Cannot compile ISAPI module for 64bit Windows target in XE8

[passion1]

@All

 

I'm using uniGUI 1.0.0.1365 with Delphi XE8.

Within XE8 I select

File, New, Other.

Then select uniGUI for Delphi and select Application Wizard.

Then select ISAPI Module.

Press 'Yes' to enable "Visual Component Library"

 

Now I have Project1 with a MainForm that I want to compile.

But only Target Platform available is 32 bit Windows.

It compiles without problem for 32bit target but I need 64bit target.

 

QUESTION1: How can I set 64 bit target? Why is 64bit target not available by default?

 

I did it the following way, but I'm sure there should be an easier way:

 

Within Project 1.dproj I changed the Platform setting for Win64 from False to True:

 

<Platforms>

                <Platform value="Android">False</Platform>

                <Platform value="iOSDevice32">False</Platform>

                <Platform value="iOSDevice64">False</Platform>

                <Platform value="iOSSimulator">False</Platform>

                <Platform value="OSX32">False</Platform>

                <Platform value="Win32">True</Platform>

                <Platform value="Win64">True</Platform>

            </Platforms>

 

 

Now I was able to see a Win64 target within XE8.

I then selected 64bit Windows as target and tried to Build Project1 again.

Now I get an error:

[dcc64 Fatal Error] uIdGLobal.pas (535): F2613 Unit 'Windows' not found

 

 

QUESTION 2:  How do I fix the problem above. How can I compile a simple MainForm for Win64 target if I have selected 'ISAPI module'?

Hi,

 

Are you using a 32-bit Windows development PC?!

 

Best regards.

Your problem seems to be related to your current .dproj file.

It happens in Delphi sometimes and  it should not happen in a new project.

This is with 64 bit Windows 10.

Even if I delete the dproj file and then opens the Project again in XE8, then there is only two targets available:

32 bit Windows and IOS Device 64 bit.

How can I set or add 64 bit Windows as target? 

[Farshad Mohajeri]

Can you test this with a regular VCL project?

[passion1]

Same story. So the problem is with my Delphi XE8?

This PC is running WIndows 10 - 64bit.

So how can I fix my XE8?

Thanks for any help.

maybe you have not checked 64-bit compiler option while installing XE8.

I have just installed Delphi 10.1 Berlin update 2 and I made very sure that I installed 64 bit, but same story.

The only target that's available is Windows 32 bit.

Did you install third-party components ?

[Farshad Mohajeri]

Delphi edition?

[passion1]

Yes, I did install 3rd party components.

Right clicking over "Target Platform" and selecting "Add Platform..." allowed me to add 64 bit Windows as target.

Then I also checked the checkbox  to make 64 bit the active platform and now everything works.

Problem solved.

Thanks.
