How can I disable Castalia in XE8?


Suppose that I wish to disable the newly integrated Castalia that is introduced in XE8. How do I go about doing that in a clean way? I cannot see anything on the Castalia menu that allows me to disable it by setting one single option.

Reasons why one might wish to disable Castalia include:


Solution

  • You have 2 options

    1) modify the shortcut to the Delphi (RAD Studio) IDE, adding the parameter /NOCASTALIA

    2) disable the castalia expert from the registry

    Go the the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Embarcadero\BDS\16.0\Known IDE Packages\Delphi key and then place a underscore _ in front of the description of the Castalia package, in that way the package is not loaded.
