Delphi installation issue

Anonymous user -

Hello
I want to install Delphi version 5 on my PC which runs with Win XP Pro.
I've made several attempts but to no avail, the problem:
_ a first message warns me that a registry setting for "just in time" debugging is set to another application
(drwtsn32) press yes to update it. I press yes then next.
_ I start the installation.
_ interruption, a second message:
the installation detected an error during file copying
component: program files\VCL source
file: \\runimage\delphi50\source\internet\nstois.pas
error: -117

so if you can help me I would be very grateful.
best regards.

    Hello,

    do you already have a previous version?

    * the first message is natural, for the second I think it's a protection from the system (more precisely a file in use).

    * otherwise, maybe you also program under VC or other languages that require Sharing (shared files)

    confirm,..

    Hi
    no, I tried version 4, same thing.
    I even tried it on the Windows 2000 Pro system.
    The funny thing is that I lent the software to my friends and they installed it without any problem.
    I don't understand?

    Hello,

    Tips:

    1- version 4 is unstable, it has a bug and I confirm {I had the same problem as you}

    2- to compile quickly, try version 3

    3- to enrich your application {in VCL components and properties}, do a compilation under 5

    Conclusion,

    I suggest uninstalling Ver 4 or the one currently installed and confirming all messages that will appear during this uninstallation.. [ Yes for everything ]

    * it is strongly recommended to restart your system in safe mode so that the system can uninstall your application properly.

    - then reinstall Ver 5 on another partition (D: or E:) so that there will be no sharing or common files.

    * you will have a dialog box to choose the installation directories, just change C: to D: and don't touch anything else, you will have almost 5 changes to make.

    * for my case, I prefer Ver 5, it is very stable, and to move to version 7, I just do compilations on my software (if necessary, of course)..

    I wish you good luck, speed is Delphi :-)
