Did you get an error message? I am guessing that it failed to install because of an old style method of determining free space on a hard drive. Back in the 90s, Hard drives were 2 gigs in size so the installer subtracted the space used from 2 Gig. Doing that nowadays give you a negative number!
If you have Delphi 5 installed somewhere else, you can copy the files to your new laptop and then Export and import the Registry settings and you will be all set. If not, then you will need to temporarily fill your hard drive until there is less than two gigs free and then try to install the program. Hope this helps! There are probably a few other tricks that you will need to know once you get the installer to complete.
