General Notes

For a complete list of the specific problems fixed in this update, see: http://edn.embarcadero.com/de/article/40984/

Known Issues

• On Windows Vista^® and Windows 7^TM, a spurious warning message has been observed. If you receive a warning at the end of the installation (stating that setup may not have completed successfully), but you did not see any errors during the actual install, please disregard the warning about setup not completing successfully.

• On some systems with 64-bit processors and 64-bit Windows 7, setting hardware-based data breakpoints can make the debugger unstable. On such systems, the problem can be avoided either by not using hardware-based data breakpoints or by installing 32-bit Windows 7.

• For a C++ ActiveX Library that contains a COM Object, after you delete the last child of a parent node and then add new children to the parent node, the new child node does not appear if the parent node was previously expanded. To display the newly added child node, right-click the parent node and select Expand All.
