Delphi 6 update 2 error

I just bought a new laptop (a 64 bits one running Win8.1) and I thought it would be best if I use a virtual machine for my main programming environment.

I managed to install Delphi 6 Enterprise Edition but I am no longer able to install Update #2. I am getting this strange error stating that I need to install Update #2 before updating the file:

enter image description here

I only need to run the runtime library. The general update works, but I can't use my files (especially Indy) because they were compiled with a different file version.

I tried all workarounds. If I click No, the update technically happens, but I still get the message. I tried to manipulate the registries, but this still doesn't work. As I mentioned, the general update will not let me compile my project.

Has anyone ever encountered such an error?

Note from download side : You must install General Update 2 below in order to run the Delphi 6 Runtime Library Update 2.

you should install

  • 1.) D6_upd2_ent.exe (Basic Update before install del6_ent_rtl2) !
  • 2.) del6_ent_rtl2.exe

I don't know where you are getting D6_RTL2_ENT.exe from ?

Delphi 6 Update 2

Readme Delphi 6 Update 2

Third-party and add-on package issues

Some third-party and add-on packages may generate errors after installing Delphi 6 Update Pack 2.

If you encounter any such errors, uninstall the third-party package in Delphi6 (Component| Install Packages, select the package, click remove, and rebuild), and contact the third-party package provider for an updated package.

Related note: The functionality previously available in InvWiz60.bpl, a free add-on package installed by many Delphi 6 users, is installed with this update. If you previously installed InvWiz60, you should uninstall it to avoid conflicts with the new built-in functionality.

Update :

OP I am getting this strange error stating that I need to install Update #2 before updating the file:

The error message is normal if you try to install update rtl 2 without the necessary General update 2 to install.

You ask us about a strange error and ignore the installations instructions

You must install General Update 2 below in order to run the Delphi 6 Runtime Library Update 2.
