Several developers reporting an issue where the C++Builder IDE code editor structure window was blank after they upgraded their Windows machine to Windows 10. The issue is reproducible on these scenarios:
- The user has a machine with a Windows version lower than Windows 10 (Windows 8.1, 8, 7,…)
- The user has RAD Studio installed (all versions are affected)
- The user upgrades to Windows 10
In our R&D testing, we have reproduced the issue on 2 machines after upgrading to Windows 10
- Windows 7-32 bit with XE8 Update 1 installed
- Windows 8.1-64 bit with XE9 23.0.20488.2497.1 installed
Once the upgrade to Windows 10 has finished, the structure pane for C++ applications is blank.
Microsoft has noted the issue with J# 2.0 on Windows 10. The workaround is:
- Uninstall the Microsoft Visual J# 2.0 Redistributable Package
- As the uninstaller is broken, you must enter into the registry and delete all the entries with 'J#'
- Reboot the machine
- Install the Microsoft Visual J# 2.0 Redistributable Package:
- 32bit: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=4712
- 64bit: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=15468
- Reboot the machine
