Delphi Compiler not found

FinalBuilder Discussion
1

We just got a server at our business (sbs 2011 standard) and we're planning on setting up fb7 on it. I installed fb fine as well as Delphi 2007. However, I try to run a build and I get a "Delphi compiler not found". I've compared the server with our old machine that was doing builds and I couldn't find any paths or variables that were set differently (it had fb6 though). I searched and saw that it accesses the registry to find out where the compiler is and it should be getting the right path (C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeGear\RAD Studio\5.0\).

I'm pretty new to fb myself so I could be missing something glaringly obvious. Any suggestions on how to get this working?

If you have just installed rad studio then make sure you run it at least once, rad studio creates a bunch of registry keys on first run. FinalBuilder looks in the registry to detect the instsall location of Delphi so this step is needed.

For D2007, FinalBuilder looks at :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Borland\BDS\5.0 - RootDir

or on 64 bit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Borland\BDS\5.0 - RootDir

Also on the Delphi action, make sure you select the correct compiler version.
