[DUG] HELP! : Windows7 64 bits - Delphi install issues

[Jason Coley]

Have you tried running in Admin mode? Right Click, Run as Administrator
mode? Also, what happens if you disable the User Account Control?

 

Does the install fail or just say it isn't compatible, can you just
install anyway?

Subject: [DUG] HELP! : Windows7 64 bits - Delphi install issues

 

Hi all

 

I have this new pc (remember:) and try to install D7. Windows 7 doesn't
seem to find a compatible OS to run the SETUP.EXE from the Delphi CD. I
assumed that the whole idea of this GREAT feature of Windows 7
Professional is to allow running "old" software in e.g. XP mode.

The funny thing is that it let me install D4 without any problems at all
as a XP-SP2 application. So why doesn't it take D7, or is it just me?

Jason suggested to install virtual PC and XP mode, this might work but
defeats the whole purpose of Windows7 compatibility feature, doesn't it?

 

Any help, comment and suggestions are very welcome:)

John
