What is the version of DirectX that is installed by default with Windows XP SP3? Google did not yield convincing results on this.
I've found a useful page in MSDN that confirms the version of DirectX included with each Windows OS and Service Pack release. It seems that the last change for XP was in SP2 - which was indeed DirectX 9.0c, as Raghu states.
i guess it is 9.0c.
You can check the same by running the command dxdiag

After repairing a crashed MS Office 2019 I did not manage to reinstall the correct MS-Access database driver for my ADO Connnections on a X64 Win11 system.
I tried to install alternatively the database engines 2010 and 2016, but neither of them was shown.
Does anyone have a hint?

Solution:
Download 32-bit Driver
From command-line: Driver.exe /passive

Here a longer description of the way to a solution:
My skills are just scratching the surface, I'm afraid. What I know: The IDE of Delphi 10.4 is 32-bit und doesn't work with the 64-bit database engine of Microsoft.
The complete process for getting a working system has been:
Download both (32-bit and 64-bit) drivers
First install the 64-bit driver (not shown in IDE)
Then install from command-line 32-bit driver: accessdatabaseengine.exe /passive
Trying to install a 32-bit driver on a 64-bit Win11-system will raise an error, while not having installed the 64-bit driver first.
Maybe somebody is able to explain this in more depth. I am not…

So I have Delphi XE (no number) and I have a project that was built on another machine (using JVCL components). Now, my machine is a Windows 8.1 (64 bits), and the previous machine was Windows XP (32 bits).
Of course I want to be able to continue developing the app, but for that I need the JCL/JVCL to be installed here too.
Now comes my problem. When I run the installer (bat) of JCL, it starts ok, but it does not show any options, so when I click the Install button nothing happens, and I get a message saying the installation finished. But of course nothing is installed.
This is how the installer looks on my x64 machine:
What can I do to install this JCL on a win64 machine? I am very sure that this is the problem: the OS. Because on 32bit OS (Windows XP) I have no problem installing it.
I looked it up, but could not find a straightforward solution. There might be a problem with some registry where the installer looks for the location of Delphi ?!?! but I have no idea how to fix it.
I need to install the JVCL, but it wont install unless I have JCL installed first... and the JCL does not install
Please help me.
Thank you
here is a problem I meet. I download and installed WampServer, it could not be started. After clicking, it started without any error message but ended immediately because
there was an WampServer icon in the right-down corner (just besides input icon and time) and disappeared within less than 1 second automatically. No process of wamp can be found when using ctrl+alt+del.
I suppose there is no problem in wampserver software itself since it can be installed in other computers successfully. Previous searching indicated I need to install visual C++ 2008 and 2010 but it seems still the same.
I am going crazy about this for a few days. Many thanks for you if there can be any suggestion or some similar cases.
Please make sure you have the latest version of all of these Microsoft C/C++ Redistributable runtime libraries. You dont need the whole compiler, just these C/C++ runtime libraries.
The 2008 Redist (32bit) is used by wampmanager even if you installed the 64bit WAMPServer.
The 2010 Redist is used by some versions of Apache ( depending on compiler used ).
The 2012 Redist is used by some versions of Apache ( depending on compiler used ).
FOR WAMP 32bit
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)
If you are using WampServer2.4/2.5 32bit and therefore Apache 2.4.x
Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 is required
And select vcredist_x86.exe
FOR WAMP 64bit
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)
>> Yes you need the x86 Package regardless as wampmanager uses this <<
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x64)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64)
If you are using WampServer2.4/2.5 64bit
Microsoft Visual C++ 2012
And select vcredist_x64.exe
the authors state directly on the download page (http://www.wampserver.com/en/):
Wampserver 2.5 is not compatible with Windows XP, neither with SP3,
nor Windows Server 2003
When I tried it, during the install I get the odd, cryptic error popups such as "bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin\httpd.exe is not a valid Win32 application".
I would recommend doing the manual approach for Win2K3 platforms - sure it's a lot more work, but you can follow an excellent, precise step-by-step recipe here:
http://www.ricocheting.com/how-to-install-on-windows/apache
I've done this approach a dozen times with no complications. If you've never done the "old school way" before, it's a good learning experience. And it would probably be a lot faster overall than struggling with trying to get WampServer working on Win2K3 OS.
Note that in both cases, you'll still need to first install VC 2008 redistributable package (as mentioned above).
I tried to use the Rails Installer to get a ruby on rails environment on my Windows 7 64bit today and the .exe won't run because it's made for 32bit instead of 64bit.
Update When I try to start the installer, this message pops up:
Here is the translation:
This version of the file is not compatible with the running version of Windows.
Open the system information of the computer to check if a x86 (32bit) or x64
(64bit) version of this application is neccessary and contact the software vendor.
Is there a 64bit alternative for the installer?
64bits Windows can run 32bits applications, that is what WOW64 layer provides (Windows on Windows)
However, there are specific things you can't perform, like accessing OLE or using 64bits DLLs from 32bits applications or viceversa.
If the issue you're having is connect to a MySQL installation (something you're not mentioning) you should take a look to this blog article:

Hope that helps.
I found many posts on the forum regarding this problem which navigates me to No Page found error.
Does any body know how can I add the Blackberry JDE's that already installed on my machine.
Any help is appreciable.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks zechariahs for the reply,
Actually, My main problem is that,
I am using Windows 7 machine which is 64 bit supported both OS as well as machine H/W.
I tried a lot to install the Blackberry in Eclipse - Hellios, Galilo of 32-bit and JDK 1.5
Also tried with same for 64 bit and JDK 1.6
but it is not at all getting installed.
By reading post, I tried with
h:\New\eclipse\eclipse -vm C:\jdk\jre\bin\javaw.exe command also,
but no success.
Any how I wanna run Blackberry program on My 64-bit Windows 7 Machine,
Can you please suggest any thing ?
The Blackberry eclipse plugin is for 32bit version of Eclipse and Java sdk.
You must install all 32bit version.
