does not provide drivers for XP.

Thanks, i will feedback you tomorrow.

ok, the upgrade took about 3 hours, but finished.

now i have a problem : my component captions don't show, even if the 'Show
component captions' is checked on Options window.

is this a know bug ?

thanks.

Not on XP. Don't know about Vista, though. Go Google for

"show component captions" site:qc.codegear.com
