I am even able to compile for industrial Windows XP systems with Delphi 12. Of course one is limited in which features can be used and which cannot, but that would be even more restricted when working with Delphi 7 or Delphi 5. I would rather drop these kind of projects than even think about using such an old Delphi version. Actually I have just one project that is bound to Delphi 2007 in the moment. As long as it is dormant it can stay that way, but I would try to convince the customer to port it to a newer Delphi version once it is going to be resurrected. Otherwise I have to adjust my hourly rate to cover up for the additional stresses and strain.

Due to the supply chain disturbances, we had a 5 month delivery wait for servers and parts for a while, so I can relate to delays. The problems here are: - Lack of proper communication. "No news. Next update at ..." is better than silence! - Insufficient contingency planning? - Insufficient backup and recovery plans? - No plan B? There are many capable cloud hosting services that doesn't take forever to spin up a pack of servers. The cost might be high, sure - but so is the cost of losing the trust of your customers.

No that would be pointless - restore from backup onto temp server.

Check your facts, please https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-supported-operating-systems#supported-operating-systems-for-microsoft-edge Fun fact: that already is the case (it even only runs on Windows 11 21H2 or later) - see https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9MSMLRH6LZF3

"anything i like " ... for those who work it is not enough, it should be "anything I must do" and I would like to challenge you to develop a 64 bit application with Delphi 7 or perhaps an app for Linux or Android. And let's forget about all the concepts of security or anything else. It's true that frills are often not needed, but you just need to set up your environment to make you work at ease. However, everyone is free to work as they wish, and fortunately developments continue regardless of certain opinions. I don't think the fact that the new IDE doesn't run under Windows 7 or Windows 95 where Delphi 7 runs is such a serious problem. Any professional working with tools to bring home pay needs the right tools, and many times these tools need to be updated (and after 22 years of Delphi 7 and 15 years of Windows 7 ..... may be it's the right time).

Rad Studio Wiki is up and running for me

The chance of desktop or server support for 32-bit Windows applications being abandoned is close to zero. Support for running 16-bit Win16 applications on the desktop only went away with Windows 11 and is currently still supported under Windows 10 32-bit edition. Any attempt will mean delayed Windows upgrades until it is restored. I saw the same thing with support for Xenix 286 binaries in SCO OpenServer- they kept dropping support only to add it back to capture customers who wanted a new server + OS to run old line of bussiness applications. Such applications can have incredibly long lives and healthy budgets to keep them running on supported servers by upgrading hardware and operating systems. Windows has accumulated many such applications.

Just on the run but from the top of my mind, I think you can launch Xcode and create an empty project, build it for iOS and Xcode should put things straight for you if your certificates are missing or not in the right place. Then reopen RadStudio and try to see whether it appears in the provisioning profiles (not in Auto mode).

I don't buy it, I don't think this is just hardware failure. My conspiracy theory is that it started with hardware failure and then they realized that the backup didn't backup for 20 years. No matter what hardware failure you have, it doesn't take two weeks to get it back up and running.

Several hardware problems at the same moment? My imagination offers me something like this: (image found on the web, not from Emba!)

I'm on 4.0.x now and will look at the change log document for V5.0 soon.

an IDE with themes which you cannot remove them an IDE that doesnt installs on Windows 7, windows server 2008 R2 is Just Dead. The only delphi you can work is Delphi 5, Delphi 7 They try to find great names like "Athens" i bet the next verison will be Zeus or Apollon or who knows what BS

I have multiple Delphi version installed and working on my machine, including Delphi 11 and 12. They all work fine. Installing new version didn't break my old versions. So the question is what you have done to have your Delphi 12 installation break Delphi 11 installation?

ahh, well then use the Peganza Analyzer Lite. (It used to be called Icarus.) That's what it's for.
