Is there a way to compile program with RAD Studio XE7 to work in windows 98?

I uninstall delphi7 For a while and i install RAD Studio XE7

Is there a way to compile program with RAD Studio to work in windows 98 without reinstall delphi 7?

Solution

  • You cannot target Windows 9x using modern Delphi. There are plenty of reasons for this but the big one is Unicode. Since Delphi 2009 the Delphi libraries target the Unicode variant of the Win32 API. Windows 9x does not support Unicode.

    If you wish to continue targeting Windows 9x, do so the way you always have done. Use Delphi 7.
