General Question on Delphi 2007 Updates

General Question on Delphi 2007 Updates
Mon, 26 Nov 2007 14:12:33 +010
Hi!

I just moved from Delphi 2006 to Delphi 2007 and of course installed 
Update 3 (about 700MB) and the Help Update.

Both Updates asked me what I want to do. I can choose between
"Upgrade" 
(needs new Serial), "Repair" and so on.

In general on Updates, what is the best choice if you install Delphi and 
the updates on a fresh machine?

Thanks!
Lincoln

I used the update 3 installer to update an existing Delphi 2007. I did
this with the "Upgrade" option.

I also used it for a new installation. I did this with the "Install"
option (IIRC)


Tiedo.

No answer? Strange.

Interesting - so the "update" can also be the source of a new 
installation on e fresh windows. I did not know that.

Thank you.

In fact "update" does a complete uninstall and a complete install.
Choosing for the install-option just skips the uninstall.
I think, choosing for "Repair" also skips parts of the install.
