Thanks everyone for your excellent suggestions!
I may go ahead and simply purchase PCMover Update Assistant at only $20
which should do the job for my entire installation. Or, I might not and
just use the suggested steps for Delphi only, since my experience is to
completely reinstall anew when changing OSs. It's going to come down to
how much time I have.
Hi, Markus: Turns out that the Vista to Win 7 upgrade can only work
using the same level of Win7. I bought the Win7 Prof upgrade and was
trying to upgrade my Vista Ultimate to that and it won't let me. I did
not hear anything about that before purchase, just thinking that I would
be downgrading to the Professional, but alas, the software stops from
doing it.

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?
I've never done that, but maybe you can just restore the relevant
registry settings for Delphi -- if you don't change the path to your
components (src and bin).
Out of curiosity: Why do you have to do a clean install? I used the
upgrade from Vista a few times and it worked fine.
Regards,
Markus
