Turbo Delphi Explorer 2006 Patch

After getting Delphi 2007 to work again I tried to do the same for Delphi 2005 and 2006.
Both versions require the dotNET framework 1.1 which is officially no longer supported on Windows 8 (and 8.1). According to Microsoft, you should contact your independent software vendor (ISV) to have the application upgraded to run on the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 or later version. Good luck with that.
This is odd, because I could install and use both Delphi versions on Windows 8. The installations broke only when Windows was updated to 8.1, so Microsoft is BSing us here, at least partly.
Reinstalling the “dotNET Framework 1.1 Redistributable Package” failed with some unhelpful error message.
Praise the Google, I found a solution on this site. The .NET Framework Cleanup Tool resolved that problem. After running it, letting it clean up the mess the update apparently made of the dotNET Framework 1.1 and rebooting, I could reinstall it.
Delphi 2005 started again, complained about something regarding “Star Team” which I just ignored / disabled, and behold, the IDE seemed to work.
The same with Delphi 2006. It too complained about “Star Team” which I again just ignored / disabled. It also seemed to work.
Beware: I haven’t done much more than starting both IDEs and compiling GExperts with it. So there might still be issues.
The Turbo product family includes Turbo™ Delphi®, Turbo™ Delphi for .NET, and Turbo™ C++.
When the Turbos were originally released, the product line included both free Turbo Explorer and paid Turbo Professional editions as well as a Turbo C# product. The Turbo 2006 Professional products were discontinued after the release of the newer Delphi 2007 Professional, C++Builder 2007 Professional and RAD Studio 2007 Professional products.
The Turbo Explorers are fixed turn-key solutions for students, hobbyists, and non-professionals looking to quickly get started on Windows® and .NET programming with C++ or Delphi languages.
The Turbos are being released from the Developer Tools Group as part of our long term commitment to the developer market.
Enterprise and Architect Editions are offered in our multi-language CodeGear RAD Studio line. We do not have plans at this time to offer Enterprise and Architect levels of the Turbos.
Yes. Explorer Edition can be used for developing software for both personal and commercial use.
Turbo Explorer editions are available for download from http://cc.codegear.com/free/turbo and http://www.turboexplorer.com.
Everything. Go to places where non-programmers hang out. Write articles or blogs about programming for beginners, kids, teenagers, scientists, etc. Spread the word to colleges, professors, high school computer teachers. Build your own viral videos and put them up on YouTube and other video sites. Burn CDs containing the Explorer download and take them to your local users groups.
Only one Turbo product can be installed on a PC or VM at a time. In addition, the Turbo products cannot be installed on a machine that has the Borland Developer Studio 2006 installed.
The Turbo Explorer editions cannot use 3rd party components or plug-ins. Upgrade to the Professional editions of Delphi, C++Builder or CodeGear RAD Studio to use other VCL custom controls, components and experts, including those from 3rd party vendors.
The main difference is that the Explorer edition comes with a fixed set of over 200 software components for building hundreds of different types of applications limited only by your imagination. The Professional editions include additional components, and most importantly the Professional edition allows you to customize the included components, create your own from scratch, and add any of thousands of available 3rd party custom controls and components. The Professional edition also allows you to add any of the hundreds of available custom 3rd party IDE plug-ins to extend the capabilities and features of the IDE.
