I assume that Lazarus after installation works. It then includes the standard set of packages (build target "bigide").
I guess you have the old configuration with more packages. Unfortunately you must remove them from the list of installed packages, then install one by one, to find out the problematic ones.
Which packages are missing?
You can also delete or rename the local config folder to start from a default clean configuration. Then install packages one by one.
Martin_fr:
I don't think you need to delete your entire config. Most of it should be fine.
But, if some path to old stuff is stored there, one way would be to backup the folder, and restore it file by file to see which file causes any trouble.
Since this is about packages, I suspect:
includelinks.xml
packagefiles.xml
staticpackages.inc

So you got "Zeos" installed.
And the Zeos version you have does not work with the new IDE.
I don't use Zeos myself, but I expect they have a newer version that will work.
If you used OPM, maybe it can be updated via OPM. => I don't know if the OPM registry has the latest updates already included. (Afaik, It is maintained separately from the release).

1. Delete your config directory(make a backup first). On windows is typically located in:
c:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\lazarus\
2. Delete your Lazarus folder
3. Reinstall everything
Unfortunately you will have to reinstall every package.

OK, that allowed me to get to a properly functional installation. I will deal with installing packages when the need arises.
I started with AnchorDocking and the DockedFormEditor.

That's a good attitude. Do not install packages ahead just to "have them". Every unnecessary package is an unnecessary risk to end up with an unstable IDE.
JuhaManninen:
If this code line gave an error
--- Code: Pascal [+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 = document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x = document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i < x.length; i++) { x[i].style.maxHeight='none'; x[i].style.height = Math.min(x[i].clientHeight+15,306)+'px'; x[i].style.resize = "vertical";}};} ---if NullPtr^ = 0 then // on this line
then the message makes no sense as 0 is an integer, not a boolean.

I don't know details of Zeos. Maybe it does something tricky with types.
--- Quote ---And for whatever reason, can't copy the selected message from that window, but had to type it in notepad.
--- End quote ---
Strange. The copy from message window feature was improved. Now you can select many lines and copy them all.
Does it work for other people?
