[DUG] bordbk70.dll missing or not registered

[Laurence Bevan]

Hi John,

 

I had a similar problem when first installing Delphi 7 onto a Windows 8 machine.

 

The problem is that there are 2 versions of regsvr32. One is in C:\Windows\System32 which is where it would run from when you type “regsvr32 my.dll”. The other is in C:\Windows\SysWOW64. This is the one you need to register it from, so you should enter something like “C:\windows\sysWOW64\regsvr32 my.dll”. I can’t remember whether a reboot is necessary after doing that.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Regards,

Laurence Bevan

I am still getting this  BORdbk70.dll message.

 

I have uninstalled and reinstalled D7 and installed.

*         D7 installed at: C:\Borland \

*         BORdbk70.dll at C:\Borland\Common\Borland Shared\Debugger\

 

After finding out that it did not work, I have registered this dll using RUN: regsvr32  " C:\Borland\Common\Borland Shared\Debugger\bordbk70.dll". It confirmed registration but did not help.

 

Also tried installing an registering this dll at location C:\Program Files\Common Files\Borland\Debugger\

 

Does D7 run under Windows 8.1 at all?

 

Any help is much appreciated :) otherwise I won't be able to use my Delphi any more :(

 

John

As a general rule it is a very bad idea to install older versions of Delphi under the Program Files folder on Windows versions later than XP.  Older versions of the IDE do not behave well under the more restrictive policies in place on that folder since Vista.

I would strongly recommend that you back out your Delphi install entirely and start over, installing into some other folder entirely outside of Program Files.  I typically use a structure similar to:

    C:\Delphi\<version>

    C:\Delphi\Shared Files

 

For consistency I choose to install all my Delphi IDE's into this folder in this way.  And always run the installation setup.exe elevated (i.e. as an Administrator).

Hi all

I have installed D7 on my new laptop running Windows 8.1.
Running the program in debug-mode comes up with "bordbk70.dll missing or not
registered".
I have copied this bordbk70.dll from my old pc and put it in the directory
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Borland Shared\Debugger". That did not
help.
Then I browsed the internet and found a way to register this dll using
Regsvr32.exe. Although it said that it did register the dll it did not help
either.
Cleaned registery and rebooted, and no I'm stuck. Any ideas what I can do to
fix this?

Thanks a lot.
