Article #29573: Unable to register Delphi 7 Trial

Problem:


The Delphi 7 Architect Trial is installed but it won't register properly or it won't import the activation file.


Answer:


Here some things to check:


1) That the attachment is saved as a .txt file rather than some other format


2) That the file is saved in the Home Directory specified in the e-mail that was sent


3) That the file is not modified in any way. (i.e. don't delete the text of the e-mail contained in the text file)


4) That you don't have other reg*.txt files present in the directory as these might interfere


5) That you don't have any TSR's running in the background


6) Additonally, you should not have a full version of Delphi 7 and the Delphi 7 Architect Trial installed at the same time


7) If the other 6 don't solve the problem, check if there is a .borland folder in your Home Directory. If there is, delete it and try to run the Trial again. Note: Deleting this directory will also delete registration information for JBuilder 6 and up.
