Lazarus Portable 0.9.27 Beta Test 5.2

Hi, Jammiii,
sorry for the slow response, I've been without internet connection at home.

Yeap, I had already figured out that I needed to drop the dll from sqlite's site in there. My problem was that I tried to install first the sqlitelaz package, and then the sqlite3laz one. And even though I droped the sqlite3.dll file along with lazarus.exe, it still was looking for sqlite.dll (for the sqlitelaz package, for sqlite 2.x). When I uninstalled the old package and compiled once again, it started working. With lazarus 0.9.26.2 (non-portable).
With the portable one (beta 1 and beta 2) I get an aditional message, before in finishes recompiling Lazarus' IDE. That's the one about the missing componenttreeview component. That's the "portable" bug I was trying to report. I wasn't even aware that the other one was also a bug. I thought it was just by design that you need to add the DLL. Zero experience with Lazarus as you can see...
Do you think it's just me having problems with that componenttreeview or can you confirm that one too?
Thanks for your help (and for the whole thing!):

I don't remember if I've seen it on a fresh install, but I think yes. I'll see if I can test again tonight and let you know.

Hello I don't know if this is something to worry about but when I started Lazarus after the portableapp installation it gave me this message:

El paquete "SdpoSerialLaz" está instalado pero se encontró un archivo de paquete (.lpk) no válido. Se ha creado un paquete vacío.

That's the original message in spanish (my native language). Translated in english would be something like:

The package "SdpoSerialLaz" it's already installed but there was found a not valid package (.lpk). There has been created an empty package

After that there is another message saying (I won't put it in spanish):
In the top of the message says: Registry error
Package: "SdpoSerialLaz 0.0"
Unit Name: "SdpoSerial"
Unit not found: "SdpoSerial"
Abort or ignore

I don't know if this error is specific for my language. I'm using Windows Vista 32bits. There's maybe an easy fix on that. Greetings

this is the bug:

Not 0.9.30.2 but at least 0.9.30. See here. This more recent Dev Test seems to be actively maintained.
Since 0.9.30.2 isn't even officially listed neither on the lazarus homepage nor as standard download from sourceforge (you have to look for it in the folders) this can be called up to date.
When or if it will become official - no one can tell for shure but John and I doubt he knows for now...

For those who experience this, find the file
PortableApps.comLauncherRuntimeData-LazarusPortable.ini in your Lazarus data directory. Open it in notepad or similar, and delete the line starting with:
Status=

Save and close, then try to run Lazarus again and it will start.

Kinnon
