I can't install, modify, repair my Delphi 2007.
How can I manually uninstall it ?
Which information have I to delete ?

Thanks.

(assuming default directories)

c:\Program Files\CodeGear\RAD Studio\5.0\
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\{AB3EC276-D261-4943-A921-1CC1C6799AED}

And

HKCU\Software\Borland\BDS\5.0\*
HKLM\Software\Borland\BDS\5.0\*

that should do it

Thanks Liz, but not enough.
I always get maintenance panel with options :
Upgrade, Modify, Repair, Remove
and for all of these options I get error message :
"Runtime error in setup script :
Line 3474: Attempting to get value of undefined variable HAS_SLIP"

There is some other setting that need to be removed to bypass Maintenace
Panel.
Thanks

You probably still have Setup.exe from

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\{AB3EC276-D261-4943-A921-1CC1C6799AED}

still running in memory and have to kill it from the taskmgr and
then delete the above folder and all sub folders.

I restarted computer. I check no Setup.exe running in taskmgr,

not exists above folder, but I still get Maintenace panel when I try to
install Delphi 2007.

Does the localised version of that appear, unless you have an english
copy of windows, it wont be documents and settings, it will be whatever
the equivelent is for your windows language.. it seriously sounds like
it does exist, because otherwise it would complain it cant do that..

I have Windows XP English Version.
I deleted C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\{AB3EC276-D261-4943-A921-1CC1C6799AED}, I restarted the system
before to reinstall and get same error : Maintenace Window.
I also searched disk C: to find {AB3EC276-D261-4943-A921-1CC1C6799AED}
but no result.

Then something is missed
Are you sure you did the c:\documents and settings\all
users\application data\codegear
c:\program files\codegear\rad studio\
reg HKLM\Software\Borland\bds\5.0
reg HKCU\Software\Borland\bds\5.0

Another thing then would be to run reg and file mon from sysinternals
and find out whats its finding thats causing it

download and run regmon and filemon and you'll see files and registry
settings accessed

I've had this problem too. I use Windows Vista Ultimate and when i've installed D2007 the 'Datasnap' tab simply didn't appeared. So i've uninstalled the app, but not the reg keys and folders. Delete ALL keys related to Codegear/Borland and folders. Delphi uses a temp dir (hidden), to store all data downloaded to install the application.

By the way...is it the demo version you've installed? What about datasnap tab? It appeared to you?

I install from DVD Enterprise Version in Windows XP SP2
Datasnap doesn't appear.
I deleted all Registry Keys related to CodeGear.
What is the hidden directory that uses Delphi ??
Thanks
