Damn yes. I thought it can't make such a big difference.

I tested with a new program and it works. I still don't know why my friend
could not compile even a new project. Anyway we will work with binaries now
and return to Lazarus installation later, if he is still interested.

Again it looks like the Windows installer works after all.
Thanks.
