一.

Installation

• Make sure you run this as administrator,  you will need the privs.
• Run the Delphi installer. Use defaults for the file locations, ignore the incompability warnings.
• Dont start Delphi 7 as it will complain when starting a project  about unable to rename delphi32.$$$ to .dro in the /program files/delphi directories . And something about debug options requiring a change.
  So there are access problems, as to be expected. Windows 7 is a lot more robust, so directories are better protected.

Solve the access problems

1. Open the properties on c:/program files/delphixxx directory.
2. On the first tab Clear the Read-only attribute
3. Open the security tab
4. Give users full access to  c:/program files/delphixxx directory  

Now Delphi can be used to write programs again.

二.搞定帮助文件不能用
