Reinstalling Rad Studio 2007

885 views Asked by At

I need to uninstall and re-install Delphi 2007.

I have downloaded the CodeGearRADStudio2007_Dec2007.iso and burned it to disc.

I have exported the following registry keys: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\BDS\5.0\Known Packages HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\BDS\5.0\GExperts-1.3 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\BDS\5.0\Experts

Is there anything else I need to do before uninstalling ? I'm not sure if uninstaller is going to ask me to preserve registry keys so I assume that I am going to have to import registry keys after installing.

I am also assuming that the iso image contains any previous updates or hotfixes and that is the latest complete install, is that a correct assumption ?

Very nervous about doing this, any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

John

The first thing I'd do is making an image backup of the system partition (e.g. with CloneZilla), including the working Delphi installation. Then, restore that backup to a new hard disk an check that it boots. After that, you can always go back to your previous installation and look up any settings you might have missed.
