Embarcadero released today the second update of RAD Studio, Delphi, and C++Builder 10.1 Berlin, with significant new features (mostly focused on Windows 10 Anniversary Update) and quality improvements.
The features were announced in last week webinar available as a replay at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvUJXJDhF4E and include support for Windows Desktop Bridge deployment in the IDE, a new CalendarView control, new designers called QuickEdits, and much more. You can read a detailed description of these new features in the docwiki help page at http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Berlin/en/Subscription_Update_2.
The update has also several quality improvements and bug fixes, including the most voted issue on Quality portal, the problems with CodeInsight and static arrays. Other notable fixes include dynamic arrays optimizations (following regressions in Berlin), DataSnap issues, several DBGrid regressions fixes, C++ compiler improvements, REST clients calls with compressed data on mobile, and many others. You can find the list of publicly reported bugs fixed in this update at http://edn.embarcadero.com/article/44726.
All customers with an active update subscription can download the new version of the product at one of the following links:
- The GetIt based Web installer can be found at http://cc.embarcadero.com/item/30648
- The ISO with the traditional installer is at http://cc.embarcadero.com/item/30652
Notice that if you want to preserve your registry setting in this uninstall/re-install cycle you should use the same installer technology of your most recent install. Before you ask, the GetIt based installer this time will ask you if you want to preserve your registry settings, and would make a copy and reapply them after the installation completed.
Hope you like the quality improvements and new features of Berlin Update 2. And stay tuned to CodeRage today and the coming two days.

Hello Marco,
installation worked fine using GetIt installer.
Please provide build number, some questions:
- in my info windows i can only see Update 1? Version
is 24.0.25048.9432?
- Good to see that the SetLength regression is fixed!
- I have to reinstall all my packages?
- starting MacOS application on Sierra hangs with
sentinel func xxx? This error has been reported before
and is a real showstopper for our development!

Will I have to recompile all my libraries when coming from Berlin 10.1
without updates?

Does anyone at Embarcadero have any idea how much time goes
into setting RAD up, particularly with respect to third party and
custom packages? Each update requires a complete uninstall first -
really? There's been two of them in 2 months! I couldn't face doing
Update 1 and same goes for this one :(

How can i know which installer i had used in the past ?
Comment by Willems Davy on November 15, 14:28
RAD Studio Berlin 10.1 Update 2 Anniversary Edition Available
A few assorted follow up comments:
- even if installing Update 2 requires a re-install, it is dcu and
binary compatible with previous 10.1 Berlin releases, so it doesn't
require you to recompile your code or reinstall components.
- there is really no other way to do a mayor update. working on file
differences with dozens of SKUs and potential customers updates
to files is not an option
- it is a known issue that after Update 2 is installed, your about box
still indicates Update 1. This is what I see on my machine. Clearly
annoying but not worth delaying the release.
- The release version is indeed 24.0.25048.9432
- We are looking into debugger issues on Sierra, email me about
the specifics
- We have fixed the most critical bugs left after Update 1, I know
there is a lot of room for fixing more issues
- You can check your past installer but looking if you have a Tools
| Managed Platforms menu command in your IDE. This is
available only if you used the GetIt installer.

Just downloaded the iso, burned and installed.
Delphi came up with all settings intact, no problems
at all. Nice job guys!
Comment by James Parks on November 15, 16:35
RAD Studio Berlin 10.1 Update 2 Anniversary Edition Available
I had lost all my settings but i was not sure which installer i had
used before and it was not clear to me if we had to manually
uninstall the old version or if the installer of the new version would
do that for us. So i basically went to control panel / software and
uninstalled first from there, after uninstall it had completely
removed the bds\18.0 registry key with my settings. Do note i was
still using Delphi berlin rtm and not update 1 so that could have
been the problem and / or i did not use the same installer. I had
already reinstalled using iso before i marco posted on how to check
which installer was used. Not that big of a problem for me.
On side note i did get one weird error / message at the end of the
installation. after everything is installed and the main installation
form is closed, it seems to try to install something else. i'm not sure
what it tried to install but i had gotten an error (from an installer i
guess) that it is not supported to install on vista or higher (i'm using
windows 7). Could have been something related to help files or my
system though but ignored it

"... so it doesn't require you to recompile your code or reinstall

I had to reinstall ALL of components - DevExpress, Add
Add-in Express, DevArt, DDevExtensions, madCollection
madCollection...
It's not a big problem for me, but only FYI.

