Tim,

The installation problem you described seems still to be present in the
Delphi5 installation. (Runtime package not found, I copied it to teh
sys-dir manually). Whereas the installation for Delphi2007 works fine.

Hmmm, I'll check it out.  It may be due to a different CodeGear/Delphi
RootDir setting for the current user vs. the entire machine.  Right now
we're installing the runtime package according to the current user's
settings, although I will probably change that to use the local machine
settings instead.

Uli,

Sorry, forgot to ask the important questions:

What is the value of this registry value on your machine ?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Borland\Delphi\5.0\RootDir

and what is this value ?

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\Delphi\5.0\RootDir

Are they different ?  And, do they accurately reflect where your Delphi 5
installation resides ?

And, finally, is there an ElevateDB *run.bpl runtime package residing in
your Delphi 5 <InstallDir>\bin subdirectory ?

Thanks,

There is no such key. Thus it's different.

No, there isn't any ElevateDB *run.bpl runtime package.

There's the issue - apparently they didn't start adding the RootDir value
until D6 and above.  Sorry about that - this will be fixed in the next
build.
