Hello,

 

I'm installing the trial version for Tokyo 10.2. Advantage seems to be disabled. I know there is no official support for it, but there are ways to make it work. How can I make the installer work for Advantage on Tokyo?

Hello, Raoul.

You probably downloaded the Metadata Editor for .NET. There are different editors for VCL and .NET editions. Please download the editor for VCL Edition here: https://www.activequerybuilder.com/files/metadata_editor.zip

Metadata Editor for VCL does not require any additional assemblies. You can call it by code: MetadataContainer.Edit();

Some more questions:

It seems I can only save and load metadata with the .NET edition?

Can I also show a list of functions?

Yes that helps thanks.

 

But I see that the Metadata Editor depends on the Assembly Advantage.Data.Provider 11.0.020 which si not available anymore, and if I read the docs correct I can not call the MetadataEditor from Code?

Hello, Raoul.

I suppose you can compile the run-time package and install the design-time package after the installation. They should have names like "acQueryBuilderAdvantageDBxxx.dpk" and "acQueryBuilderDsgnAdvantageDBxxx.dpk". "xxx" is the internal number of your Delphi version.

Let me know if this doesn't help.
