How to set the minimum required Windows?

How can I set the minimum required version of Windows with $SETPEFLAG? It can be done with editbin.exe "$(TargetPath)" /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS,5.01 /OSVERSION:5.1 for example.

Solution

  • You cannot set the minimum OS version using the {$SetPeFlags} directive. You have to set it in the Project Options instead, on the Linking page:

    Project | Options | Delphi Compiler | Linking
    Set OS Version fields in PE header as <major>.<minor>

    The default is 5.0 (Windows 2000).
