   When I got Borland Pascal 7, with (for a slight additional cost) the   
   source of the RTL (or something like that), installation failed when all   
   discs were copied together (IIRC).  Omit, when first installing,   
   anything not part of the core product.   
      
   My TPW 1.5 came on 9 720kB 3.5" floppies, without add-ons.   
      
   My BP 7 (effectively including TPW) came on 10 1.44MB 3.5" floppies,   
   with the additional RTL on 1 720kN 3.5" floppy.   
      
   It is possible that he has both; in that case, forget TPW and install   
   the 10 BP7 discs.   
      
   Don't ask me whether it works on Vista; but BP 7 itself runs in an XP   
   command prompt.  It might well matter whether the Vista is 32-bit or   
   64-bit.