Installed with GetIt on a previous Berlin
10.1 upd 1 installation, the GetIt installer
asked me to preserve the registry but after
the installation no one of the third party
components is present, and now i must re-
install everything from scratch. This is a
very annoying problem and i must spend a
lot of my time at every new version and
update, fix it as soon as possible

Willems,
the additional installer that required Windows 10 and won't run on
Windows 7 is the Microsoft Windows 10 SDK installer. Microsoft
claims it can be installed on previous versions, but we haven't been
able to do so. The SDK is needed for Windows Desktop Bridge
support.

RSP-14895 is listed as one of the fixes in this update however the
Quality Portal issue is still listed as Unresolved and several people
are reporting the test case for the issue still fails with update 2.

Lachlan,
that DataSnap issues was worked on and was fixed. The fix might
not cover additional similar cases. I saw 2 people mentioning they
still have the issue, let see if this is a general problem or not.

RAD Studio Berlin 10.1 Update 2 Anniversary Edition Available
Sandro,
my understanding is that started edition customers cannot install
updates, because they are not covered by their license. This is more
of a technical issue, than a decision, and we are looking for
workarounds. But the same is true for Delphi and C++Builder, afaict.

""- there is really no other way to do a mayor update.

Please spend time into making it an option,.
because a full reinstall of a major development tool
like this,. especially if you're doing an update every
few months,. is not an option for us EITHER... :(
You're not likely to lose people the first year,. but
I predict a major loss in customers or at least
renewals if this keeps up.
Comment by Thomas on November 17, 07:54
RAD Studio Berlin 10.1 Update 2 Anniversary Edition Available
I wonder, *how* does one install the update? I kind of
expected that if I run the setup.exe from the ISO, it
would do whatever is necessary, including uninstall of
the previous version (which is extremely annoying). It
seems to be doing just that, except that at the end of
the install, about 5 gigabytes of data were removed
from my drive and all that was left were some
leftovers (definitely not any kind of partial
installation). Fortunately, this was on a VM, so I
could simply reset it back to the original state, but
still baffling. Just what is the proper procedure for
upgrading using the ISO?
Comment by pepak on November 18, 18:13
RAD Studio Berlin 10.1 Update 2 Anniversary Edition Available
There is problem regarding install procedure.
If you install update over an existing Berlin
installation it won't update your current
installation. You must completely uninstall Berlin
manually and re-install the update again.

Can't install update. After removing previous version, the Installer
stopped during installation of common components with the message
like "ups, something happens". It is very "informative". Should
rollback to Update 1 to continue work.
Comment by Oleksiy Penkov on November 22, 07:47
RAD Studio Berlin 10.1 Update 2 Anniversary Edition Available
I'm installing Berlin 10.1 Update 2 on a Win 7 64bit computer. At
the end of the install it displays a dialog that says
"Does not support current OS version"
"The install cannot continue. You are able to install MS SDK
Installer on Windows Vista or Higher". Then the install quits.
It doesn't say what MS SDK is used for or how to fix the problem.
Apparently it thinks I'm running XP.
1) So do I have a working version of Delphi installed or not?
2) Is there a log file to indicate what failed to install?
3) How do I fix this problem? Do I need to wait for 10.1 Update 3?
I don't know if it is just me, but over the past 3 years I'd rather get
root canal than attempt to install a new version of Delphi.
Comment by Brent on November 24, 04:31
RAD Studio Berlin 10.1 Update 2 Anniversary Edition Available
Brent,
the Microsoft Windows 10 SDK installer requires Windows 10: there
is a clear problem with that error message e display, but the substance
is correct. The SDK is needed only for generating an APPX file,
something you cannot really test unless you are on Win10
Anniversary, so not installing the Windows SDK should not be an
actual issue.
PS. Microsoft claims that SDK can be installed on Windows 7,
however, we haven't been able to do that -- so not really suggesting
customers is can work.

