IDE Fix Pack dev-snapshot supports Windows 10 Insider Preview

On of the IDE Fix Pack patches (IDE.Startup.Fast) fails if it is used in the Windows 10 Insider Preview. The newest development snapshot now supports the Preview. The incompatibility was caused by Windows 10 Insider Preview using “int3” ($CC) instead of “nop” ($90) for code alignment. It looks like Mircosoft uses a kind of debug build. The patch now supports both opcodes so it should be fine if Microsoft should revert to “nop”.

    Hi Andy,

    Should this be compatible with XE8 with Update 1 installed?

    Hello,

    is there still an option to improve compilation speed for the C++ compiler.
    I see you only have a dcc32 version, but no bcc32 version.
    Could anything be done, because I really liked it with Borland 2006.

    regards,
    Bart

      The file accessing changes were applied to the IDE. And IDE Fix Pack also improves the IDE’s code insight speed a little bit.
      But there are no further optimization planned. And my spare time is even not enough to manage IDE Fix Pack and DDevExtensions. So adding a BCB part is a no-go.

      IDE Fix Pack Dev-snapshot for Windows 10 Insider Preview seems to work for Windows 10 also.

    I too got the same message that ACMer posted, but with XE7 with windows 10. I had to remove IDE FixPack to prevent the same error message every time I started XE7.
