<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I got a warning about a compatibility
issue at install time was still able to proceed with the install. After
installing I got a further error/warning, but was still able to re-assure
Windows that the installation was actually successful.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Subsequently every time I start
D7 I get a warning (I think because D7 is modifying files in the Program Files
installed folder). This doesn’t seem to be avoidable, but equally doesn’t
appear to have any adverse consequences, it’s just an annoyance. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-NZ>Hi all<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-NZ><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-NZ>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></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-NZ>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></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-NZ>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></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-NZ><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-NZ>Any help, comment and suggestions are very
welcome:)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
