Borland Delphi 7 Lite Medium Edition 3.0

Borland Delphi 7 Lite Medium Edition is a streamlined distribution of Borland’s classic Delphi 7 rapid application development environment for native Win32 programming in Object Pascal. It preserves the essentials—the IDE, 32-bit optimizing compiler, Visual Component Library (VCL), visual form designer, code editor with Code Insight, and integrated debugger—while trimming auxiliary tools and documentation to reduce disk footprint and improve startup speed.

This edition supports building fast, native Windows applications, COM/ActiveX components, and DLLs, as well as database-driven software via ADO and dbExpress. It also includes widely used internet components (Indy) and support for SOAP-based web services through Delphi 7’s frameworks.

Typical uses include maintaining legacy Delphi codebases, creating utilities and internal tools, quick prototyping, and working on modest hardware or in virtualized environments. As a lightweight packaging, it may omit features found in the full Delphi 7 distribution (for example, some CLX components, help files, or wizards).

Notes and limitations:

• 32-bit only; predates full Unicode support (primarily ANSI strings).
• Targets older Windows SDKs; originally designed for Windows 98/Me/2000/XP, though it is often run on newer versions of Windows using compatibility settings and administrator privileges.
• Limited or no official support compared to the full, original release.

For the complete toolset, documentation, and modern platform support, consider the full Delphi 7 distribution or a current Delphi edition.
