Exception ENonAIRException when installing custom package

Question

I have a custom package (which is using FibPlus and IBExpress). Package builds ok, but when trying to install it it gives me this exception : Exception ENonAIRException. Does anyone know something about it? What it generates it?

LE: found http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/VCL/2010/en/DesignEditors.EDesignPropertyError_Members - but it doesn't help

LE2: error is raised when installing the package, and the IDE is trying to load the package. bellow the madExcept report:

Answer 1

I am probably way off track here but here's a scenario that happened to me relating to something similar. I hope this helps.

I have a big project that, for some reason, I could no longer open up the project options or edit the build configurations. I too thought that an improperly installed component or package was the culprit.

I turned off the EurekaLog IDE integration, tried to open the project options, then saw a Delphi error message about a wrong platform. That got me playing with the 2 platforms available "Unknown Platform Win64" which is weird because this is a Win7 machine but Ok, I'll play, the other Platform was simply "Windows" (the activated platform).

I disabled the "Windows" Platform, now my project options open, I can edit the build configurations and my darn coreide150.bpl error that has been driving me crazy for weeks is finally gone.

Answer 2

For what it's worth I struggled with this today (Delphi XE). As @DavidHeffernan said, it had to do with module loading. In my case a long-standing package I was trying to re-install after a change requiring a call to a .DLL gave this uninterpretable error message. When I re-wrote things so it didn't, all was well again.

Answer 3

For the benefit of any future searchers:

As well as the previous suggestions, check where any "requires" packages are being built to. I had this issue with a third-party package and it turned out to be that it was building into its own folder structure, rather than the ide default location. Reasonable enough, except that the output folder for the packages was not in my system path, so the install failed with this error because the dependent bpl could not be found.
