Error when starting Delphi 5

Post by Andre »

Hi,

I installed the latest version to work with Delphi 5 and XE7.
Now, when I start Delphi 5 I get the following error (I try to translate from Dutch to English):
Can't find entryponit of procedure @Madecxept@UnregisterBugReportPlugin$qqr17System@AnsiSTring in DLL-file madExcept_.bpl.

What should I do? Does madExcept work OK?

Greatings,
Andre

That means that there are probably some old madCollection BPLs flying around on your harddisk somewhere where they don't belong. My suggestion would be to do a full cleanup like this:

1) Uninstall madCollection.
2) Search harddisk and registry for mad*.* and delete everything that belongs to madCollection.
3) Reinstall madCollection.

Done. This should solve the problem.

I removed everything and reinstalled madCollection. Everything was fine. The I reinstalled the plugin SystemInfo.mep and the error was back. So, how can I uninstall the plugin?

Then there are probably still some old remains of the SystemInfo plugin flying around somewhere where they don't belong. Search your harddisk for SystemInfo.* and delete everything. Then try reinstalling the plugin.
