Windows – Problem installing Delphi 2007 on Windows 7 64 Bit Enterprise

I have an issue installing Delphi 2007 RAD Studio Professional onto Windows 7 64 Bit Enterprise.

Everything is fine until I enter the serial number for the installation. After I enter it and click the next button in the installation wizard I get an installation script error at line 906. OKing that error closes the installer.

I have done some Googling but have not found anything similar yet (though I have found a lot of references to people who have installed it on various versions of 64 bit windows and who have had other issues).

I have been able to install Delphi 2009 on the same machine with no problems.

I'd really like to get 2007 installed as this is currently our primary Delphi development IDE.

I had problems installing Delphi 2007 from my original DVD from CodeGear. However, after logging into the CodeGear/Embarcadero website, I was able to download the latest DVD ISO (with all updates already applied) for Delphi 2007 and that resolved all of my installation issues.

I'd suggest trying that. Also, you will need to uninstall your broken installation if possible. Try using Revo Uninstaller (free) to help with getting rid of all the extra stuff left around from a broken installation.
