Running Delphi with an alternate registry key

I found this documentation that indicates that you can start Delphi using an alternate registry key. But I can not get it to work (using Delphi 2007, also tried 2010). The purpose of my shortcut is

"C: \ Program Files \ CodeGear \ RAD Studio \ 5.0 \ bin \ bds.exe" -pDelphi -rHKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Borland \ BDS \ 5.0

When I launch Delphi without downloading packages. Am I passing the key incorrectly? This function is not in 2007/2010? (it seems to exist since packages downloaded at startup are not loading)

What am I trying to use ?:

I have different spreads using different versions of third-party components. When I need to fix an error in an old branch, the UI (works with a later version of a third party) modifies dfm, uses the section ect. to match the version installed in the user interface. Old branch still refers to old version of third party and crash

Yes, you are using the r parameter with the wrong value. The default value is "BDS", and the resulting key is "HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Borland \ BDS \ 5.0" (for D2007). If you specify a different value, for example, "MyKey", it will use the key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Borland \ MyKey \ 5.0".
