Delphi & C Builder
Are there any known problems with installing Delphi AND C Builder on the same machine.
I have Delphi 5 and want to buy C Builder (recent verion is?) but only if I can use them both on the same machine.

Thanks.
I'm curious about adding the 2 extra files in a C app though. When I first started using Turbo C back in the 80's, I did so just to avoid distriubting extra files with my .exe. Odd that now C does this and Delphi (Pascal) doesn't.

If you ment on this vclxx.xx stuf thats also strange to me but let me tell You what I found experimenting.
I got project to make multimedial presentation (belive it or not, for my government /bosnia)and they gave me very much trouble with condition that my application must not use any setup options and must run on every win9x or nt 4(with or without service packs) machine.(project include video, mulichanel sound, document diplay like html....)
So with my humble knowledge I start to experiment with exe portability on different prog. enivironments
After serious MS Visual Basic problems (oleaut out of date and so on)I decided to give a try with delphi(in that time ver4) and on my suprise it worked (plain exe) on every tested machine without any additional files (i formated my disk and on freshly installed win95 i tested this teory(on several other machines also) also on my job I used NT Servers.
Later (project was stuck for very long time)I jump on borland c++ builder 4
And so on after I tryed my application on other machines it reports that this two vcl files are required to run this application (and i compiled my exe to use static lib.!!! like in delphi)
After some other glitches with multimedia programming I jump back on delphi and everything work fine.
I dont know why these two files are required even if I compile to use static lib but I spend wery much time experimentig on plain exe portability(no setup) and I found Delphi 99.9% to do the job.
(also in ms visual c 6 exe (one form with some basic component) compiled as static exe has 2.x MB !!!)
VC commes with wery good install shiled so in normal cases this is not problem
(My problem was specific (not to use setup))
Hope this help You
