Installation
- Make sure you run this as administrator, you will need the privs.
- Run the Delphi Installer. Use defaults for the file locations, ignore the incompability warnings.
- Dont start Delphi 7 as it will complain when starting a project about unable to rename delphi32. $. dro in the/program files/Delphi directories. and something about debug options requiring a change.
So there are access problems, as to be expected. Windows 7 is a lot more robust, so directories are better protected.
Solve the access problems
- Open the properties on C:/program files/delphixxx directory.
- On the first tab clear the read-only attribute
- Open the Security Tab
- Give users full access to C:/program files/delphixxx directory
Now Delphi can be used to write programs again.
2. The help file cannot be used.
