EOLDeskCompiler unsupported since 2008

Your Delphi or VB6 application still works. Its compiler has been dead for years.

The source is still on a share somewhere and the person who wrote it has retired. Zip the tree and we will tell you what it is built on: which components can no longer be bought, which data layer has no 64-bit story, and what each exit costs.

What we need from you

  • The source tree as a zip — .dpr, .pas, .dfm, .vbp, .frm
  • No build, no database, no production access
  • The .dproj if it exists; its absence tells us the IDE era

Files stay on a private volume, are never shared, and are deleted on request. An NDA on your paper is fine.

Exhibit 1 — eight components detected, five shown. The three at the top cannot be bought or supported, so they are replacement work rather than upgrade work.

What the sample found

5
components with no current vendor — Crystal Reports 8, VB6 common controls, BDE datasets — each is a dependency nobody can sell you a fix for.
1
dead data layer — BDE, Paradox or DAO/Jet. None of them survive a 64-bit rebuild, so the port always runs through the data access code.
37
screens to reproduce — Counted from the form files. Some are never opened; the report says which ones cost the most to keep.

Turnaround

Two business days from the file arriving. Late for a reason on our side and the report is free.

Deliverable

The document, one revision, and the machine-readable findings file. Yours to forward.

Scope

Counted findings and an effort floor. Not a licence audit and not a migration quote.

$2,500per system, one-time

No account, no access to your systems, and the findings file ships with the document.
