Kyley,<br><br>Just because it doesn't help produce .NET applications doesn't mean<br>that .NET isn't used by the application itself however the reason for<br>the SDK requirement is simple.<br><br>It is basically to get the document viewer for the Help. MS only ship
<br>the SDK help in Help 2.0 format and you can only get the document<br>viewer by installing the SDK.<br><br>There are also many parts of the IDE that use .NET<br> * Error Insight<br> * Help Insight<br> * Modeling<br>
* Data Explorer<br><br>I guess the install can be a PITA if you don't already have the SDK<br>installed. On a good note, I preinstalled the SDK and J# (used in<br>modeling) runtimes and the actual Delphi 2007 installed completed in
<br>under 10 minutes. Which is about twice as fast as the D2007 install.<br><br>cheers,<br>Jeremy<br><br>On 7/5/07, Kyley Harris <<a href="mailto:kyleyharris@gmail.com">kyleyharris@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>> Why in gods name is a NON-NET version forcing me to download and install a
