It is very strange for my installation. I can install my C++Builder 6.0 on Windows 7 (32-bit), but I can’t get my C++Builder2010 installed on it. Why?

Another problem is, I found when I run my c++builder 6 under windows 7, when I save the project, it always raise an error dialog: “access violation …”, then I click again the “save” button for the second time, it would work. Is there anybody got problem same with me? Or anyone can tell me the reson or solution to it.

Thanks!

Stan said: “using c++ builder on win 7 64 bit… only help does not work.” I am too, but you can get the help to work by going to microsoft.com and getting .HLP patch. Install that, and the help works like it always did.

Cheers!

It’s a pity Embarcadero don’t do an “Educational” version of their software. I would think hobbyists would welcome this. Microsoft seem happy to give versions for free!
PS using C++ Bulder 5 on Win 7 64bit and the only thing that doesn’t work is the Help

@warren:
Quality of the help …to an all new high level??
Just highlight the word “integer” in the editor and press F1 and you get a page with no info except:

Huhh? No information about the datatype “integer”? Users are supposed to write their own help in the wiki?
That is the “all new high level”?

I am surprised to see this. I feel, you might not have installed the Help.

I did the same thing and got
“Index Results for Integer -11 topics found”
and the help is comprehensive.

I feel that this help is the most faster, most ‘helpful’ … far far better than the VS.NET help system.

Please install Help while you install Delphi next time…

So it seems that Nick Hodges hasn’t yet got to grips with UAC based on his bizarre and incorrect comment “Vista/Win7 won’t let you execute a program with the phrase “setup” in it without elevated permissions”.

This doesn’t inspire a whole lot of confidence. Surely there must be somebody at EMBC that runs with UAC on?

@Warren

I think your info about Help is out of date, press F1 in Object Inspector.

@Markus You can also have a look at http://wings-of-wind.com. They have enough information about RAD Studio 2010.

@Warren

I only made an assumption; in German this means “eine Vermutung anstellen”.

But nevertheless:
- the help quality level of D2009 never-ever reached the level we had with the D7-version. Sorry, but that is my working-experience. And not only a few developers agree with that.
It seems to be a good idea with the wiki. But it as well means that the community has to pay time and effort for this. Does the product become cheaper by this?

- things on the road-map look fine for the marketing guys. Developers need facts, not promises. And yes, there are a few applications that need 64-bit support.

- I’m not asserting. I’m frankly (and friendly) asking. In the past I bought nearly every ‘product’, as you call it. Some of them were more or less beta-versions, not products (D8, D2005).

- You seem to be very ‘engaged’, why do you leave discussion level by talking about ‘poor show’? Does it help you? Fine…

I’m going to consult my local dealer and I’ll watch the road-show that was announced a few days ago. But Tim’s short review drew attention on me.
