[DUG] Windows 7 - compatibility issues

[PDS - John]

Hi Jason

 

I do not understand that my D4 installed and runs without any problems as an
XP SP app (without virtual PC installed) and D7 would required this
installation. Shouldn't this run just as easy an XP SP2 app as like my
installed D4?

Is running in XP mode a possible solution, you need virtual PC and XP mode
(free downloads on MS site). It can run apps in XP virtual PC, but as a
virtual PC, also good as the development environment is saved in Virtual PC,
so if a reinstall is required, your up and running very quickly.

Hi all

 

I bought this new flash pc with Windows 7 - 64 bits installed and (most
apps) run fine and fast:) 

 

I installed my older version Delphi 4 without any problems. It detected and
installed automatically as a Windows XP SP2 kind of application.

However, I can't get Delphi 7 installed due to compatibility issues. I tried
all install options but no luck. It should run as a Windows XP SP2
application I would say.

Just going ahead with installation any way installs the lot and even starts
Delphi, however does not run properly as basic presentations go wrong. Also
other related Delphi utilities do not run due to compatibility issues.

 

Any suggestions are more than welcome.

John
