I want to evaluate Delphi 2006 efficiency with your Devexpress Controls. I installed the Trialedition of the Delphi 2006 and when I tried to install the 2006 version of the Express Install I got the message:
These packages cannot be installed because the command-line copiler in not installed. Using the trial version of the IDE can be the cause of this problem.
Can the components be installed in the Delphi 2006 trial edition? (Report Builder trial edition can be installed)
Did you find any performance improvements to Delphi 2006 compare to Delphi 7?
I have the feeling that Delphi 2006 has a faster compiler.
Regards,
Manolis

The only solution for you is to build our Delphi 2006 packages manually from within the IDE.
The fact is that Borland does not ship dcc32.exe with the trial edition and it is necessary so that our setup can build binaries automatically.
As for possible performance improvements we use the same code base for all versions, so there will not be much difference.
