After some research it was solved by downloading installing the English (US) language pack and have that active during the install (Charms, PC Settings etc). Now on Windows 8.1 (64 bit) I got the winhelp installer throwing ‘Incompatible sytem’ errors at me. Search Windows Help program for Windows 7′ or 8 or 8.1 on, currently here install that. Help does not function, a windows pops up telling “winhelp is not supported anymore on this Windows version, go to for a fix”. Delphi is installed in C:\PROGRAM Files (X86) Now Delphi can be used to write programs again.Įdit August 2010: Windows 7 64 bit is also not a problem. Give users (and admins if necessary) full access to c:/program files (X86)/delphixxx directory.On the first tab Clear the Read-only attribute and press Apply for all files including subdirectory.Open the properties on c:/program files/delphixxx directory.Windows 7 is a lot more robust, so directories are better protected. So there are access problems, as to be expected. And something about debug options requiring a change. dro in the /program files/delphi directories. Do not start Delphi 7 as it will complain when starting a project about unable to rename delphi32.$$$ to.Use defaults for the file locations, ignore the incompability warnings. The alternative option is to download and run the Turbo C++ for Windows application. One option is to download and install the DOSBox Emulator and Turbo C++ Compiler separately on your machine. Run the Delphi installer (in compatibility mode if errors). There are two ways to install Turbo C++ on your computer (any 32-bit or 64-bit PC running any Windows version starting with Windows 7) now.
Make sure you run this as administrator, you will need the privs.This is how I got it to work on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 64 bit.

But how to install on Windows 7, 8, 64 bit?
Of course this package runs fine on Windows XP. The best version to use, is the version that floats around as Delphi 7.2 Second Edition 42 MB (search a torrent site) which is a trimmed and bugfixed small package. The version I use (since it is the last version close to traditional Windows programming) is version 7.
