Delphi 7 on Vista

Yes, there is a dodgy way of doing it. Installation is smooth though, except the warning by "Program Compatibility Assistant" (The "Woo" part of Vista, it irritates me so much).


Anyway, once you get away from this, installation is smooth. But, soon as you install and launch Delphi 7, it throws an error message which says "Unable to rename <>\Delphi32.$$$ to Delphi32.dro. Ouch!!! we have run in to problem.
The solution is to make sure that the Bin folder under the Delphi7 installation has write permission to the user account under which you have logged on to Vista. Also make sure the folder "Projects" too has the write permission for the same account.

i JUST fixed this myself. not sure if it was posted above, but what I did was I installed it on windows 8. had the error listed about renaming delphi32.$$$. my fix was that I browsed start>programs>Borland, right clicked on Delphi 7, went to properties. Under compatibility I did 2 changes. First, run in compatibility mode for windows xp sp 3, AND checked run as admin. NO issues after.
