I am wanting to upgrade our code from Delphi 2007/2010 to XE5, and I am running into some roadblocks... third party libraries...

We have upwards of 20 of those, some of which are buried deep in the darker caverns of our code, and some that I think the original developers threw in there merely to torment future developers. It is cumbersome (nigh impossible) to re-install the IDE, let alone upgrade.

Anyone have any advice/wisdom on whether ripping out the more obscure components is wise/worth it?

At this point, my lack of experience with Delphi is leaving me with no idea which direction to go.

Thanks!
