Thanks! That was going to be my next try. You'd think that if you can do that, they'd allow the installer to do a forced one.

Nope...
I will add a hint if we make it to 3 hours unsolved.

I originally thought Doctorate but I don't think it fits now.

1) Go to YouTube to refresh your memory: Monty Python's Flying Circus - World's Funniest Joke - YouTube[^] (4:40 it's first read in German)
2) Go to Google Translate
3) Select "Detect language" and "English"
4) Enter the following: "Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer? Ja! Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput"
5) Read the translation.

I'm not falling for that one. Last time was already devastating enough; I spent months going to funerals every weekend.
[Edit]
It appears to be just as bad for the Bing translator, but not in the way you'd think.

I tested the reverse and....?
It worked perfectly 
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

I'm pretty sure that has been reported here before. Most likely by you.

I love that it is not just an error, but a rather fatal one. My online research indicates that this string of "German" text is just jibberish and has no actual meaning in German.
So, in 1969 it was jibberish. In 2019 it is a fatal error.
Nice.

Hi All,
We as a company are reliant on several pieces of software that were written in Delphi now the only machine that can update them is hidden under a desk that only a select few know of. At least one of the Gurus who wrote the software has since died, several have left the firm, there is one bit that is crucial that will only run XP Service Pack 2 and nothing higher. A bit of Googling and there is a tool to do it Delphi to C# Conversion - Ispirer has anyone tried it know of another... I trying to avoid problems... 
UPDATE:
Speaking to the Delphi guru, it uses all sorts of third party interface to make life easier and non-convertible.  well it's better than nothing...

Ah, the famous "machine under the desk" scenario. I have experienced this type of scenario many years ago.
My very limited experience with code converters (vb to c#) has taught me that you still need to fix the hell out of the resultant conversion, no matter what tool you use.

Quote: only run XP Service Pack 2 and nothing higher
Must be a very special thing or it is Delphi 1. I need also to maintain a legacy Delphi/c++ Builder 6 application, but until now no problem with it up to W10 
[Edit]
And a converter from Pascal (Borland Pascal with some very proprietary extensions) to c# will most probably very hard/impossible to find
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

Maybe a code generator thing in the age of NX bit, like the original SOAP component.

Might be cheaper to build it anew, then to figure out why there's all this weird legacy-code.
The converter would choke on my "uDebug" unit, because the debug-files in .NET look a bit different from the map-files in Delphi. As long as the code is straightforward, conversions "may" work, but anything out of the ordinary will fail.