Downloaded the radstudio10_1_upd2_esd.iso and cannot install.
Using Win 10 or other iso runners. No joy.
Got it from radstudio10_1_upd2_esd.iso on the URL link.
MD5: 920F0ACF67122BB04ED55EDD7A1C7579
Extracted with 7Zip and created a folder. Size is correct. Checked
with Antivirus and OK.
Trying to use the INF file to install also gives error
"The style of the INF is different than what was requested"
Clicking on the Setup.exe of the Install folder gives error
"Windows cannot find 'L:\Install\Setup.exe'. Make sure you typed
the name correctly, and then try again."
Trying to use Run and typing 'L:\Install\Setup.exe' gives error
"This app can't run on your PC"
"To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher."
Must I download it again?

Eduardo,
that sounds wrong. It is possible there was a download issue -- or
even that something got messed up in the ISO file, but quite unusual.

Marco, I tried downloading it again last night but it failed. I'll keep
trying this week.
I have a recommendation along these lines. Because I now live in a
remote lake house and must use HughesNet satellite for internet
access, I order the $35 or so "media kit" with my subscription.
Since it looks like we will have to be downloading large ISO files
for install and two updates per year, how about sending those of us
that got the media kit a DVD of each update? I'd love it for them to
be free but would pay an additional $5 each, if that is required. I
would imagine folks in parts of the world would welcome that
service so they do not have to deal with large 7 GB downloads that
take time and download allowance.

BTW, I checked the MD5 on the file and my two downloads fail to
match the MD5 reported for the ISO from the download site.
I'll keep trying to download but wanted to let you know in case you
want someone to verify that the file has not been changed at the
download site.
Comment by Eduardo A Salgado on November 29, 22:04
RAD Studio Berlin 10.1 Update 2 Anniversary Edition Available
I am a registered and licensed user of RAD Studio
10.1 Berlin.
I downloaded and tried to install the Update 2
(before I had to uninstall the current Berlin version,
otherwise the update 2 installlation doesn't work),
because I was hoping that such update fixes the well-
known CodeInsight problems that slow down my
development.
At the end of the installation process, when I go
launching RAD Studio, I get an error saying that my
license is not valid because my subscription period is
expired. I contacted Embarcadero support and they
confirmed me that I have no license rights to run
Update 2.
OK, I didn't renew my subscription that expired in
June, but please note that this product is named
"RAD Studio Berlin 10.1 Update 2", it is not named
"RAD Studio 11" or something like this, and it has
been released just to FIX the bugs of 10.1 version!!!
This is completely absurd and unfair form
Embarcadero, this is not a new product, this is a fix
for a buggy product that I duly purchased!
I start developing with Borland Delphi more than 20
years ago, so I followed all the "evolution" of this
company during years. This is just the last straw, I am
seriously cosidering to move away from Embarcadero
products, because I'm getting tired of all their bugs
and of their policy for customers.
Regards, Piero

Final comments on my Upt 2 download. Went to Birmingham, to a
friend's company, and was able to download the file OK. MD5
checks. All good now. Must be something related to using satellite
internet with the inherent starts and stops that likely affect large
downloads.
Thanks for listening.

I ordered one license of 10.1 Update 2 in the hope
they may have reworked the CodeInsight function.
But the time I have to wait when I add, for example, a
new entry in the uses area has increased a lot in
contrast to XE8. It takes about 30 seconds just adding
System.DateUtils. In reality, CodeInsight is almost
unusable.
I think it is very urgent that Embarcadero focusses on
usability. For me as VCL user all those new features
and platforms are not so interesting. A product that
allows me to work fast would be VERY inportant.

RAD Studio Berlin 10.1 Update 2 Anniversary Edition Available
The berlin 10.1.2 installer does not install the mac osx support for
me. When I installed it, I had only win 64 support enabled, no mac.
Now I re-run the installer, select OSX, then it download files,
including the paserver, but then it want to download
paserver_maxosx and fail, and I can only abort the installation at
that point and have with that no mac osx support.
