I loaded BCB5 on a new Windows7 64 bit box. No errors during the installation. After rebooting, I get a message when I run BCB5. The message says that it cannot copy c:\program files (x86)\borland\cbuilder5\bin\bcb.??? to c:\program files (x86)\borland\cbuilder5\bin\bcb.dro.
Looking in that directory, I see a bcb.dro file there.
Anyone know what this message means and what to do about it?
Did you solve it? I have the same problem. Think it is the 64 bit...
I added a utility to my system which means you can "Take Ownership" of files or folders. The utility seems to be here now although I forgot exactly where I got it.
How To: Take Ownership Of A Folder/File In Windows 7
Once installed all I did was to use the right click "Take Ownership" on the main CBuilder folder in "Program Files". Then it runs correctly.
I added a hard disc drive to my PC wil lots of data from an old XP machine. I could see all the files but could not open them without jumping through admin hoops. Using this utility on the whole drive gave me full unrestricted access.
I hope it works for you.
