I may have missed something ....

I installed lazarus from lazarus-1.6.0-fpc-3.0.0-win64.exe

everything seem to have been installed well.

but when I start Lazarus ... it requires "C:\lazarus64\fpc\2.7.1\source" ... but 2.6.4 has been installed!

what is the best (easiest) solution to clean this situation?

thanks
Philippe

Looks like you had a previous or parallel install with a custom config.

If you need none of your config, you can delete the old config. The windows installer has a checkbox to do this. Or you delete the folder "primary config path" as found in menu "view" > ide internals > ide settings

Less drastic, open the Tools > Options and
- chose the fpc inside your installation
C:\lazarus\fpc\3.0.0\bin\i386-win32\fpc.exe
- same for sources $(LazarusDir)fpc\$(FPCVer)\source

you probably right! I'll check soon.

reinstalled with clean option ... it looks ok now!

thanks again

installed 1.6 on my windows 8 64bits machine.

the exe file is 22.398 bytes

if I rebuild Lazarus ... after installing a component or after building Lazarus from the Tools menu ... the exe file is more then 225.000 bytes big ... and ... it does not run! ...

if I reboot the machine and try to run from startlazarus.exe it stops on the image ("Free Pascal ... Lazarus ... Project ... ... ...") ...

if I try directly lazarus.exe ... "windows explorer" does not seem to be able to run it ... on then tasks manager "Windows Explorer" stays at the top of the list (ordered by name) ... and Lazarus does not appear ...

appreciate any tip!

Philippe

Good news, good job!
Finally, I'll be able to migrate our team to FPC 3.

I still do not understand the reason why the size is 10 times bigger after rebuilding Lazarus ...

but ... I understood why it does not run ... Avast! is the responsible for it! ...

I found how to exclude lazarus directory from Avast! scanning ... and now it looks that Lazarus is running fine ...

Thanks .... and sorry for may be useless messages!

Open Tools -> Configure "Build Lazarus" ... dialog. Select profile "Optimized IDE". You can also use -O3 optimization in options. Then build again.

nice! it worked fine!

thanks
