[DUG] HELP! Delphi 2010 DCC32.EXE for Trial please?

[Jeremy North]

This is a DevExpress issue.

It is possible to manually compile their packages and I'm sure you'd
accomplish this in about an hour. You won't break anything by
compiling them out of order, you'll be told what is needed.

The command line compiler has never shipped with a trial version of the product.

The second report provides a list of their products, which may be the
order to compile them in.

Took me 10 minutes to do a search in their support database and find
these reports (there are other reports as well).
