Now Getting Runtime Error 236 on Delphi Start

[majlumbo]

I have v17.4.3 installed in Tokyo (I did not upgrade RV as yet), and have had no issue with it, until today (1/6). Upon starting Tokyo, I am getting runtime error 236 just after Richview components are loaded, and Delphi terminates. I removed all the RV related .bpl files from the bpl directory, and now Delphi starts with no problem.

Any idea what could be causing this issue.

There are no known critical errors in this version. Try removing all TRichView-related files and reinstall it again.

One thought... This error may be caused by packages dependent from TRichView which were not recompiled.
I.e. if you have some packages that requires TRichView packages, they must be uninstalled before installing TRichView, and recompiled after.

A similar problem may occur also for packages dependent from other third-party tools. For example, you installed TRichView including TRichView+DevExpress integration packages, and then updated DevExpress VCL. In this case, you need to re-run TRichView installer ("Install TRichView in IDE" shortcut in the Windows Start menu) to recompile packages dependent from DevExpress VCL
(in very new versions of DevExpress VCL, their installer automatically uninstalls third-party dependent packages; but in older versions, it was an issue)

I haven't made any changes at all since the last time I started Delphi 10.2.3 successfully. I went ahead and attempted to install TRichview manually, via the IDE, I successfully compiled the 10_2 package for both x32 and x64, then opened the design package, upon installing, I immediately got the runtime error 236 again, the Delphi crashed. Now on start, I again get it.

The actual error is:

Runtime error 236 at 302503B2

facing the same issue. kindly provide a solution to it

What version of TRichView do you use?

[Sergey Tkachenko]

Again, the most probable reason of the error is a package mismatch.
The first thing to check: do you have other packages that use TRichView packages. If yes, these packages must be uninstalled or recompiled.
The second thing to check: did you modify/update other third-party components that have integration with TRichView (such as DevExpress VCL, or ReportBuilder, etc.). If yes, reinstall TRichView.

I have the same problem only with delphi 11.3.
In delphi 12.1 in the same computer, it starts without error
Uninstall and reboot and re-install trichview vcl does not help

[Sergey Tkachenko]

Do you have the newest version of TRichView?

[dkounal]

yes, v 22.2

[Sergey Tkachenko]

Try to turn off update checking.
Open regedit. In HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\TRichView, change AllowCheck = 0.

[dkounal]

it is already AllowCheck = 0

[dkounal]

I am still have the problem with 22.3.1
Is there anything I can do?

[Sergey Tkachenko]

1. Did you try to compile package manually?
To make sure that the error comes from the main package, not from some optional add-on.

2. Does it happen with VCL version? Or FMX version? Or both?
