Possible Uninstall Bug Reported In Delphi 4
By Paul Pritchard

In a newsgroup posting, Pierre du Parte (author of FinalFiler)
has reported what appears to be a bug when uninstalling
Delphi 4 after the service release has been installed.
When the patched version of Delphi is uninstalled and then
reinstalled, it will not accept a valid serial number and
authorization key. The only known way around the problem at
this time is to reformat the hard drive on which Delphi was
installed. The bug has yet not been confirmed by Inprise or
any other developer, but the Delphi Planet recommends caution
when uninstalling Delphi 4.
Pierre gave the following specific steps to reproduce the
problem:
- After freshly formatting the hard drive, install D4 Pro from the CD.
- Uninstall it.
- Reboot.
- Reinstall it. The serial number and authorization numbers are accepted.
- Install the service release patch.
- Uninstall Delphi.
- Attempt reinstall Delphi from the original CD. It will not accept the serial number and authorization numbers.
