Ok, I spent a few thousand for BDS 2006 Architect, a couple thousand more on software assurance, and I get an email with download information for Delphi 2007. That's all well and good, but I may have to re-install sometime where I dont have access to the Internet, or maybe not the bandwidth to download again. The download in the link gives me a 4 meg setup file that seems to be going out nicely on its own and downloading everything it needs without asking me where I might want to save it (rude). So for the tens of thousands I've spent as a loyal Borland-Inprise-Borland-CodeGear supporter, what do I have to do to get a cardboard box with a dvd ?

I got it through software assurance as opposed to being a purchase. I think that may be why there wasn't a "buy media kit" option (either that or I missed it entirely), but it's not in the email. 26 dollars difference between the ESD and DVD, that's kinda nuts. I'd be happy with the DVD's dropped in a mailer, I can do without the cardboard box, with the color printer wrapper, and "readme" inserts. I also dont recall anything in my software assurance that said "Oh by the way, if you want media just like you've always gotten, your gonna have to pay even more" "Liz" <liz_wants_no_spam (AT) xcalibur (DOT) nospam.co.uk> wrote in message news:xn0f41irh4ahycg00q (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com...

I couldnt get the java or the http download to work, but the ftp worked without a hitch, and the setup program itself was a dream. D2007 actually installed faster and easier while still downloading, than my BDS 2006 did off of the CD. I think they've finally nailed the install procedure.

Thank you, I will. While I'm at it, I'll ask them *again* to stop sending me emails telling me how wonderful it is, and asking me to buy it. They really need to filter out the folks with SA and perhaps send a different email describing it but without a BUY NOW button. :) You've already got my money :) "Nick Hodges (CodeGear)" <nick.hodges (AT) codegear (DOT) com> wrote in message news:46040cba$1 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com...

Yes, I bought D2007Ent on 17th March day but I'm still got a marketing message on 23rd asking me to buy. <g> You might want to get the marketing team to reconcile the registered users against their email list. Both the email I used to buy and the one the marketing message was sent to are the same (except one is upper case ?). Maybe the case sensitivity threw them ??
