Looks like there was an update to the update.
“This CodeCentral entry was updated on Dec 17, 2017
We have updated RAD Studio 10.2.2 to address an issue that caused incompatibility problems for a number of third party components.This build (build 2004) replaces the previously released RAD Studio 10.2.2 build (build 1978). The updated 10.2.2 build requires a full uninstall and reinstall. You will be able to preserve your configuration settings as part of the reinstall.”

Is this to fix the Dev Express VCL issue ? do you know ?
Tony Danby, Sorry, no. I don’t know for sure, but it does seem likely?
Tony Danby What is the “Dev Express VCL issue”?
Tony Danby it’s for binary dcu incompatibility.
If your issue is something like “Cannot find entry point…” then this is.
Stefan Glienke There was link last week with a video by the Dev Express CTO ( youtube.com – What’s New in v17.2: VCL ), where he basically admitted ( between a load of mumbling ) that the latest 17.2 component set would NOT BUILD ( no surprise he was mumbling, poss. out of complete embarrassment that it would not compile )
Cristian Peța I guess you mean compile error “F2051 Unit %s was compiled with a different version of System.Generics.Collections.TArray.Sort” (or similar)
Stefan Glienke Don’t know the mumbling and excuses given by Julian Bucknall was enough to put me off even trying to move to 10.2.2 right now ! I need all our 3rd party components to work as well as Delphi at the point I upgrade; otherwise there is no point upgrading !
Stefan Glienke indeed. This is when you compile.
I was thinking about when IDE do load bpl’s
Tony Danby Just tried installing DevExpress 17.2.2 – the dxRichEdit package does not compile with 10.2.2 (the one from last week) due to some undeclared identifier so I guess that is not related to the dcu issue but something else in the 10.2.2 update.
Is this the type issue, Stefan Glienke?
devexpress.com – T587166 – Cannot install with Tokyo 10.2.2 | DevExpress Support Center
I didn’t try the initial 10.2.2, but TMS Component Pack and Eurekalog had no problems with this 10.2.2, at least.
Lars Fosdal Yes, and I think I nailed down the issue. Still waiting for my new 10.2.2 download to finish to confirm issue still exists. If it does it’s just another facepalm worthy code change.
Tony Danby Stefan Glienke Yes, this build fixes that error. We aim for binary compatibility in point releases, but had a bug this time. Build 2004 resolves it.
To All: Guys we’ve installed latest ISO after complete uninstall of 10.2.1 / 10.2.2 and now this installation is binary compatible with DevExpress 17.2.2 and also with 17.1.8 (because of problems and bugs in 17.2.2 we’re back to 17.1.8). Also other thirdparty-component-sets like TMS, Reportbuilder, Kbm etc. working fine with this new 10.2.2 build 2004. Great job embt
Yusuf Zorlu You say you are back to 17.1.8 because of problems; what are these problems ?
Tony Danby we had a lot of problems:
* Calendar and Dateselector does not show the holidays as hint when you move the cursor to the date marked as holiday
* unknown exception in connection with barmanager / ribbon at the moment.
* flickering in cxgrids
* and some more
but the main reason for back to 17.1.8 were the increased Exceptions. Had more than 100% raised support calls because of this. I think 17.2.2 is not tested enough for production. Lets wait for 17.2.3. You should also look into “Tickets” and you will see a lot users having problems with 17.2.2.
Yusuf Zorlu Hmmmm; thank you for that. I think I will be passing this conversation onto my work colleague. Think we might be better holding of until they fix all of this !
is there any other change in this build ? I don’t use 3rd party components…so do I need to reinstall this version ?
Paul TOTH If you don’t any future issue you encounter will raise the question “is that because of …”?
Where’s the ISO for this update? All I can see in the My Downloads area is for GSA.
Found it with a bit of trial and error:
