Delphi: v8: Install: How to download and install Delphi v8 architect 
trial?

---

Steps: Overview:

 1. -Download the two files

      filename = d8_arch_trial_main.exe

      size = 88,285,589 bytes

     and

      filename = d8_arch_trial_extras.exe

      size = 83,643,156 bytes

     at

      
http://www.borland.com/products/downloads/download_delphi_net.html#

         (put the above URL all on one line, no spaces in between)

 2. -You need to register at Borland first, if not already done

     1. If already registered you can just supply your e-mail address

 3. -A registration file will be send to you

     1. That e-mail contains a .txt file

        (e.g. reg448.txt)

     2. Copy this .txt file into your home directory
        (type e.g. 'whoami' on a DOS command prompt to
         see your current username):

         e.g. c:\documents and settings\administrator

         in general:

          Windows 2000/XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>

 4. -You need also to have installed already at least:

     1. Microsoft Windows 2000 / XP / 2003
        (other Windows versions you can not use)

     2. Microsoft .NET framework v1.1 distributable

         http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?
FamilyId=262D25E3-F589-4842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3&displaylang=en

         (put the above URL all on one line, no spaces in between)

     3. Microsoft .NET framework SDK v1.1

         http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?
FamilyId=9B3A2CA6-3647-4070-9F41-A333C6B9181D&displaylang=en

         (put the above URL all on one line, no spaces in between)

     4. Microsoft J# .NET distributable v1.1

         filename = vjredist.exe

         size = 6,926,344 bytes

         http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?
FamilyId=E3CF70A9-84CA-4FEA-9E7D-7D674D2C7CA1&displaylang=en

         (put the above URL all on one line, no spaces in between)

     5. Microsoft Internet Explorer v6.0 service pack 1

         (run all updates from http://www.windowsupdate.com)

     6. Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS)

 5. -Run the file

      d8_arch_trial_main.exe

     1. Follow the default steps (usually by pressing the 'Next'
        button)

        1. -It will first extract files to a temporary directory

        2. -An installation wizard starts

        3. -Possibly accept the license conditions

        4. -Possibly choose a default installation

            1. -The program files (BDS=Borland Developer Studio) will
                be installed in

                 c:\program files\borland\bds\2.0

            2. -The shared files will be stored in

                 c:\program files\common files\borland shared

            3. -Borland Database Engine (BDE) will be installed
                in

                 c:\program files\common files\borland shared\BDE

 6. -The installation typically takes around 300 megabytes.
     and about 20 minutes

 7. -Then possibly install also the extras by running

      d8_arch_trial_extras.exe

 8. -Run the program

      c:\program files\borland\bds\bin\bds.exe

     to start Delphi v8 for Microsoft .net framework

     1. If you should get the message that your license has expired
        (e.g. because you did wait with the download), you can ask
        a new activation file at
