Hello.
Hello
I installed this version:
 0.9.29
2010-10-17
2.4.0
SVN: 27722

When trying to create a method of any control, throws me this error:
(spanish)
El editor de componentes de la clase "TDefaultComponentEditor" ha
creado el error:
"No se ha podido encontrar el método. Por favor corrija el error
mostrado en la ventana de mensajes".

En la ventana de mensajes:
unit1.pas(8,66) Error: unidad no encontrada: Dialogs


(english - google translate)
The component editor of class "TDefaultComponentEditor" has created
the error:
"Unable to find the method. Please correct the error shown in the
message window."

In the message window:
Unit1.pas (8.66) Error: unit not found: Dialogs


I rescanned the path for sources, but doesn't work.

Can anyone help me? or... reinstall an older version?

p.e. SVN: 27358 (works!!)

Make a "clean build" of Lazarus, it usually helps.
$ make clean all

definitely not. just check the paths and rescan fpc source directory. 
(the error you experienced was introduced recently and it's easy to
get past it.)

platforms. Just ensure bin/$FPCTARGET is in your path.

Hello:

Can you explain the procedure in detail?

QuoteCan you explain the procedure in detail?In Win XP, right click My
Computer->Properties->Advanced->Environment Variables. In system
variables (or user if you don't want other users use it), look for
Path, edit and add fpc's bin/$FPCTARGET directory. With default
installation, it should be C:\lazarus\fpc\bin\i386-win32.

Now open command prompt, cd to lazarus directory, and type: make clean
all

i'd leave that as a last resort.

having installed lazarus PLENTY of times, i've seen them all - can't
create an event by double clicking the button / can't find this unit /
can't find that unit... and i've never needed to rebuild lazarus over
that. just fix the paths if needed and rescan. quit and restart
lazarus just in case. done.

check the numbers in fpc dir  (c:\lazarus\fpc\2.#.#\...) you may have
an old version there.

and make sure that the paths in options dialog start with C:\lazarus,
not c:\lazarus
