I'm getting a lot of error messages, as well as slow performance. ... Is there a workaround? (I heard Delphi 2007 does not work inside VirtualBox.)

  • Error messages from the IDE itself, I presume? – Frank Shearar Apr 21 '10 at 19:57
  • It would help to see what error messages you have. "I heard Delphi 2007 does not work inside VirtualBox." And where did you have heard that? VirtualBox doesn't work like WINE where every WinAPI has to be implemented. It runs Windows itself so all WinAPIs are there. – Andreas Hausladen Apr 22 '10 at 17:44
  • Plus, which Windows is being run?!? – Pekka Apr 22 '10 at 19:14
  • Where did you hear what? And what error messages are you getting? – Jeroen Wiert Pluimers Apr 22 '10 at 21:40
  • Thank you all for your responses. ... My guest OK is XP, and I was getting AV's with core IDE bpl's. However, I continued experimenting last night & now think the issues are/were related more to accessing a network drive and, especially, a USB flash drive. I was trying to keep source code separate from the VM. ... Thank you, again. – Al C Apr 22 '10 at 22:35
