Issue
I'm unable to run Delphi 7 on Windows 7. The following error is displayed: Fatal Error: Could not
create output file 'C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi7\Projects\Project1.exe'
Solution
The easiest solution is to avoid installing Delphi in C:\Program Files.
Alternatively go to Delphi installation directory :
C:\Program File\Borland\Delphi folder
Look for the Bin directory
Right Click > Properties > Security Tab
Select your user and "Allow Full Control to Permissions"
