<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Jason suggested to install virtual PC and XP mode, this
might work but defeats the whole purpose of Windows7 compatibility feature,
doesn't it?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any help, comment and suggestions are very welcome:)<o:p></o:p></p>
