First day with production development on D2005

I've been testing D2005 now with demo projects on update 3 with small
amounts of problems. Still very slow when opening forms/datamodules etc. the
first time, but acceptable until the next major version.
So I installed all commonly used components on our projects. FastReport,
DevExpress components, Jedi VCL etc. This was done ok. Opened the project,
and choose Win32. Got an error because a third party component was not
installed but used in the form. Forgot on of the packages when installing.
Ok, pressed Ignore All and then Close All. Bam! First exception in
coreide90.bpl. Into the registry to activate the exceptiondiag90.bpl for
Exception info sending to QC. For some strange reason this is not enabled
default, and you have to change the blank value to "(Untitled)" for it to be
loaded. Ok. Loaded D2005 again, and did the same routine. Bam! Got a send
button, made a description in the wizard and entered login and password.
Ok.. My same login has two different passwords for QC and login to the
community site, took a shot at one of them (no way to change it in QC).
Choose the wrong password, pressed back, entered new password and next. And
there it was with "Error" at the top as before, but now both previous and
next button was disabled. No way to come anywhere, and had to kill D2005. In
again, do the same things over and now choose the right password. Ok, it was
sendt finally. Back to the IDE to install the components missing. One of
them was kbmMemTable. This one is split in one design package and one
runtime. Compiling the runtime gave me no problems. But compiling the
designtime after, gave a F2141 Bad file format: "kbmMemD9Run.dcp"
Still, it did create the bpl and dcp file for the design time package. And
there was no other existing kbmMemD9Run.dcp. It was renamed to D9 just for
that purpose. So the previous build did create the one it was using, and
there was no error or anything when building it. So this is an error
somewhere in the compiler maybe.. Ok. Now we are up in 3 errors so far...
Then I closed D2005, and got me a nice exception in coreid90.bpl again. Ok.
Described it and sendt it to QC. After closing the exception, well I got me
another exception.. This time inside exceptiondiag90.bpl. So the exception
handler may have problems handling exceptions when closing D2005. Described
where the error and sendt it. Now we are up in 5 errors.. And I am getting
very unconfortable with the whole IDE.
Not giving up yet.
Installed a second component to the palette. Just a small calendar, nothing
special. But after this one got installed, whenever I tried choosing any
component on the Tool Palette, the focus changed to sourceview and the
component list dissappeared. Surprise!
Removed the component again, and everything was normal. Checked the
component, nothing special at all there, only thing is that it only
registers one little component on its own group. Installed it again, and
changed to embedded mode. Now it was working.. Changed to non embedded, and
the components just disappear whenever I push them again. So this component
could only be used with embedded modus, as it appears... This is very odd
indead. And there is no error when installing or compiling the package. Only
ordinary registering is performed in the package. And now I'm up in 6
obscurd things happening within 2 hours.
It's been 2 hours now, and already I'm up in 4 QC reports (not reported
everything yet).
Oh. It's so nice to work with such a stable environment. And it's so nice of
Borland to release it in the state they did, and even after 3 updates have
it this way.
Well, back to D7 we go again.
