Return To ShopRAD Studio 11.3 Alexandria Patch #1 disponible
Today Embarcadero released a patch for RAD Studio, Delphi, and C++Builder 11.3 Alexandria. This patch addresses several issues in RAD Studio 11.3, including a content type parsing issue with REST requests and skipping some database events, some errors in the IDE and debugger, and some missing files for the new TBiometricAuth component. Installing this patch is recommended for all RAD Studio 11.3 customers.
GetIt-based installation steps for this deferred package are very similar to what already described in the blog post https://blogs.embarcadero.com/rad-studio-11-alexandria-patch-1-available/. Notice that you also have the ability to “dismiss” a patch and not be reminded about it in the Welcome Page any more, even without installing it. Notice also that if you install the patch via GetIt the IDE About Box will indicate the patch has been installed.
In this case you download the patch ZIP file from the my.embarcadero.com portal (where it will be available shortly), you’ll have to install it manually, following similar steps of the automated install. You need to manually close the RAD Studio IDE before you install the patch (you’ll see an error if the IDE is running) and follow the steps in the readme.
Additionally, we have already released an update to the local help files on the docs site, see links below in the readme, and we’ll make the same update available in GetIt shortly.

RAD Studio 11.3 Patch #1 Readme
This patch addresses several issues in RAD Studio 11.3, including a content type parsing issue with REST requests and skipping some database events, some errors in the IDE and debugger, and some missing files for the new TBiometricAuth component. Installing this patch is recommended for all RAD Studio 11.3 customers. This patch is about 325MB to download.
Installation via GetIt
If you download the patch via GetIt, it is installed automatically, creating a backup of the files replaced. However, because PAServer is installed on remote computers, you need to manually reinstall PAServer on the target platforms you are working with, following the steps at: https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/en/Installing_the_Platform_Assistant_on_Windows
Manual Download and Installation
This patch is also available in the download portal at my.embarcadero.com. In this case, after downloading and expanding the ZIP file, you should run the patch.R113.patch1_install.bat file or manually expand the R113.patch1.zip into the respective subfolders of the RAD Studio installation folder. You also need to update PAServer on target platforms as discussed above.
Uninstallation Steps
If you installed the patch via GetIt:
- Open the Catalog Repository installation folder and move to the patch folder
- Run the patch.R113.patch1_uninstall.bat file
- Only *after* you have cleared the patch, uninstall the package from GetIt
If you installed the patch manually:
- Open the folder you expanded the patch ZIP file into
- Run the patch.R113.patch1_uninstall.bat file
- Delete the folder and patch ZIP file
Local Help File Update
Separately, we are making available an update of the 11.3 local help files in GetIt and at https://docs.embarcadero.com/products/rad_studio/ (see the ZIP files for Offline CHM Help and Offline Libraries CHM Help)
