[DUG] D2007 help incomplete or install issue

[Paul Hectors]

Wow !!!

I thought there was something wrong with my setup but this makes me very
angry.
What a bad effort by CodeGear and how dissappointing.

I guess what adds insult to injury is that I can find all sorts of help
on things that are not relevant to a Delphi Win32 developer ( i.e. all the
.Net stuff and C++).

Unbelievable.
