Will i have to build on Windows Vista Plateform?
Is there any way that i keep my development platform WindowsXP and can build for Windows Vista?
Any other GuideLines for Vista using Delphi?


Hi,
We have developed a project using Delphi 2006 on windows XP-SP2. With backend DLL in Visual Studio 2005 (VC).
The application is working fine on WindowsXP-SPII. But when i install it on Windows Vista, it crashes.
I want to know what modification is required to make a build for Vista.
Will i have to install and build using Delphi 2007?

Theoretically it shouldn't need rebuilding, Vista is supposed to be backwards-compatible with XP. I don't know of anything which would cause it to crash (and you haven't supplied any information about it so I can't really help you there) but there are a few things you can do to ease the transition. My application ran into trouble because Vista stopped it from writing it's ini files (I'm guessing it's not too keen on registry writing, either). I've also heard that Vista pops up the UAC if you try to run any executable with things like "setup" or "install" in the name, so those should be avoided if possible. That pretty much sums up my (limited) experience with Vista
