Migrating a Delphi installation/settings storage (Views: 706)


Problem/Question/Abstract:

I have to move my Delphi installation to a new disk. I installed Windows and Delphi. Then I copied the entire Borland directory from the old drive. Delphi appeared in its default colors and settings. Which settings are stored where (default compile settings, directories, etc.)?

Answer:

Depends on which settings you are looking for. Some are in defProj.dof, some in defProj.dsk for new projects, myproject.dof, .dsk, .dsm for existing projects. And others are in the registry, mostly in CurrentUser, but a few in LocalMachine as well. Some are in the .res file and the .cfg file as well.
Your default compile settings would best be moved by getting the defProj.dof file from the delphi\bin directory, but the library paths will be in the registry under the library key.
