Now this is downright weird. I de-installed Delphi 7 to make some room
on my hard disk.

BDS2006 behaves weird ever since .

Whenever I compile and start an application, BDS2006 starts the windows
installer and requests the BDS2006 CD. So I insert BDS2006 CD1 and click OK.

Then it requests CD#2. So I insert it, and click OK.

The next thing I get is "internal error 2920 deploy.htm" and the Windows
installer immediately restarts this procedure in an endless loop.

The only thing I can do is press "cancel", but the next day this
procedure will
start again and again.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? I am beginning to develop a strong
antipathy against the MSI install mechanism. This ain't the first time
the MSI
installer ruined an otherwise perfectly healthy system for me.

One good thing about MSI installer is that it writes its messages into
the event log.

De de-installer of Delphi 7 deletes the registry key
"HKLM\Software\Borland\Borland Shared"
that BDS2006 also needs. I re-created the key and all is well now.
