Delphi 2.0 and WIN NT question...

     I would like to hear from someone who is running Delphi 2.0 under
NT 3.51 + Newshell, or NT 4.0 beta.  Question is:  Does it work fine?
Will I have to tweak NT to be able to run it?  Thanx...

I have been using it for a few days under 3.51 with the shell
installed. No problems so far.

I'm running Delphi 2.0 right now on NT4 build 1234.  It's going fine so
far.  You should keep in mind that, although we've done some
testing under NT4, is still is not yet an officially supported platform.

I had a fairly major problem when installing on the NT 4.0 beta.

My personal account has super user privilege, so I switched to
administrator to install Delphi 2.0.  Everything went well with the
install, but when I logged on again under my personal username,
NT reported an error loading my user profile (error 1007, I think)
and I found my entire user preferences were lost:  program
groups, desktop settings, colour schemes, cursor settings,
environment variables, etc.  It was about two hours work to recover
from this.

Of course, the problem may be with InstallShield, or totally
unconnected with Delphi 2.0, but I hadn't done anything else
while logged on as administrator, and I haven't seen this sort
of problem with the NT 4.0 beta any other time.

Having recovered from this, I found that the (Start button) program
group for Delphi 2.0 was not created 'Common', so I had to manually
create it for my personal account.

Having got over these hurdles, I've had no more problems with
Delphi.  However, the ODBC administrator utility always hangs when
setting up an Access data source (this also happens on a PC
without Delphi installed), so you may have problems if you're
planning to use Delphi 2 with ODBC on NT 4.0 beta.
