I have just got a new machine running Windows 7. I have installed Delphi7

  • 0

I have just got a new machine running Windows 7. I have installed Delphi7 Enterprise (Build 4.453) with no problems. However when I try to run any program from the IDE, Delphi just crashes, with no error message at all. Even running the default project1 it crashes. Any ideas?

Here is some more information.

Delphi was installed by running the install.exe as Administrator and installing to C:\Borland\Delphi7 (avoiding Program Files folder).

The delphi32.exe is run as Adminstrator.

I have set the security of users for the c:\Borland folder to full control.

I have tried setting UAC to disabled and this makes no difference.

Windows 7 is 32-bit version.

    I just wanted to thanks people for their help and let you know that the problem has been fixed.

    I’m embarrassed to say that the problem was not caused by Windows7 or Delphi7 but by BitDefender trying to protect me. Once a setting had been changed in BitDefender it worked; shame it didn’t think to tell me when it was closing Delphi.
