The Delphi Prism installer can be used to install Delphi Prism as well as additional software.
Delphi Prism installs into Visual Studio 2008. If you do not have Visual Studio 2008 installed on your system, the Delphi Prism installer automatically installs the Microsoft Visual Studio Shell.
It is recommended that you install the latest Service Pack for Visual Studio 2008 or VSShell.
The Delphi Prism installer will install Mono™ and the Delphi Prism Feature Pack if these are selected by the user. If you decide later you would like to install these, you can navigate to the Mono and FeaturePack folders on the DVD and install directly from there.
If you don’t have any of the required software installed on a Windows Vista system, the installer installs the following, and between step 4 and 5, you need to re-boot your machine. After the reboot, you need to rerun the installer.
- NET 2.0 SP2
- NET 3.0 SP2
- NET 3.5 SP1
- Visual Studio Shell
- Delphi Prism
See Installing Optional, Add-on Products for information on the additional software.
If you want to use Microsoft Silverlight™, you must install it before you install Delphi Prism. Otherwise, you have to install Delphi Prism again after installing Silverlight.

On German, French, or Japanese machines, uninstalling Delphi 2009 or C++Builder 2009 might fail if Delphi Prism has been installed. This happens because the VS Shell installer in Delphi Prism updates a version of the .NET Framework Language Pack that the Delphi/C++Builder 2009 uninstall depends on. To uninstall Delphi/C++Builder 2009, run Setup.exe from your Delphi/C++Builder 2009 DVD, install the .NET Framework Language Pack when prompted, and then select Uninstall when in Maintenance Mode.
To uninstall Delphi Prism, the Administrator who initially installed the product must open the Control Panel, select Add or Remove Programs, select Delphi Prism and click the Remove button. Next select Delphi Prism Feature Pack and click the Remove button.
