I'm trying to install SynEdit into my newly upgraded Delphi 10.1 Berlin Starter Update 1, but it won't work. Someone else also seem to be having this problem, but I do not know how to fix it. https://forums.embarcadero.com/thread.jspa?messageID=850362

Can someone help me please? I'm trying to use the GetIt Package Manager. I also tried installing it from the source which I downloaded from the Internet.

All I know is that it works in Delphi 10 Seattle for me. – Jerry Dodge
What happens if you forget the Getit Manager and download and install SynEdit manually? – MartynA
I had to use the manual install too (10.1 Berlin Architect). GetIt didn't work for me, in Berlin. It works fine in Seattle. – Rudy Velthuis
It worked before the update and on previous versions of Delphi. Installing it manually gives me an access violation error. – Shaun Roselt
Is the one you're installing explicitly made for 10.1? – Jerry Dodge

So I was able to fix the problem myself after two days of struggling.

So what I did was I completely uninstalled Delphi 10.1 Berlin Update 1 from my computer and deleted all of the files I could find which the uninstaller didn't remove and then I also downloaded the SynEdit files again from https://github.com/SynEdit/SynEdit and then I went to the GetIt Package Manager and tried to install it from there, but it still gave me an access violation error. After this I tried installing it from the downloaded source and then it seemed to work.

So now it is fixed. Thanks.

I'm assuming that some files somewhere were left behind from the previous version of Delphi and this needed to be removed first.
