I just installed a new laptop and installing TMS is awesome! Just a couple of commands and without touching the Subscription Manager I am ready to go. Thanks you so much!
Now I get it. The first video I saw wasn't quite explaining to me. Great product! Again. And I have found a "hidden" feature in the yaml file: you can configure the Delphi version and platforms for each product in particular - which is fantastic
Does TMS Smart Setup really work also in cases where I have lots of third-party packages installed? You know this fails with the current TMS installers!
Hi Holger, I was wondering if all previous components installed with subscription manager have to be uninstalled before using Smart Setup? Thx in advance
Tobias, this is an excellent question that I should have covered thinking about it. Previous installer or manual installations will have to be removed/uninstalled. SmartSetup does not use the Windows Installer registry and is not able to recognize previous installs etc. On a positive note, this will be the last time you have to invoke the installer for an uninstall...
😂 Peter, yah hard to believe that with two commands all this is possible. Think of NPM how many switches you have to learn. As Delphi developers this does not pose a challenge at all (I read your comment as sarcasm as the command line is essential for version control, administration and other tasks these days). If you were serious about not using CLI in 2024, TMS does offer a GUI for certain. Any CLI tool is more efficient than UI though as you can automate the process and only have to create your batch file/script once.

Yes, TMS did a very good job of making it easy to use but at the same time not to compromise on a high level of customizability.

If you refer to library path size length issue, the answer is yes

@@holgerflick 💯😊
Is it possible to use this without the commandline, just with a GUI? I don't want to learn the whole TMAS CLI just to install TMS products!
Yes, there is a GUI too

How can i Install web core through this smart setup?
Sorry, at this moment, TMS WEB Core is still one of the few products not yet enabled for TMS Smart Setup (due to its setup complexity)
