This is a common error. Try this:

shut the IDE down.
run regedit.
go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Embarcadero\BDS\21.0\KnownIDE Packages
find the entry $(BDS)\Bin\LivePreview270.bpl and change the data from "Embarcadero FireUI Live Preview Package" to "__Embarcadero FireUI Live Preview Package" (so, just add two underscores in front of the text)
start the IDE.

Thanks, saved me a reinstall... Happened after patching 11.2 via GetIt- shouldn't have touched 10.4! – Gerry Coll Mar 02 '23 at 23:48
