Today Embarcadero released a patch for RAD Studio, Delphi, and C++Builder 13 Florence.
The RAD Studio 13 September Patch provides quality improvements to the 13 release, focused on issues in the C++Builder IDE with USEFORM macros and the refactoring menu, a version mismatch in PAServer for MacOS, missing components in the Indy library integration, and a FireMonkey design time crash.
This patch is approximately 500MB to download. The details of the fixes and changes are in the readme file listed below.
Patch Installation Process
GetIt-based installation steps for this deferred package are very similar to what already described in the past (see for example ):
We’ll make the patch available also in the portal for manual download and installation, following the steps in the readme file included in the installation and in this blog post.
A couple of additional notes:

Installing this patch is highly recommended for all RAD Studio 13, Delphi 13, and C++Builder 13 customers.
Installation via GetIt
If you download the patch via GetIt, it is installed automatically, creating a backup of the files replaced. Notice that the actual download, approximately 500MB, happens while the patch is running in a console window (an operation that may take some time, depending on your connection speed).
Note: The patch includes an updated version of PAServer for MacOS and iOS. This is copied to the patch download folder, and you need to copy it over to your target Mac device and install it there manually.
Manual Download and Installation
This patch is also available in the download portal at my.embarcadero.com. Locate the RAD Studio 13 September Patch file and download it. After unzipping it, you can run the batch file included or you can manually expand the embedded ZIP file in the respective subfolders of the RAD Studio installation folder. You also have to install PAServer for MacOS, as indicated above.
Uninstallation steps (for GetIt installation)
To uninstall the patch and revert back to the 13 original version:
Open the Catalog Repository installation folder (there is a specific, new command in GetIt dialog to open the folder a packages is expended into)
Run the uninstall batch file
Only *after* you have cleared the patch, uninstall the package from GetIt

Patch Installation Process
GetIt-based installation steps for this deferred package are very similar to what already described in the past (see for example ):
- The patch availability is indicated in the Welcome page of the IDE
- As an alternative, search for it in the GetIt Package Manager
- Once you start the installation, it asks you to accept the patch EULA (which is the same of the product EULA) and it reminds you that you need to restart the IDE
- As the actual process starts, it opens a console. Remember you might have to accept the UAC system prompt to proceed, even if it might sit behind the console window. The entire installation process takes place outside of the IDE, in a command line console.
- During the process you’ll notice a number of warning for missing files. This is because the 13.0 RTM build was missing a number of Indy files included in the patch. The pathtool utility we use, issues a warning in this case (as it’s standard operation is to replace an existing file), but you can ignore it.
- Once the process is completed, the RAD Studio IDE should restart automatically
We’ll make the patch available also in the portal for manual download and installation, following the steps in the readme file included in the installation and in this blog post.
A couple of additional notes:
- If you install the patch via GetIt, the About Box in the IDE will indicate the patch has been installed, if you install manually, the information will be missing.
- In either case, you need to manually reinstall PAServer on your Mac, as explained in the readme
