Delphi Version Numbers

This version numbers are required for compilation directives. I revised my own components package from Delphi 7 to install in Delphi 2007, 2009.

Use RtlVersion when the code depends on VCL or RTL features and CompilerVersion when it depends on compiler/language features.

(*) These versions did not have a CompilerVersion constant, it was introduced with Delphi 6.

Delphi XE2 packages are version 160 but five FireMonkey packages at XE2 Update 2 (fmi161.bpl, fmx161.bpl, fmxase161.bpl, fmxdae161.bpl and fmxobj161.bpl) are version 161.

Examples:

if CompilerVersion = 20 then
  sCompilerName := 'Delphi 2009';

in conditional compiler expressions:

{$if CompilerVersion > 18}
  // Delphi 2007 or later
{$ifend}

CodeGear Delphi 2007 for Win32: F2039 Could not create output file

While installing RX Components Library the next
"[Pascal Fatal Error] rxctl.dpk(111): F2039 Could not create output file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeGear\RAD Studio\5.0\RX\packages\Delphi2007\rxctl.drc'"
message appeared.
The problem solved by giving "Full access" to "Users" to the needed
"C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeGear\RAD Studio\5.0\RX\"
directory.

The similar error appeared in Embarcadero Delphi 11 Alexandria. The solution is also the same.

CodeGear Delphi 2007 for Win32: F2039 Could not create output file

Embarcadero, RAD Studio Reference, gives the similar recommendation:
F2039 Could not create output file '%s' (Delphi)

Borland.Delphi.Targets was not found

Applied to Delphi 2007/2009, Windows 8.1/10/11

Error
Unable to load project ... .dproj The imported project "C:\Windows\ Microsoft.NET \F…\Borland.Delphi.Targets" was not found. Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.
... .dproj
There are a lot of topics in the Internet containing the error message

The imported project "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\Borland. Delphi.Targets" was not found. Confirm that the path in the <Import> declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.

RAD keeps the copies of Targets files in the
"C:\ProgramData\{B59CE2E6-B15A-4F23-BD0E-72BF2ADDC3C7}\core\7EFD2DA3\6C948720\"
directory, and they can be copied to
"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\"
("C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\") /
sometimes to
"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319"
("C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319")
if absent.

But error can still exist!
The matter to give "Full control" to "ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES" ("Все пакеты приложений") for the "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\" directory.

Note:
"ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES" ("Все пакеты приложений"), appeared with WIN 8.
SID - ALL_APP_PACKAGES

The All Application Packages group is a well-known group with a predefined SID. The group must have specific access to certain locations of the registry and file system for Microsoft Store Apps to function properly.

There is a more clumsy ways to fix this error.
Find the line <Import Project="$(MSBuildBinPath)\Borland.Delphi.Targets" /> in project file .dproj. This line is located about at the end of file.
Replace the value "$(MSBuildBinPath)\Borland.Delphi.Targets" with full path to file, for instance: "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Borland.Delphi.Targets"

Note:
Directory "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727"
stands for .NET Framework, Version 2.0, Visual Studio Version 2005
Directory "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319"
stands for .NET Framework, Version 4.0/4.5.2, Visual Studio Version 2010/2012
or launch the Delphi as Adminnistrator. As a more permanent solution, change the shortcut's properties to always run as administrator.

«SetThreadContext failed» Delphi 2007/2009 Windows x64

«Assertion failure: "(!"SetThreadContext failed")" in ..\win32src\thread32.cpp at line 412 Continue execution?»

First solution is at CodeCentral (unavailable)
Second solution is to search on Google
Third solution is my advice: Windows 64bit Delphi 2007/2009 Debugger Fix / Workaround with "Assertion failure" error
