[DUG] [computing] DElphi XE2 suddenly stops working

Fri Jul 26 21:52:19 NZST 2013

Hi again everyone,

OK, the current situation is that I can start Delphi XE2 only when using
"bds32.exe -rCleanInstall". Running without that command line argument
causes the crash, so this argument doesn't actually wipe anything, just
loads without.

I need to uninstall the components I have and gexperts plus DevArt's
DBForge from XE2 but being unable to start it, I can't uninstall.

Someone mentioned changing the registry but with both Delphi7 and DelphiXE2
installed, I'm not sure in the registry where the entries are.

Any assistance here would be much appreciated.
