Delphi won't run

Question

If I try to run Delphi 7, I get this frightening message:

Borland license information was found, but it is not valid for Delphi. You cannot run Delphi without this information. Click the exit button to exit Delphi.

Delphi was running fine this morning, but choked when I tried to load the project I'm working on.

• I reinstalled Delphi from the original disk - same message
• I have just done a system restore from a few days ago - same message

I don't know why.

Answer 1

According to the archives of Chillibear, here is what you do:

1. Delete your registry.slm file from the .borland directory within your user's folder within documents and settings.
2. Run the D7Reg.exe file from within your Delphi7 Bin directory.
3. Follow the registration steps (you don't have to register now!)
4. All done. Open Delphi7 as normal.

Answer 2

Try to delete file documents and settings\.borland\registry.slm (of course backup at first) and rerun Delphi

Answer 3

Invalid Delphi license

1. Delete your registry.slm file from the .borland directory within your user's folder within Documents and Settings.
2. Run the D7Reg.exe file from within your Delphi7 Bin directory.
3. Follow the registration steps (you don't have to register now!)
4. All done. Open Delphi7 as normal.

Using this 4 step program made my blood pressure drop to safe levels again.

Thank you very much.
