What is “HotfixLevel 2” in Delphi XE7?

Question

I have found

"HotfixLevel"=dword:00000002

in the registry of a previous installment of Delphi XE7. The current installment does not have this key. What does it mean? There are other updates beyond Update 1?

The key is located in:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Embarcadero\BDS\15.0]

I have Delphi XE7 Update 1.

Answer 1

Hot fixes are updates released outside the normal update schedule. It seems that you have, on one of your Delphi installations, installed the hot fix identified by that value.
