Compiler error after the Else
E2010: Incompatible Types 'AnsiChar' and 'Char'
if isUnicode then
SearchHandle := FindFirstFilew( PWideChar( fn ), FindDataW )
else
SearchHandle := FindFirstFile( PAnsiChar( Ansistring( fn ) ),
FindDataA );

Just use SearchHandle := FindFirstFile( PChar( fn ), FindData) and you will compile perfectly across both D7 and D2009, assuming FindData is declared as the generic TWin32FindData too. -- Chris Rolliston http://delphihaven.wordpress.com/

Delphi 5 To Delphi 2009
I upgraded to Delphi 2009 from D5. The install says I can install Delphi and/or C++. Delphi installed OK but I see nothing of C++. What am I missing or does my upgrade not include C++?
