Category :Install Issues Platform :Win95/NT Product : All32Bit Question: How do I install Delphi 4 from a local hard drive? Answer: Installing Delphi 4 from a local hard drive You will need approximately 184 MB of hard drive space to temporarily store the installation files, 160 MB for the complete installation and free space to hold temporary files, on the drive that has windows while the installation program is running. Step 1: Put the Delphi 4 CD in the drive and choose "Browse the CD." Step 2: Copy the "Install" folder to the root directory (i.e. not inside any subfolders) of the local drive you will be installing from. Step 3: Copy the "Runimage" folder to the root directory of the same drive. This may take a very long time. Verify that the entire folder was copied correctly. Right-click on the folder and choose properties. This folder should contain the same number of files that the one on the CD-ROM contained. Step 4: Copy all of the remaining files (autorun.inf, delphi.ico, deploy.txt, etc.) to the root directory of the same drive. Step 5: Reboot into Safe Mode or VGA mode and double click on the "Install.exe" that you now have on your hard drive and install Delphi 4 as you normally would. Step 6: Reboot in normal mode and verify that Delphi 4 runs correctly. Once you have done this you can delete all the files that you copied over from the CD-ROM. 7/29/98 2:49:04 PM
