After installation, went to install packages, and found that there were numerous issues, which I was unable to resolve.Please install the extra packages one by one and see which package causes the problems.
To be sure I understand, do I need to remove from the list all packages that are not required? Or only those which appear to be missing? Sorry, but if I am to work through it by hand, I want to be sure I am doing precisely what you are asking.I assume that Lazarus after installation works. It then includes the standard set of packages (build target "bigide").
Added AnchorDocking to the list and initiated the package build. Got error in ZDbcCache:So you got "Zeos" installed.

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.
I will deal with installing packages when the need arises.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.
Error: Incompatible types: got "Boolean" expected "Int64"I don't know details of Zeos. Maybe it does something tricky with types.
And for whatever reason, can't copy the selected message from that window, but had to type it in notepad.Strange. The copy from message window feature was improved. Now you can select many lines and copy them all.
If this code line gave an error
if NullPtr^ = 0 then // on this line
then the message makes no sense as 0 is an integer, not a boolean.
If this code line gave an error
if NullPtr^ = 0 then // on this line
then the message makes no sense as 0 is an integer, not a boolean.
Made no sense to me, either. I just report what I see.
it seems that you haven't the last version of Zeos 7.2.14 (may be you have the 7.2.12 or 7.2.10 version)

Not any more! Ripping away folders -- including the AppData\Local\lazarus folder -- then re-installing seems to have eliminated the oddities.
And for what it is worth to anyone here, LazProfiler seems to have issues. Being very cautious in installing things, even to the extent of installing dependencies one by one, and LazProfiler made problems when I installed it.
