Occasional errors with 32-bit Delphi 7 application on Windows 7 64-bitHi,
I have a 32-bit Delphi 7 application which was deployed on some machines with Windows 7 64-bit. The application occasionally displays errors such as:
"Error reading ppDBText37.Border.Color: Invalid property value"
or
"Error reading Label24.Font.Ch: Property Ch does not exist" (here the name "Charset" was apparently truncated to "Ch")
I checked how those properties are declared on the form where the errors occurred, and all seems ok:
- First form (where "Error reading ppDBText37.Border.Color: Invalid property value" occurs):

Installation of Delphi 7 onto Windows 7 64 bit platform.Hello,
I am attempting to install Delphi 7 onto Windows 7, 64 bits, and keep getting the message: " Unable to rename C:\Program Files (x86)\Borland\Delphi7\Bin\delphi32.$$$ to
'C:\Program Files (x86)\Borland\Delphi7\Bin\delphi32.dro' ". How do I get around this error, or is it even possible?
Thank you very much in advance. John Shyer

Delphi 2006 in Windows 7 32 bit / Windows Server 2008Hi All,
I need to install Delphi 2006 IDE in my new windows 2007 system. Could you please advise me whether Delphi 2006 will be supported in Windows 7 / Server 2008.
If 2006 version is not supported please advise from which version onwards will be supported in Windows 7 / windows server 2008.
Many thanks.
Thanks
Windows 7/ 2008 did not exist when Delphi 2006 was released, so this
combination is untested. Most likely, if you follow these guidelines:

OS's.
If you want something we stand behind, you ...

Windows 7 - 64 bitsHello! I know that this is probably not a Delphi issue, but I ask, just
in case... perhaps someone had a similar problem...
I use D2007, Firebird 2.5 and IBX components, and ClientDatasets (I know
IBX doesn't support FB, but I just use it in a very simple way, so
there's no problem with that - I think)
A customer of mine has this problem: Using Windows 7 64 bits, when he
deletes a record in a table the PC hungs completely. The mouse, the
keyboard... everything. He has to turn the PC off.
I'm sorry I have not more details about the problem. The question is: is

Delphi 4 and later on Window-7/64-bitFolks,
I have to install Delphi 4, 5, 2007 and 2009 on Windows-7, 64-bit. I'm
aware of the need to install outside the \Program Files\ directory (but
including the "common" files or not?), but I do wonder whether any of
these versions may include a 16-bit installer, which doesn't run under
Windows-64?
Thanks for any other advice.

Exactly the same as any other OS! I recommend installing to:
C:\Tools\Delphi4
where C:\Tools\ has been created with a security setting of Everyone, Full
control. This assumes you are the only user of that PC. This works on my
Windows-7/64 system. Be aware that multiple Delphis should be installed
in increasing version number, so Delphi 5 after Delphi 4 and so on.

Delphi 7 + Windows 7 = No HelpOkay, so has anyone figured a solution to this problem yet?
Delphi 7 uses winhelp for it's help system and Windows 7 does not include winhelp.
The problem: Although Vista has a winhelp download, Windows 7 does not, and the Vista winhelp download will not install on Windows 7.
The solution: Waiting to find out.

It was released about a half an hour ago for download... :-)

Reinstall Delphi 7 on Windows 7?My projects work fine in Delphi 7 on my old XP machine so the problems I am now experiencing under Windows 7 must be due to the Delphi set-up in Windows 7. I have attempted to reinstall this - after entering my serial number and authorization code the installer bombs out with the error "1311 file not found C:\Program Files\Borland\DELPHI~1.cab ...." certainly this file does not exist but nor does it exist on the XP machine. I downloaded the original Delphi from the old Borland site which is now not avai
lable. Does anyone know what this *.cab file is all about or how I can get new...
Delphi 7 and Windows 7 x64I have a number of applications that cannot be migrated from Delphi 7
because of third party components. Is it possible to run Delphi 7 on Winows
7 or is it necessary to use VMWare? Will programs compiled with Delphi 7 run
on Windows 7?

Using Delphi 7 in Windows 7I have recently upgraded my system to Windows 7. I have Delphi 7 working to some extent - it will open my projects and display my units and allow me to edit the code then compiles the *.exe file - BUT it will not display my forms.
View/Forms - shows the list of forms and will open the associated unit but neither this nor F12 will display the form itself. Consequently I am unable to edit the form itself or its properties.
Any ideas about what might be preventing these from displaying?

ShortDateFormat problem with Windows 7 64-bit & Delphi 2007Hi, first off I'm using Delphi 2007 in RAD Studio 2007 on a Windows 64-bit machine, this is important as the bug appears to be operating system specific!
In my application I use TryStrToDate(AString, ADate) in a number of places to format grids and manipulate dates from text files. I've recent purchased a new laptop with Windows 7 (64-bit) as the operating system. I noticed when testing my software today that all the routines that were using TryStrToDate weren't working quite as I was expecting them to. Further investigation reveals that whilst me OS regional settings ShortDateF...
OpenGL 32 bit on Windows 7 64 bitI have an older OpenGL application using OpenGL 1.4 calls in both
software and hardware modes that works fine on 32 bit XP and Win 7 but
gives me issues with color depth on Windows 7 64bit. There aren't any
errors but it displays fewer colors when it draws to the screen than
when it draws to a bitmap. The AMD driver has the screen display set to
32bit color and when I step through the GL context creation whether for
HW or SW everything appears correct with the PixelFormatDescriptor set
to 8bits per color. GetDeviceCaps confirms that the screen DC is set to
32bit.
