Upgrade from D7 to D2007

[Wolfgang]

In Delphi7 the Library Path is very clear. In D2007, no matter what I set
the various Paths - Library, Search etc to, D2007 cant find certain Uinit
Files, although, when Right Clicking on a Unit in the Uses Clause, it opens
it up instantly.

How to rectify?

Furthermore, I have downloaded the Trial Version which is only available as
Enterprise Version. When I upgrade to the Pro Version, will I have to
Install all the Packages again?

Kind Regards

Nothing has really changed here since Delphi 7 -- if the unit is on the
project's library path, it should be found.

No, use the Modify option of the installer, and enter the new Key, and
it will "do the right thing".

Ok in theory .. Its exactly what I did and there have been a couple of
issues (which makes me think I should have started again from scratch),
namely:
1. every time I open RAD studio I get asked for the Enterprise core objects
license key - entering nothing lets me continue, but I'm not sure now what
is still working on the trial enterprise license, and what is with the fully
licensed PRO version ??
2. Clicking onto the data explorer now comes up with this error: "Object
reference not set to an instance of an object." , then

Because creating packages and installing components is so much easier (and
stable) than the D5 /D6 versions, I think I would recommend removing the
trial version before installing your PRO version
