I had to do a lot of manual removal of files and registry entries and then the re-install procceded smoothly.

In the meantime, I found the CD for my old Delphi 4 Professional. Before I install that, I'll go through more of my junk tonight and see if I can find my copy of Delphi 6.

Since these products are not eligible for update subscription the Support for these products is only available in the Community Forums, Embarcadero online documentation and the product Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ). Here are links to the Community Forums and online resources for the Community Edition products ...."
