Is there anyone using Delphi 7 on XP64 ?
I'm getting AV's every time I open the Project Options dialog.
TIA,
Mat

There seems to be a problem with dclite (Integrated Translation
Environment), not only with Delphi 7, but with all earlier versions of
Delphi. I haven't checked if it is related to some recent XP64 update
(worked fine a couple of weeks ago), or to the installation of RAD
Studio 2007 on XP64 if earlier versions of Delphi are already installed.

Thanks Henrick,

Yes, I got a whinge about that when Delphi started, but since I am using the Pro
version I just told Delphi not to load it any more.

I have not installed any other versions of Delphi, so it is {*word*76}y Windows Update
busting things. Damn M$ !

Not getting any here, but we're not using the ITE.

Interesting. Do you have more than 2GB of RAM on that machine, and have
you applied all Windows updates?
Only 2GB.
I have all updates from windows update except the RDC & .Net 3.0.

I recently installed 3GB of RAM on the XP64 machine where I had Delphi 4
through Delphi 7 installed. Could that be it?
Using Delphi 7 for debugging Delphi 7 shows that the AV (resulting from
opening Project|Options) occurs just prior to a call to
TLanguages.LocalesCallback. Seems like some part of the code in the old
IDEs can not handle more than 31-bit pointers.

I think remember I also had this problem, and I think the solution was to add delphi32.exe
to the list of D.E.P. exceptions.

Oh s**t you are right! The AV is caused by an attempt to make a call
into memory reserved for data only. This begs the question why Borland
put self-modifying code in the IDE?
