Transferring between computers with different O/Ses is particularly challenging. You could try the following:
1. Using WinZip, create a Zipped archive of the C:\Programfiles\Borland directory and all the subfolders beneath it. 2. Export the Registry settings keys using Regedit. 3. Copy the Zipped files to your new PC and unzip them in the Program files section. 4. Import the Registry file using Regedit. This is the part that may be a problem for you. I don't know how Vista handles Registry keys. 5. Go to the Environment variables on your old PC and copy the Path of the System variables and the User Variables to a text file. Copy the file to your new computer and paste the path into the new path variables. Keep in mind that not everything in those statements are Delphi related. With any luck, it should work...;-) Having said that, you could also load Delphi on to your new computer first and then compare the files you loaded with the plain install with those on your old PC and simply copy those files only. You should also compare the registry settings as well. Good luck!

Hello: I am trying to upgrade from Vista to Win7 and ran right into a brick wall where I cannot upgrade Vista Ultimate to Win7 Prof without doing a clean install. That means that I have to completely reinstall Delphi (2007) which I really dread, because of all the third party component sets I use, some of which I needed to tweak so that they could properly load into Delphi. Is there a way of making this simpler? Would Windows Easy Transfer help this process? Some other way of moving my Delphi setup over less painfully? Thank you for you help and experience, Chuck Belanger _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list Delphi@elists.org http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/delphi _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list Delphi@elists.org http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/delphi
