Article #28445: Endless Registration Loop when Trying to Register Delphi 6

Delphi reports that I have registered the product successfully, however when Delphi launches it reports a message that Delphi 6 isn't registered. Answer: The problem seems to happen mainly on Windows 2000, XP and there are three easy steps to get Delphi back on the "up and up." The process will require that you have you CD handy, so make sure it is available before you begin. Locate the utility D6RegClean in the Delphi6\Bin directory. Run this utility. *Note* That any third party components will need to be reinstalled once this process has been completed. Next put your CD into the CDROM and run the repair install. The final thing to do is to register again. You can either run D6Reg, which is located in the Delphi6\Bin directory, or you can start Delphi.
