Access Violation error usin Enterprise Trial version 6

[EIKOOP]

1. I am not a Delphi programmer.
2. Customer gave me a legacy Delphi 3 project w/ source code.
3. Not sure if I can work with Delphi, so I downloaded the Enterprise trial.
4. Tried to run project. Got message that it could not find GTSIZER. Researched and found that GTSIZER is an add on which resizes the form to fit the users viewable area.
5. Today purchased GTSIZER version 6. Installed it.
6. Now when I try to run/rebuild the project always get the following messages: Access Violation in dcc60.dll OR Internal Error LA33.
7. Gone to Delphi site and there is an explanation/solution for this problem. Tells me to delete all DCU and DPL files nd rebuild the project.
8. When I do this, still get same message.

My immediate goal is to see if I can at least get this Delphi 3 project running in my enterprise 6 trial. Then I can look under the hood of the project/delphi and determine If I can maintain it. Then I will ask the client to front the cost of a Professional or Enterprise Delphi purchase.

So need to at least get past square one. Here are some thoughts, questions from a Delphi NEWBIE

Question 1. Is there anything inherent in the Enterprise Trial that will result in these Access Violation errors?

Question 2. Could this GTSizer component be the cause of the problem?

Question 3. I do not know Delphi. I am simply opening the project and pressing the Run button. Also have tried step into mode. Also have tried to rebuild. Always get same error. Interestingly, there is a smaller test project in same directory. I can run this ok. IS THERE SOME PROCEDURE/CHECKLIST/GOTCHA that I should follow to migrate a Delphi 3 project to the Enterprise Trial?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Question 1:

 

[svanels]

I think there is some bug in the code or some property in the original project has been cleared when you opened it. I
Does the original exe file runs without a problem?

There are some incompatibilities between delphi6 and delphi3 but they are more windows related. Some components have been rewritten because M$ does not support them.

It could also be that the versions are different and
commands for GTSizer have changed in some way.

Also some incompatibility in Delphi 3 and Delphi 6
could cause this problem.

I hope this helps, BobbaFet

Everyone has a right to my opinion.
