The code completion needs access to the FPC sources cause it can't read 
the compiled unit files (yet). So just download the 2.4.2 source package 
from the download page and extract it to a directory where you like 
(e.g. the same directory where the 2.4.2 binaries are). Then you can set 
the source dir to this directory.

Have you set the compiler path to your new 2.4.2 compiler?
Maybe this will solve itself if you adjust the source path...
