Title:

Delphi/C++Builder/RAD Studio XE2 Update #3

Author: Bob Swart

Content:

Delphi, C++Builder and RAD Studio XE2 Update #3 is now available if you perform the "Check for Updates" option (or have it automatically check it for you). This time, it's an MSI-based patch, which requires XE2 with either Update #1 or Update #2, so there is no uninstall and re-install needed (unless you still run the original XE2 RTM edition).

See http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/en/Release_Notes_for_XE2_Update_3 for the Release Notes, and read them before installing Update #3 (it has a note about the IDE Fix Pack which is not compatible with Update #3 for example).
The Release Notes for XE2 Update #3 also contains a link to my weblog regarding the changes to the ModalResult values for TButton at http://www.bobswart.nl/Weblog/Blog.aspx?RootId=5:5029 but the link to the bug list at http://edn.embarcadero.com/article/41831/ is broken at this time.

After installation of Update #3, Delphi XE2 reports a version 16.0.4358.45540 in the about box.
Note that you may have to re-install the full edition of tools like Fast Report 4, CodeSite Studio or other third-party tools that are also included in "limited" editions in the XE2 SKU itself.

Peter Turner 11/12/15 18:13:37I see the update page, but I don't see the update - no updates in my 'check for update thing' either.
Mark Stals 11/12/15 18:41:05Could it be that you have NOT installed XE2 in the default folders? On my PC the check for update finds nothing either. XE2 is installed in D:\DevBox\Delphi\XE2. However on my virtual machine, I have followed the defaults. There the updates were found and are installing now.
Paul T 11/12/15 19:33:36Same as Peter. No updates when using the manual check button, and I see nothing on the update page about XE2 Update 3. Even the fix list page has only just materialized (but currently blank).
Bob Swart 11/12/15 20:02:32http://twitter.com/#!/SimonJStuart says: Having trouble with #Delphi #XE2 #Update 3 not showing on the update check? Clear your temporary Internet files and try again, will work! ;)
Bob Swart 11/12/15 20:14:42See http://cc.embarcadero.com/Item/28670 to manually download XE2 Update #3 (for registered users only, sorry).
Peter Turner 11/12/15 22:04:19Thanks, it's showing up for me now on the website I didn't need to clear the files (maybe it happened automatically). Check for updates still doesn't work - but it never worked so I'm not complaining, Delphi is in the normal dir.
Bob Swart 11/12/15 22:52:28The Bug Fix list is now fixed as well ;-)
Paul Morey 11/12/19 19:18:23Regarding the solution to the XE2 updates not showing on the update check ("Clear your temporary Internet files and try again, will work!"): What a terrible design! An update notification page should *NEVER* be cached - or at least Delphi should force a refresh of the page when checking for updates! Embarcadero needs to fix this as soon as possible.
