Problem installing unidac on Delphi 7

jrheisler · Post by **jrheisler** » Thu 27 Oct 2011 12:13

I am trying to review UniDac with Delphi 7. When I try to install unidac7.exe I get the following error:

"The Delphi 7 IDE is not installed. UniDac installation aborted."

I have Delphi 7 installed and working on the machine in question. What registry key is it looking for?

Thanks!

UniDAC for Delphi 7 checks the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Borland\Delphi\7.0\RootDir registry key. Please check that such registry key exists and that its value is not blank.

This is a screen shot of my regedit screen.

What now?

Thanks!

Please check that you have Power User rights at least. Also check that your antivirus software doesn't block UniDAC installation.

This is a Vista Business 64 box. I have administrator rights, and have User Account Control turned off.

Any other suggestions? Please

Thanks!

I tried it on an older machine, and it worked. So, I copied over the borland key set to my development machine and now it works.

Thank you for you assistance!!!
