The installer for TMS VCL UI Pack is getting a major upgrade. Both the trial and the registered editions are moving to a new installation flow — faster to set up, easier to keep updated, and ready for the latest RAD Studio target platforms.

A modern installer experience

The new installers make setup more consistent and easier to use, whether you are evaluating TMS VCL UI Pack with the trial version or installing the registered version as an existing customer.

The migration also updates the underlying installer technology to cover the latest RAD Studio target platforms, including Windows on Arm (Arm64EC). 

Installing TMS VCL UI Pack

Registered version (via TMS Smart Setup)

The registered version of TMS VCL UI Pack will be available exclusively through TMS Smart Setup. Before installing please uninstall the classic installation via the control panel.

If you are new to TMS Smart Setup, see the Smart Setup documentation to install the tms command-line tool. Once it is set up, install TMS VCL UI Pack with:

tms install tms.vcl.uipack

Prefer a visual workflow? You can also install the product through TMS Dashboard, a central hub for managing TMS component installations and updates.

Trial version

Evaluating TMS VCL UI Pack? Download the trial from the TMS VCL UI Pack product page: click Free Trial, enter your email address, and choose your IDE. The trial downloads instantly, and you'll receive a trial key which can be entered during setup. 

Moving forward

With this migration, TMS VCL UI Pack gains a cleaner installation experience, tighter alignment with TMS Smart Setup, and better support for today's multi-platform Delphi & C++Builder development workflows.

This is part of a broader move across the entire TMS product portfolio. After TMS VCL UI Pack, the next product family planned for the modernized installer flow is the TMS FNC family.
