While some of the Embarcadero servers are still not working, we have made available some alternative options and blogged about them.

Installation and GetIt Workarounds for Delphi 10.3.2 

 Does this server issue also affect earlier editions of the installer and related packages? Such as the Android SDKs.
- I'm guessing, yes?

 I frankly have had it with your infrastructure.
Are you sure you did not mean to write it in singular? Like "our single 
server".
Why can't a proper IT company have an infrastructure that has at least 1! fail-
over?

You are encouraging cloud use. Well: use it!

Installation and GetIt Workarounds for Delphi 10.3.2 Updated 

I am trying to use that updated installer.
It is giving me the following warnings:
"Previous Installation performed with different Installer

We have detected an existing installation of 10.3 on your system 
using the [GetIt Web Installer / Offline ISO Installer], but you are 
currently using [opposite].

It is recommended that you use the same installer to proceed with 
this installation.
Would you like to continue anyway?"

and then (next dialog):
"... remove RAD Studio 10.3 entries from your registry? 
YES/NO (radiobuttons)
Note: it is recommended that you use the same installer (offline 
installer or web installer) to re-install an update since the registry 
settings will not be compatible"

Can it do any harm to just ignore these warnings?

What's the workaround for delphi 10.1? 
As it's having the same issue as 10.3.2 et all.

cannot load data from the server, Forbidden.

TS, GetIt support for 10.1 and other older versions is coming back 
soon.

Thanks for the reply Marco,
Soon - is a broad spectrum of possibilities however.

Can we expect this coming week, the coming month, or later?

 Saw the available web installer which is what I've used previously.  
Downloaded it, started it up and successfully uninstalled 10.3.1.  Now 
it is saying "Problem loading data, Internal server error" during the 
Platform Selection".  So now I don't even have a working Delphi 
install.

Can I successfully use the ISO installer even if I previously used the 
web installer?

 Web install for 10.3.2 worked for me this morning (finally!!)

Installation and GetIt Workarounds for Delphi 10.3.2 Updated 

I installed the latest 10.3.2 ISO over the top of an existing Rio 
install.  Compile/Debug on Windows and Firemonkey works fine.

Next I checked the registry for the new GetIt server URLs and it is 
OK.

New problem: GetIt connects to the server OK and runs for about 
10-15 seconds.  Next it pops up an Application Error dialog that 
says:

Exception EReadError in module rtl260.bpl at 00126330.  Error 
reading Imagelist2.Bitmap: Failed to read ImageList data from 
stream.

If you click OK in the error dialog then the entire Rio IDE 
terminates.

If you don't click OK, the first few GetIt package icons appear, but 
they are non-functional.  The IDE eventually crashes.

Any ideas?  I really need GetIt to work.

Installation and GetIt Workarounds for Delphi 10.3.2 Updated 

Two weeks ago I got this GetIt error, "Excption EReadError... Error reading ImageList2.Bitmap...".
I used the classic solution, uninstalling and reinstalling Delphi and put all the Free packages in GetIt that interested me, leaving my other packages for the next day. The only problem was that the next  day would present me with the very same problem, which means I used my weekend for nothing. No solution so far?
