I just ventured into writing my first socket based programs in Delphi 2010. I tried with Indy, no success, just even writing a simple client and server that could send packets. Then I used TTCPServer and TTCPClient, same results using the following ‘simple as it gets’ demos :-

Emmbercadero TTCPServer demo

Emmbercadero TTCPClient demo

I had fired up 2 instances of the IDE for the client and server apps. I was pretty determined to avoid the shame of posting a question related to the socket based version of ‘helloworld’, and I just spent 2 days trying everything.

Well I just decided to chuck the towel in and ask you guys for help, before i did, I just run the exes from OUTSIDE the IDE… and yeah, they worked! They worked the whole time, but not from inside the IDE.

Can I run these programs inside the IDE sucessfully? Thanks.

    Thanks for all your help. I just found the solution to my problem…

    I had some time ago installed a trial of a program called Diamond Port Explorer which had since expired. When I was trying to get a simple Indy TIdTCPServer working I was getting error 10146 (or 10106 can’t remember) which was ‘failed to initialise’. I also nocticed the the Ide event log a module unload occurred at the point I tried to set TIdTCPServer.Active:= true on dcsws2.dll – which is a dll from Diamond PortExplorer (which was not actually running).

    So I uninstalled Diamond PortExplorer, and now I have no problem!
