[DUG] Installing Delphi 7 onto laptop with no CD drive

[Steve Peacocke]

Hi Guys,

Yes, Gary reminded me that it was on a very, very old email address that I
registered that old D7.

Does anyone know if I can install XE2 onto an external drive? I only have
14GB left on my SSD - gone are the days when 8GB was big enough for
everything I needed.

Steve
