FireDAC Missing Components in RAD Studio 10.2

I am sharing a project built in RAD Studio 10.2 that uses FireDAC components.

The projects datamodule contains a TFDConnection component that has the DriverName set to 'ODBC'.

The other user who is using the exact same version of RAD Studio (have compared all version information) cannot compile the project. They get the following compile error:

Unit 'FireDAC.Phys.ODBC' not found.

If the other user looks on the tool palette under FireDAC Links there isn't a TFDPhysODBCDriverLink component available.

The one difference that I know about in the enviroment is I am running Win10 Pro, they are running Win10 Home. Could this cause the issue? If not, any ideas of what needs to be configured. Thanks.

Impossible to say (but I wouldn't blame OS). – Victoria
Does the other user have any 3rd party components installed? – MartynA
No 3rd party components installed. – PBDoc
On the other machine, in Delphi | Component Palette, how many FD Link components do you see on the FireDAC Links tab? – MartynA
14. They are missing all links below SQLite (DS,TBDX,Oracle,DB2, Infx, MSSQL,TData, ASA, ODBC, & Mongo links are all missing) – PBDoc

I'm guessing, but the difference you are seeing between your machine and your colleague's may be that you have different Delphi SKUs installed. SKU = stock-keeping unit, which for Delphi traditionally includes the Pro, Enterprise and Architect retail packages.

On the other machine, in Delphi | Component Palette, how many FD Link components do you see on the FireDAC Links tab?

  1. They are missing all links below SQLite (DS,TBDX,Oracle,DB2, Infx, MSSQL,TData, ASA, ODBC, & Mongo links are all missing

Well, the Link components that you can see are all in the package dclFireDAC250.Bpl. The ones which are missing are all in dclFireDACEnt250.Bpl.

So:

a) Does the other machine have the version of Delphi that includes dclFireDACEnt250.Bpl. I haven't checked but I'm guessing Ent stands for Enterprise. If not, that could be your answer. What is the Delphi SKU on the other machine?

b) If the other machine's Delphi SKU is supposed to include dclFireDACEnt250.Bpl, is that package on the other machine, and in the same folder as dclFireDAC250.Bpl? If not, copy it there, and use Component|Install packages in the IDE to try and install it.

Btw, I checked and on a machine that I have which runs Win10 64-bit Home, The Enterprise SKU of Tokyo has the DS,TBDX,Oracle,DB2, Infx, MSSQL,TData, ASA, ODBC, & Mongo links on it.
