Hi,
I want to install Rad Studio 2010 on a machine that already has installed Rad Studio 2007, There is some compatibility problem?
thanks in advance, Bye.

A:
Trying to install an older version of Delphi when a newer version already exists can cause problems. If you have to have both, either put 2007 in a VM or uninstall 2010 and then install the two Delphis in order, which will work just fine.

N.B.: OP said that 2007 is the one that's already installed.

Is there some corollary, i.e. "never commit after midnight"? Does that apply to VCS, relationships, or both? ;-)

See this answer from Nick Hodges.
There is no problem with installing a newer version of Delphi/RAD Studio on a machine that has an older version. As Mason says, the reverse is not necessarily true.
