I just installed Delphi XE 2 and went through the whole installation process; however, when I try to launch Delphi XE 2, I get the following error messages, and then nothing happens (Delphi XE 2 crashes or something and fails and no screens appear). I have already tried repairing, uninstalling and then reinstalling.
Error Message 1:

Error Message 2:
Error Message 3 + 4:
Did something fail to register during the installation process? Any ideas on how to remedy this issue?
I have also asked this question on Embarcadero’s forums, but have yet to receive an answer. A bit of Googling revealed that this problem was asked before on Embarcadero’s forums, but the link is now dead.


In order to get Delphi to install correctly, I needed to install a few .NET 3.5-4.0 updates (apparently these were not marked for automatic download and installation), reboot, uninstall Delphi XE 2, and run the Delphi XE 2 installer as an Administrator.
After doing this, Delphi XE 2 worked without a hitch.
