Where to download Delphi Personal edition (version 7).

Borland has previously offered a downloadable version of their Delphi IDE called the “Personal edition”. Delphi 2005 Personal Edition has only been offered through some magazines in Europe, but Delphi 7 can be downloaded from the Borland website, even though they no longer advertise it. Just follow this link:

http://www.borland.pl/downloads/delphi_7_personal/Delphi7_Personal.zip

The MD5 checksum should be: e762ab2c75be5cbd5534ee59bc78e605. The size is around 54 MB compressed and 148 uncompressed.

To activate your installation of Delphi 7 Personal edition, just visit the Borland website and create an account. Then visit the download area and there you will a link to create an activation code for your Delphi 7 Personal Edition.

Update: as of today (2006/VIII/05) the Borland’s Download area where you can get the activation code is at http://www.borland.com/downloads/download_delphi.html. If you are still lost, look for a page like this:

After installing you can invoke the Registration Wizard to register your Delphi.

Of course, read the license.txt file because it has a few restrictions. And keep in mind that no database VCL code is included with the Personal Edition.

Conclusions:

Getting Delphi 7 Personal Edition is easy, free and will allow you to explore the Delphi programming experience. But, the lack of database VCL support mean most third-party database components cannot be installed and you will miss some of the most important Delphi RAD features (the database support and data-aware controls).

    Thanks for the download link, works fine. However, I’m not sure how to proceed with registration. You say “visit the Borland website” – which site? borland.com. borland developer, borland support, etc. You then say “create an account” – how? where? I’ve spent some time trawling through Borland’s sites, and I cannot see an area to create an account.

    Thanks for the tip. Borland is preparing a relaunching of their IDE tools, including its Delphi line, one version of which will be free (free as beer).

    Let’s hope this time Borland turn again (a bit) to its IDE roots.

    If you want to download the latest Delphi personal, better download Turbo Delphi Explorer (for Win32 or .Net) from:
    http://turboexplorer.com/downloads

    It is free.
