BDE v5.01 YUCK!

[Trudy]

It does not install from InstallShield Image...

Is Inprise going to fix this??? I have upgraded to Borland C++ Builder
4.0 and
the BDE is now at version 5.01. When testing the install on a clean
machine (no
BDE, no Borland product) it couldn't merge the configuration file.
InstallShield kept
updating the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Borland\Database
Engine\CONFIGFILE01
key to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Borland\BDE\IDAPINEW.CFG
instead of C:\Program Files\Common Files\Borland\BDE\IDAPI32.CFG. Where
is it
getting the IDAPINEW.CFG file????

Previous releases of my software was with BDE v4.00 and I had no
problems. Now
that I've updated my compiler software (and therefore the BDE) I have a
real problem and can't
release any more software until it gets fixed. Makes for bad business
relationships....
I need to get released software out to customers and I can't get a
"healty" IS image!!!

I believe there is a patch for IS Express on both the Borland and IS Web
sites that fixes this problem.

Trudy,

I think you have the same problem I haev. There seems to be some 'timing
problem' (as they call it) when installing the BDE version 5. I tried it
with Wise 6 and also with IS Express, but we still have customers that haev
problems installing it. It occurs on random systems, new and fast, slower
and older, Windows 95 as well as Windows 98. I cannot understand it.

I searched for patched for Wise as well as fior IS, but could not find them.
If you do, please let me know.

Best regards,

Can someone post a fix to this if you find it. I am fighting the same
problem with my foreign languages (German, French, and Japanese). I can get
the English files to merge, but 2 of the foreign languages will not work????

Here is a FAQ from Borland on this issue:

I hope that this will help some of you, and I hope that someone can point me
in the right direction.

Thanks,
