I've just installed RAD 10.2 Tokyo, from the official ISO, but using a trial period serial number. It says "Architect" when I start it (though I wanted to trial Entreprise edition).
Now inside Delphi's folder, when I go to sources, I find a few subfolders like rtl, but no VCL subfolder.
Does anyone have these files? Am I missing them because I installed a trial version, did Embarcadero stop providing them? In my old Delphi XE2, I also have FireMonkey framework sources, but here, nothing...
The trial version does not provide sources. You get the sources when you purchase. Note that the starter edition also does not provide sources.
I have been using TChart (Pro) for years and currently on TChart2014. I have recently upgraded Delphi to XE7 but the installer does not recognize XE7. I downloaded the latest Bin and source code files from the download center but XE7 is not there (Actually, since I removed XE2, it says there are no IDE's installed). Is there another installation set lurking somewhere that is not 'public'
Following up the comments to the question, the answer is that the subscription license needs to be renewed/extended to get access to the TeeChart 2014.12.140923 VCL/FMX release, which is the first version adding RAD Studio XE7 support, or a newer version.
We are trying to develop a form that will be added to a project written and created using Embarcadero Delphi 2010 , We will use Embarcadero Delphi XE3 as our Development Environemt, will the code that we will write work on Embarcadero Delphi 2010 ?
If not where can I download Embarcadero Delphi 2010, I can't find it on the Embarcadero official site.
Thanks
Previous versions can be downloaded here:

Depends ....
if you don't use rtti and generics and remove qulified namespaces, restrict the use of foreign components it could work, but i think it's not recommended.
If you are properly registered you have an edn account:
Pick Downloads / Registered User Downloads
It is in there. You should be able to go back to Delphi 7. 2010 is at the bottom of the page.
The latest stuff in XE3 is highly recommended. The improvements over the last few years are definitely worth it, and the upgrade will pay for itself in very short time even if you only gradually learn and use the new stuff.
I just bought Delphi XE2 starter and want to upgrade my projects. One of them is failing because Delphi doesn't know what TAdoConnection is.
I stupidly didn't keep a copy of the package when I D/Led it a few years ago now can't remember where I cgot it from

Update: alas, I have the Starter edition (who can afford anything else?)
Later update, just in case anyone else wants to do some database stuff with a starter edition.
I paid for AnyDac and was very happy, but then it was bought by Embarcadero, so you can't purchase it separately any more. I have a bug with Sqlite, so am looking for alternates.

ZeosLib looks very promising http://zeoslib.sourceforge.net/portal.php
It comes with Delphi, as long as you don't just have the "starter" edition, so you should already have it installed. Look in the ADODB unit. There is no other package to download.
It should be there, under ADODB:

http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/VCL/en/ADODB.TADOConnection
http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/CodeSamples/en/ADOQuery_%28Delphi%29
ADDENDUM:
Here's the XE2 feature matrix:

ADO is available on all versions ... EXCEPT the "starter version".
Since you have the Starter version, there is no direct option for TADOConnection. You either upgrade your version of Delphi, or use something other than TADOConnection.
Is there any conflict?
All new versions of Delphi can always be installed safely /next/ to older version.
Each new version should be installed in its own directory.
If you are going to install multiple versions, always install the oldest version first, and then work your way to the newest.
We work very hard to make sure that all versions of Delphi coexist together. But again, never install one version directly on top of another.
I am running 2007 and 2009 on the same machine (this machine) just fine. The only problem you might have is if you are compiling components to the same directory - you will just need to rebuild all your DCU's and packages each time, or make version specific packages and directories.
Install them in their own directories, and make sure you keep package binaries separate, you should be fine. I've got 2009, 2007, 2006, 7 and 5 all on this machine with no issues.
I have at least 4 Delphi versions on one machine. They do not bite each other.
I always install older versions first because i had once problems if i did this the other way round.
Yes - as Rob said (Robsoft) I have both working here. Delphi has always been very good at co-existing with other versions.
Obviously you can only have one version as the default for opening Delphi files.
Should not conflict.
I did D2007 on the same machine as D2006 with absolutely no problems (I was shocked, actually).
I haven't tried D2009 yet, but it should be ok.
This guy had problems though. Hopefully his issues were due to the custom setup he describes in that article.
A colleague of mine (think he has an account on here as dcraggs now) has got them both running on the same machine just fine, I believe.
Certainly would be a huge own-goal from Embarcadero if installing D2009 broke an already-installed D2007, given the way that the components and DCUs are not compatible - I suspect a fair number of people will need to have both around for a while (some of us still need D5 and D7 too!)
CodeGear stated (don't have a link handy, sorry) that there should be no conflict. I haven't yet installed D2009 on my workhorse PC so I don't know if that is correct.
The settings in registry have different path and packages have different names so there really should be no problems.
I have Delphi 2007 and I have installed 2009 yesterday with no visible problems so far. Both seem to work fine.
Appears to be no problem. Installed D2009 with TurboDelphi and 2007 and 2, 5 and 7 all on the same Vista machine
Both 2007 and 2009 have Jedi JVC and JVCL installed on them. All appear to work fine. Hope that helps.
.. and if you compile existing packages make sure you give them a new name (e.g. suffix with D12) as each version's BPL directories are in the path.
Installed D2009 Enterprise on VMWare instance running Vista Business with an existing D2007 Enterprise installation. Perhaps I did something incorrectly, but I began to experience errors in the D2007 IDE, as well as a very strange error, unknown fieldtype, in exe files compiled with D2007. I uninstalled D2009, and the errors have gone away.
You should always install the older version first. I tried to install 2009 first and then 2007 but the setup of 2007 failed.
Uninstalling 2009, and starting with 2007 first fixed the install problems.
In theory, it's possible, but if you use many third-party (or your own) libraries, it can get hairy pretty fast. I tend toward developing on Virtual machines, for this and other reasons. But, YMMV.
Should be fine. I have Delphi 7, 2006, 2007, 2009 with 3rd party libs Dev Express and Rem Objects for all (except Dev Express for 2009 - is it out yet?) and all work flawlessly. As others pointed out the versions were installed oldest to newest.
The installations won't interfere with each other, although the Delphi 2009 and Delphi 2007 projects are not compatible, and can't be shared.
Moving along with the order of release is a must. Install older first. Uninstalling may get tricky though.
