[DUG] Windows 7 - compatibility issues

[Jason Coley]

Well I certainly don't know why, but just letting you know of the
virtual machine solution, which a lot of developers have 'warmed to' due
to ease of reinstallation of main OS.

 

I hope you find an answer, I know with D2007 and D2009 on Win7 x64 it
took me a while to get the debugger going until a hack was found.

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
