How to fix Exec Error when compiling for Android?

Question

I have an app that has previously compiled successfully in Delphi Berlin for Windows 32 + 64 and Android, but when I edited it today, it will not compile for Android anymore.

Below is the compiler error, which contains several paths that do not exist. In particular, it has residue from a newer Delphi version that was a trial which I installed and later uninstalled. I found a file (C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\18.0\Path-After-Install.txt) that contains an exact copy of the error string, but editing that does nothing.

Can somebody tell me how to get this working again?

Answer 1

I did finally solve this by uninstalling and then reinstalling Android, but it took 2 goes. Second time I went through the registry and disk drive to remove all references to Android that were linked to RAD Studio before the reinstall.
