I've just installed the trial version of Steema TeeChart Pro 2020 VCL/FMX for RAD Studio 10.2 Tokyo into my Win10 dev VM. The installation went normally - it raised the issue of the missing GDI HPP files, which I downloaded and installed before continuing - and the install reported that it completed without errors. However, when I start the IDE or when trying to enable the package from within the IDE, I get a missing-entry-point error for @System@Net@HttpClient@Win@TWinHttpLib@$bcctr$qqrv in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steema Software\Steema TeeChart Pro VCL FMX 2020.29\Delphi25\Delphi25.win32\Bin\DclTeePro925.bpl. I've cleared any other potential conflicting packages. Anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on clearing it?

Contact Steema directly for support for their trial product.

OK. Their website seemed to indicate that support could be found here as well.

@SteveS and it should. I had issues with new TeeChart Pro and was unable to resolve.. I ended up using TMS Advanced Charts, worth a look.

@John Easley, thanks - what problems did you have? I was installing it for the gauge controls, as my boss loved the look they offered and wanted me to try them as a possible replacement for the older IOComp gauge controls we've been using... but if they're problematic, I'll look elsewhere.

@SteveS what version of Delphi are you using? Make sure that the TeeChart version you are installing supports the version you are using. Let me know.

After further searching, I found a link to the Steema forum where this issue is discussed. The answer to this is indeed one of versioning. I was running 10.2.2 but not the last hotfix; the hotfix addresses a bug in the RTL's HTTP support, which was causing the load issue.
I've updated to 10.2.3, which clears the Steema problem, but be aware that the upgrade requires a full uninstall of the earlier version, so you'll need to save all your environment config, uninstall 10.2.x, install the 10.2.3 version (6Gb download) and re-install any GetIt or other 3rd-party packages.
