There are a number of Delphi features like support for MDI (Multiple
Document Interface) which are not implemented or only partly so. See
the Lazarus web site pages for tables to see if needed features are available.
If you have a full (not upgrade, rescue or XP) Win32 OS installation
DVD, here are some alternatives.
1) With a free disk partitioning utility like GParted, reduce the
size of the Win64 OS partition to make space for a a new partition
and install Win32 to create a multi-boot system, or add a separate
hard disk for the 32 bit OS and install Delphi 3 under Win32. If you
have the Win32 installation DVD for Vista, Win7 or Win 8, with some
less comfort you can resize the extant partition to make space.
2) Install a virtual machine like VMware Player or Virtual Box (free
versions available) and install a 32 bit Windows andh Delphi 3.

Subject: Running Delphi on 64-bit machines
I'm a legacy user of Delphi 3 where I
am able to write small and medium applications for my personal
needs and education. I have never needed anything more.
I just upgraded to a 64-bit Windows 7 machine and Delphi 3 won't
install because 'it is not compatible'. I don't want to create
64-bit applications. I just want to run Delphi 3.
Is there a workaround for this? Is it the installer that is not
compatible or is it Delphi 3 itself? If I need to upgrade, what
is the 'minimum' upgrade of Delphi I need to install on a 64-bit
Win7 computer?
Thank you for your time and attention.
