I presume there is a folder called 'Projects' under Delphi 7?...:-) I am guessing this is a security problem. Somehow the security you used to install the program has changed and now you don't have rights to the directory. This is a common problem when you try to install things in Vista or even XP if you are not careful.

I installed Delphi 7 Enterprise with no updates on my desktop running Ubuntu 10.10 LTS in Wine. Ubuntu has all the latest update since yesterday, but there is an error preventing me from getting further updates. I backed up the HDD today (7 hours) to an external HDD. I plan to use Lazarus in WINE and Ubuntu for X-platform Game development but need to have Delphi 5 ent and Delphi 7 ent installed in Wine for reference. D5 Ent install pretty well and I had service pack 2. But D7 Ent has a few AV's which I ignored (no service pack). I think that there were some missing DLL's. I was emulating Win XP cos that's the environment I am targeting. Error Could not launch 'Delphi 7' Failed to change to directory '/home/peterthepoet/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Borland/Delphi7/Projects' (No such file or directory) [Close] Regards, Peter W. ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
