    Additional information

If the product is purchased via Electronic Software Delivery, you receive a setup.exe file.

    To install using Electronic Software Delivery:

    To install the second product:

If you have Delphi 2007 for Win32 and you want to upgrade to Delphi 2007 for Win32 Update 1:

1. Select Start | Programs | CodeGear RAD Studio | Check for updates.
2. In the list of available updates, select Update 1.
3. Your current Delphi 2007 for Win32 installation is uninstalled, and then the required files are downloaded and installed automatically.

Note: Due to the MSI registration and unregistration that take place, this upgrade process might take an hour or two hours. If you have problems with the download, you can restart the install by running setup.exe /upgrade, and the install attempts to start from where it ended.

• After the product is installed, you can add optional products, and/or add/remove features. Choose either method to modify the installed product:
• Use the Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs command, select the Modify button, and then choose features that you want to add or remove.
• Choose Start menu | Programs | CodeGear RAD Studio | Modify, Repair, Uninstall, select Modify, and then choose features to add or remove.
• See also Known Installation Issues.

• If you modify the CodeGear product installation by clicking the Change button in Add/Remove Programs and choosing the Modify option to remove features, setup makes the appropriate changes in the registry only in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Follow any one of the steps below to make these changes in HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
  • After doing a maintenance install from Add/Remove Programs, restart the IDE and click on No for all the Package not found errors and Assembly not found errors. This automatically removes the correct assembly or package entries from the registry and should prevent these errors when starting CodeGear Delphi 2007. This is the preferred option, since the options outlined below involve manually editing the registry.
  • Manually edit the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\BDS\5.0\Known IDE Packages and Known Packages registry keys to delete the assemblies or packages that were removed by the setup in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Borland\BDS\5.0.
  • Delete the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\BDS\5.0 registry key and restart the IDE to get the updated registry settings. Be aware that when you delete this key, you lose your customized settings that were stored under this registry key.

    Note: Read the WARNING at the end of this file before editing your system registry.

• Uninstalling Delphi 2007 when an earlier version of BDS or C++Builder is installed should not affect pre-existing installations.
• The Installer does not notify you if you have less than the required free space (2 GB on the C: drive). If you try to install with too little space, the install hangs.

• To uninstall the product, the Administrator who initially installed the product must open the Control Panel, select Add or Remove Programs, select RAD Studio and click the Remove button. After uninstalling, in order to remove user-specific data from the Windows registry, all non-Administrator users of the product must log in and delete the following registry key:

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\BDS\5.0

  WARNING: Registry editing is performed at your own risk. This document and other documentation that accompanies this product describe how to edit your Windows registry. In most cases, CodeGear recommends that you use the Microsoft Regedit tool to perform editing. Whatever tool you use, however, you should, before making any changes, make backups of your registry and thoroughly familiarize yourself with the editing tool and the registry editing process. The registry is a critical component of your operating system, and any mistakes you make while editing it can cause your machine to stop functioning.

• After uninstalling, user-specific data such as default project settings might remain in configuration files found in this directory:

  Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Borland\BDS\5.0\

  This folder should be manually removed.
