Article #27958: Uninstalling Delphi 6 prompts for the CD even after saving the installation information to the hard drive
Problem
During the installation of Delphi 6 the option to save the installation information to the hard drive was selected. When uninstalling Delphi 6, the following message is displayed: "The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not available. Insert the 'Borland Delphi 6' disk and click OK."
Solution
The windows installer doesn't always seem to know where to look for the "Borland Delphi 6.msi" file that you saved to your hard drive when you selected the option to store the installation information. Instead of inserting your Delphi 6 CD when presented with the message described above, select Browse and navigate to the directory where you installed Delphi 6 and select the "Borland Delphi 6.msi" file. The uninstall will now proceed normally.
