Deploying a FMX project to another computer with pserver - deployment

I am trying to deploy my FMX C++ application to another computer using pserver. I'm starting with the debugging version I have running perfectly on my dev computer. Both screens are the same resolution. I have a Windows desktop view working on my dev computer. When I deploy to another windows 10 computer. The layout, buttons and images are all wrong. I have 10 enabled and visible buttons at the bottom missing and a Timage that is no longer centred on the page. But it's start position is now the centre of the page. I even have hidden and disabled video frames on the right, that are visible now. It doesn't even look like my master view.
I have: C++ Builder Indy 10.6.2.0
Update: 10.4 Update 2
on Windows 10.0 Build 19044 64 bit
Working:
Broken deployed version:
I even tried just coping the Bin from my local computer to the new computer and them copy over any missing files from the broken deployed version. The result was still broken.
Question: What is the name of the layout file(corrupted) that is being copied with the project. Even my dev Master view doesn't look like the broken one.
I have made another utility from a sample tabbed FMX multi platform, that works/deploys fine. This was a new project, built from a "New" blank template FMX multi platform. Now I have not tried the new one on any other platforms. The Utility, I tried on Android and it's layout is off a little. But the windows version looks good.
Thanks for any HELP.

Brand-New MAUI .NET 7 Project Fails to Display the Welcome Page in VS 17.4.3

I understand .NET 7 is new, but I think a workflow that should work out-of-the-box is to create a new MAUI template project (".NET MAUI App"), choose a name for that, and successfully build the just-created project. On my system, this consistently fails with this warning:
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Warning XA1004 File 'obj\Debug\net7.0-android\lp\101\jl\res\..\res.zip' already exists. Ch0501 C:\Program Files\dotnet\packs\Microsoft.Android.Sdk.Windows\33.0.4\tools\Xamarin.Android.EmbeddedResource.targets 36
While I do not like this warning on a brand-new project, there is another issue: I nothing happens when I launch the project by clicking Windows Machine:
For .NET 6, this would launch a "welcome" form, welcoming you to MAUI. Now, the program runs but then ends without presenting any UI.
How are users expected to get started with MAUI with issues like this? I will single-step and debug to try to see what's going on, but shouldn't this just work??
Does anyone familiar with .NET 7 MAUI know why I am encountering these issues? What do I need to do to run the app so that it displays the MainPage "welcome" form on Windows?
I decided that I don't have time for MAUI's broken-ness. I visited several devoted MAUI forums, and many users have complained about functionality that's broken out-of-the-box using the latest of all available IDEs, frameworks, and tooling. MAUI's bug list is ever-growing and outpaces the rate at which bugs are fixed (often needing further fixes due to lack of QA testing). The fact that my basic question about MAUI received a few dozen reads (as of this writing) and no useful reply suggests that broad understand of MAUI fundamentals does not yet exist in the developer community. I don't have time or interest in being an extension of MAUI's QA team and to work with tools whose "hello world" out-of-the-box sample cannot run on a new installation. It's just ridiculous.
I installed Uno 4 instead, and their "hello world" app ran without a hitch (using .NET 7) on Windows and on my tethered Android device. So I plan to use Uno for my multi-platform C#/.NET 7 project. Maybe in the distant future, MAUI will be ready to be reconsidered--for now, it's a pet project that desperately needs some professional attention.

Sample work-flow when using PhpStorm & GitHub on a Remote Server?

This is my current work-flow:
I have a web-server on my development machine (on the same network). It houses my project & I use Notepad++ to make live-edits to the code. I make code edits from my laptop, refresh the page (which I am accessing thru hostname on my laptop) to see my PHP/HTML edits & when I'm satisfied, I merge to the master branch on GitHub.
In an effort to become more familiar with IDEs for PHP, and have some great debugging capabilities, I want to start using PhpStorm.
I thought of moving the web-server & GitHub Desktop to my laptop and just leaving the databases on the development machine, but that creates other issues.
My work-flow might not be modern. Could you help me understand how a new & similar work-flow could potentially be setup with PhpStorm in the mix? How have you seen it done?
I'm using Laravel which has a ton of files, so constant full-syncs instead of deltas would be too much time wasted.

Seeing two instances of my app in eclipse servers pane?

I just upgraded to IBM Mobile First (worklight) 7.1.0.00.20150913-2345.
I've noticed that my app now shows twice in Eclipse servers pane. Other services shows twice too. Is this normal or something in my configuration is causing it?
This is a recent regression that was introduced in MobileFirst Platform Foundation 7.1. It is harmless, but will be taken care of regardless...
If you so choose you can open a PMR (support ticket), but it is scheduled to be fixed regardless.

Embedded Resources accessed by WebResource.axd links not working in production environment

Ok, this has me stumped.
I have several server controls defined in a VB.NET .NET 4 project, lets call it WebControls, to be shared with other projects in the solution. WebControls uses embedded resources (images) so that I don't have to remember to include images in each project that reference the controls. I use Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl to set image ImageUrl attributes in the server controls.
This all works fine in my application X that uses the controls from WebControls on my dev server. However, when I push this to production, the images represented as embedded resources do not show up.
My production server runs IIS 7.0. I know that disabling compression does not affect anything and that the proper IIS handlers are present for web resource .axd files.
What is even stranger is that I have copies of this application (named differently of course) on that same production server and everything works fine in those, but not in X. The application pool uses .NET 4 integrated and will not work on classic mode.
Any suggestions?
Figured this out. Very strange. I rebuilt my WebControls class and my other applications in debug mode and pushed those .dlls to my production server and everything worked fine. Then, I rebuilt in release mode and pushed the .dlls to production again, replacing the debug .dlls, and again all worked fine. Seems to have been an issue with VS 2010 not clearing out the dlls correctly when I cleaned and rebuilt my applications for release.

CrystalReportViewer deployment

I created a VS 2008 C# MVC application which uses CrystalReportViewer to display a report. All the .dll files I used are either version 12.0.2000 or 12.0.1100.
The application works well on my localhost and the dev environment.
When I deployed it (on a vista virtual machine with IIS 7.0) I ran two files :
1) CRRuntime_12_2_mlb.msi
2) CRRedist2008_x86.msi
Still when I open the viewer to view a report all I see is an empty view( the view only contains the CrystalReportViewer so obviously something is not working with the viewer on the deployment machine)
Can anyone give me clear steps on how to deploy a web app with CrystalReportViewer???
I looked around and could not find a clear instruictions.....just seems that everyone tries stuff until it works.
Thanks very much in advance
Susan
I have got the same problem like above. Does somebody have a solution?
The web project using the following controls:
CrystalReportSource (Version 12.0.2000.0)
CrystalReportViewer (Version 12.0.2000.0)
On the server I have only installed CRRuntime_12_2_mlb.msi.
Best regards,
Daniel
