Hello everyone,

I just registered as a new user of TeeChart. Before that, I have been using the version that comes with the IDE, so I don't know much about the installation of TeeChart.

I downloaded the latest source files and binaries, do I need to install both?

When I installed the source file program, it was prompted to compile, and it started to execute after I modified the path, but an error occurred:

Does anyone know where the problem is?

Hello,

That's strange. It builds without issues for me: Can you try downloading the installer again?

Hi Yeray,

Thanks for the reply.

I still encountered the same error message after re-downloading and installing, my IDE version is RAD Studio 11.2 Patch 1 (28.0.46141.0937).

Hello,

Could you please check if the line 1014 in the "Source\TeeConst.pas" is as follows?

No, in notepad++ it looks like gibberish:

Hi Yeray,

I need your help.

I tried to use hexadecimal characters to represent this gibberish-looking symbol, but I found two symbols in ASCII Code that are very similar to it, Should I choose #B0 or ​​#BA ?

Hello,

It's the degree symbol/sign, B0

Hi Yeray,

I changed line 1014 to: Compile again, an error is reported on line 612, it seems that '©' is not correctly recognized.

So I replace it with #$A9: continue to compile, this time it returns to line 1014 to report an error:

VCLTee.TeeConst.pas(1014) Error: E1057 Implicit string cast from 'AnsiChar' to 'string'.

I don't know where the problem is, so I had to copy and paste the code you showed above and continue compiling. This time it was the VCLTee.TeeFormatting.pas file, line 612, and I opened it and found that it seemed to have the same problem as the VCLTee.TeeConst.pas file, line 1014, which made I feel very sad, what's the problem?

This is my system information: Windows 11 enterprise, version 22H2 Build 22621.521, Simplified Chinese, is there something wrong with my operating system character set?

Would you give me a version that compiles fine?

Hello,

Indeed, we detected some unicode issues with Chinese machines. We'll revise that.
In the meanwhile, you should be able to correct the "Source\TeeConst.pas" is as follows and run TeeRecompile:
Line 612: Line 1014:

Hello,

An alternative is to change your system locale as follows:
