Hi,
It's easy but do it at your own risk :
On the new PC, install Delphi 2007 with the same SP + Hotfixes. Delphi
must be installed in the same location as before.
Run it once and close it.
On the new PC, be sure that you have defined the same system variable
and path (DevExpress are using them for exemple).
On the source PC, export the HK_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\BDS\5.0
and the HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Borland\BDS\5.0 keys.Before importing
them in tne new PC, make sure that you are logged into the new PC with
the same username. If not, you will have to modify all reg files by
replacing all "old" username path with the new one, as an example : from
C:||Documents and Settings||Paul to C:||Documents and Settings||John
You will have to copy these folder from the Source PC to the new PC.
Remember, they must stay at the same location as they were before :
- Copy RAD Studio folder (located in C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Documents\)
- Copy all your VCL folder
- Copy all *.Bpl files located in system32
- Copy Delphi's BIN folder (some component vendors put BPL into this
folder too).
- If you have previously installed Andreas Hausladen DelphiSpeed up (or
other tools from him), copy the from the C:\Documents and Settings\<your
user name>\Application Data folder
Now you can try to run D2007 on the new PC. All packages should be
loaded without any errors.
This is important, you to select Tools\Options and edit the win32 search
path. Don't change anything and close the dialog box by pressing the OK
button (this will update an delphi file needed by the compiler).
Hope that it helped you !
