I have found

"HotfixLevel"=dword:00000002

in the registry of a previous installment of Delphi XE7. The current installment does not have this key. What does it mean? There are other updates beyond Update 1?

The key is located in:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Embarcadero\BDS\15.0]

I have Delphi XE7 Update 1.

Hot fixes are updates released outside the normal update schedule. It seems that you have, on one of your Delphi installations, installed the hot fix identified by that value.

  • Yes. I see this. But which one? How did I get it? :) Do you think it was installed by Delphi's background updater? Weird to ask the Internet about who installed updates in MY computer? :) It must be the autoupdater.... But I don't remember to ever get a notification from that updater. I got an electronic download containing Update1 (5GB) from Embarcadero and since then the updater never did something. – Gabriel Oct 27 '15 at 10:25
  • Hot fixes aren't installed automatically. FWIW, full updates are not installed automatically. A human is responsible for this. If you want all your installations to be the same, you should reinstall. – David Heffernan Oct 27 '15 at 10:27
  • That's what I did, I reinstalled from the same ISO. – Gabriel Oct 27 '15 at 13:11
  • Did you delete that entry from the registry before reinstalling? – David Heffernan Oct 27 '15 at 13:28
  • Yes. What I did was to reinstall the whole OS and Delphi. Then I compared the current registry with the old ones (from previous Win installation) . The old registry contain the key. The new registry don't. – Gabriel Oct 27 '15 at 16:51
