I am trying to move my existing Delphi 6 to a new computer. I have tried a
lot of things, but nothing seems to work. Now, when I try to run it, Delphi
immediately crashes (after displaying the splash screen). I tried running
it with the command line prompt -np and it will then open. However, if I
try to open a project, or create a new application, form, etc., it
immediately crashes again. I have installed/uninstalled Delphi 6 countless
times, copied all the files I know of from old computer to new, etc, tried
copying the old registry, nothing has worked to get this back up and
running. Help!
I had such a problem when there was a stack overflow in a package or in

a component: there is no splash screen and delphi close immediatly. Try
removing all packages.
If you have installed some new packages, delete them, they are located
in this registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\Delphi\7.0\Known Packages
if you don't know which package causes the problem, you may do these
actions :
Uninstal Delphi
You may delete the following registry keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\Delphi
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Borland\Delphi
if you have more than one version of delphi installed, you should delete
only the subkey of the crashed version.
Clean delphi directory
and reinstall delphi.

Re: Delphi 6 crashes immediately on opening/creating application

I have solved the problem. I spent over an hour with tech support at
Borland, who had no idea what could be wrong.
By opening Delphi with the -np command line option, I could run, but not
open a form or application. I finally loaded Winsight, to see if I could
see what file/dll was being opened that caused the crash. This brought up
the dialog "access denied trying to read coreide60.bpl". After clicking
through the dialog a multitude of times, Delphi 6 finally opened up.
