Jet Engine not found - delphi

I'm trying to debug Delphi application in Delphi 7.
I'm getting error " Jet Engine v3.5 not found
I downloaded and installed Microsoft Jet Engine v 3.5 , but this didn't solve the problem
Please help with error
Thank you in advance.

What version of Windows are you working? (XP for the Screen -thanks DR-)
Update the MDAC for your system version. It include all the libraries for use Jet Engine. It's not normal, all the modern operating systems include this libraries.
There are a old utility from Microsoft called Component Checker, execute it to get the version of libraries installed in your system.
You can read the How to check for MDAC version document, which have some words about it.
Regards.

Additionally you can check these two articles from MSDN:
How To Ensure Jet 3.5 Is Installed Correctly (Part I)
How To Ensure Jet 3.5 Is Installed Correctly (Part II)

Offline Installer / Fixed Version Installer for WebView2 Runtime

The road map seems rather intransparent to me. Is this planned? Is there any info on a potential release date? We require to use WebView2 on machines that aren't necessarily connected to the internet. The full browser would not be needed, which is why the idea of WebView2 Runtime seems like the way to go. As of right now however the installer needs to connect to the internet.
I work on the WebView2 project. The installer you linked to is actually the standalone evergreen installer that can be used entirely offline :). If the device is online, the installed runtime will try to update itself, but offline it works fine too just not getting any updates. If you run a later version of the installer when a older version is already installed, the installer will update the version of WebView2 Runtime on the device (this is basically how you can update the evergreen runtime offline). Right now the Runtime and installer are under preview and we strongly advise against redistributing it outside your org/company. We are targeting Q4 this year for GA.
Fixed version is not out for preview yet. You can find our roadmap with dates on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/roadmap.

Informix Dynamic Server version 7

I am trying to install informix dynamic server version 7.
IBM site provide links to "Informix" version 11 Plus.
Anyone knows how can I reach the installation files?
Informix 7.31 (last in 7.x family) support ended in 2009. So you won't find the installation files anywhere. And you may have troubles installing such an old product on today's operating systems.
There was no "free" version of Informix 7 as there is today for current versions.
If you actually "own" the product you may try to contact IBM and explain why you need it.
It would also be nice to know why you need it? Do you need to restore some old backup?
Regards.

How can I get Microsoft Document Explorer, which is missing from my Delphi installation?

I installed my Delphi 2005 Personal but after running the IDE it gives me AV and some help bpl file error. I came to a conslusion that this occurs because somehow I don't have installed Microsoft Document Explorer.
Then my question is: where can I download Microsoft Document Explorer? I can't find any links myself. I think it comes with Visual Studio but I don't want to install it only to have a help system in Delphi.
Update
When installing Delphi I did a certain trick to not install .NET 1.0 stuff and I did wrong. There was the Microsoft Document Explorer in one of these packages. Just had to install the .NET SDK.

Afaik it is part of MSDN, but that is an huge download:

The Embarcadero FTP server might also be a smart location to check.
I found same problem when trying to install devExpress component for Delphi 2010. Problem was solved when reinstalling the help build.

Where can I find the latest version of XNA to download?

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and I after searching for XNA Download on google, I found this page:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/xna/archive/2010/09/16/xna-game-studio-4-0-available-for-download.aspx
Following the link there, I get to this page:
http://create.msdn.com/en-US/SiteError.aspx?404;aspx&404;http://create.msdn.com:80/launchcenter?lc=1033
So this is kind of confusing for someone starting out.
What is the latest release version of XNA I can use for PC/WP7 game development?
Where can I find the installer to download it?
I don't need a bootstrapper to download Visual Studio for me, as I already has the IDE installed. Thank you!
Here: Microsoft XNA Game Studio 4.0 download.
Also see Windows Phone Developer Tools: Offline ISO Image.
But note that the Web Installer available here will only download and install what you need. Since you already have Visual Studio, it will just integrate itself nicely.
The latest version is XNA 4.0. The bootstrapper is a smart installer and only installs the components you are missing. For example if you have Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate then it is not going to install the Express version as well. It also includes a Windows Phone emulator if you are interested in that. And here's the direct link to the installer.

Is there a way to install Delphi 2010 on Windows 2000

I just downloaded the Delphi 2010 iso from my SA-subscription and wanted to install it in addition to my other Delphi installations on my notebook computer. Unfortunately it refuses to install because the machine is running Windows 2000.
Is it possible somehow to get it to install it anyway? Or is there a technical reason why it might not work, even if it installed?
edit:
Some more information:
Delphi 2009 installed fine on that computer, so dotNET 2.0 is already installed.
The Delphi 2010 installer comes up, asks me for the language to use and then says "This product requires at least Windows XP. Setup cannot continue."
What I am looking for now, is either:
a way to get the installer to skip this check and install anyway - or -
a reason why this would not work (e.g. Delphi is using some Windows API that is not available in Windows 2000)
You could try to start the setup.exe with the /Win2K parameter. Maybe this helps. But I heard from a German forum that a user who installed Delphi 2010 into Windows 2000 had lots of problems with the IDE. So use the /Win2K parameter at your own risk.
And you must have at least .NET 2.0 SP1 installed
According to the minimum system requirements, Windows 2000 is not supported. They might use some XP+ specific API's these days, but then again they might not, as Delphi 2009 installed fine on Windows 2000.
The first thing you might want to check is if you have .Net (2.0 minimum) on your machine. According to the document linked above, they try to install The .Net 3.5 distributable otherwise, and that one definitely requires XP minimum.
windows 2000 is supported in Delphi 2010, check the following link:
Target Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and Windows 7 from single source
I think the problem is from your pc, maybe because there are other versions are installed, can you post the message?
