See this answer from Nick Hodges.

There is no problem with installing a newer version of Delphi/RAD Studio on a machine that has an older version. As Mason says, the reverse is not necessarily true.

Trying to install an older version of Delphi when a newer version already exists can cause problems. If you have to have both, either put 2007 in a VM or uninstall 2010 and then install the two Delphis in order, which will work just fine.

  • Is there some corollary, i.e. "never commit after midnight"? Does that apply to VCS, relationships, or both? ;-) – Argalatyr Sep 05 '09 at 14:38
