Now on Windows 8.1 (64 bit) I got the winhelp installer throwing ‘Incompatible sytem’ errors at me. Search Windows Help program for Windows 7′ or 8 or 8.1 on, currently here install that and you do not need the next trick. Help does not function, a windows pops up telling “winhelp is not supported anymore on this Windows version, go to for a fix”. Delphi is installed in C:\PROGRAM Files (X86)Įdit December 2014: Windows 8.1 64 bit also runs Delphi 7!Įdit September 2016: Windows 10 also works! See how to get HLP working here. Now Delphi can be used to write programs again.Įdit August 2010: Windows 7 64 bit is also not a problem. Give users (and admins if necessary) full access to c:/program files (X86)/delphixxx directory.On the first tab Clear the Read-only attribute and press Apply for all files including subdirectory.Open the properties on c:/program files/delphixxx directory.Windows 7 is a lot more robust, so directories are better protected. So there are access problems, as to be expected.
And something about debug options requiring a change. dro in the /program files/delphi directories. Dont start Delphi 7 as it will complain when starting a project about unable to rename delphi32.$$$ to.Use defaults for the file locations, ignore the incompability warnings. Make sure you run this as administrator, you will need the privs.Of course this package runs fine on Windows XP. The best version to use, is the version that floats around as Delphi 7.2 Second Edition (search a torrent site) which is a trimmed and bugfixed small package. The version I use (since it is the last version close to traditional Windows programming) is version 7. As you can see in this blog, I recently started programming again in Pascal, eh, Delphi Object Pascal.
