Question:
After uninstalling the Delphi 5 Trial Edition, I went to install a purchased copy of Delphi 5, but it keeps telling me to uninstall the Trial Edition. How can I get around this problem?
Answer:
The registry did not properly get cleared by the Delphi 5 Trial uninstaller. Click
Start->Run, and type "regedit". Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Borland, and then
Delphi. Select the key (a folder in the left panel) labeled 5.0 and press delete. You will be prompted to delete the key (select Yes). Next, expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Software, Borland, and then Delphi. Select the key (a folder in the left panel) labeled 5.0 and press delete. WARNING: Be very careful when using regedit to not delete any other keys as it can make your system unstable.
