Embarcadero just released Two RAD Studio 10.4.2 Patches

Embarcadero has just released two patches for RAD Studio, Delphi, and C++Builder 10.4.2, a General Patch and Delphi Compiler Patch

Embarcadero has just released two patches for RAD Studio, Delphi, and C++Builder 10.4.2. The patches address a few critical issues in the most recent releases and are available to active update subscription customers in the GetIt Package manager. A matching alert shows up in the IDE Welcome page.

The patches are delivered as deferred installation packages, which means they are installed after you shut down the IDE. This means you can activate both GetIt packages, without restarting the IDE after the first one, and than close the IDE and install both of them in a single cycle. Remember you’ll also need to accept the UAC Windows prompt.

May 3rd Update

There is now an additional, third patch also on GetIt as it rutned out we missed a few files from the General patch to address a critical exceptions handling issues on non-Windows platforms (RSP-33117).

and if installation fails, make sure GetIt is online

 I had the installation fail on me repeatedly. The cmd window showed some red text but closed to fast to read.

Turned out that for whatever reason my GetIt was configured to work offline. To switch it to online, I used this command

getitcmd -c=useonline

After that it worked for me.

I suggest to add a check for this to the GetIt IDE plugin and also add a pause to the end of the command execution so the user can actually read the error messages.
