ISE DOES NOT FIND IDAPI32.CNF
Massimo Delledonne
I'm deploying ... everything seems fine, but when I try to install the
application on another computer, at the end of the installation I get
the following message:
'The file IDAPI32.CNF could not be located in support dir'
if I click on OK I get another message:
'Config file: c:\program files\common files\borland\bde\idapi.cnf'
Application doesn't run. Error with Vdb7run.exe
any idea?
thanks a lot

Have you downloaded and read DEPLOY7.ZIP at my website? It covers a
lot of things, one of which is the need to do a FULL BDE installation
-- don't bother with the partial -- you will always have errors.
Included is a list of files that must be deployed and their respective
groups -- you may want to make sure you're getting them all.

I'm deploying the whole BDE but, reading your DEPLOY7.ZIP, I found that
I have just one IDAPI32.CNF loaded on my computer (the one I use to
develop application), under installshield/redist, which is dated
04/02/1996.
Therefore, its date is different from teh date you report.
You mention that with BDE 5.01 this file should be dated even
differently from the one to be used with the old BDE. I'm wondering
where to find IDAPI32.CNF for BDE 4 and 5
thanks

Dunno. I got that information from someone else. Did you download the
2.01 version of InstallShield?
Massimo Delledonne
is just one IDAPI32.CNF .. one year older than the one you mention
should be used to deploy
Any suggestion?

Just recently did my first deploy. Following advice here, I specified
the full BDE and verified the file list with that shown in deploy7.
Still got an error installing on a machine that didn't have _any_
version of BDE on it - no Corel, Delphi, etc. and the only dBASE
versions installed were DOS ones.
There was a message box about a failure to merge BDE configuration
files. I had it continue (what the heck <g>?) and all seems to be
working correctly. However, having that messagebox with the red stop
sign pop up was unnerving....
Was it me? or something in ISE?

Nope. Did the deploy work? Did you get the latest version of the
DEPLOY7 file? It includes more information that may help you out with
this.
Massimo Delledonne
I've downloaded your DEPLOY7 file 3 days ago. I suppose it is the latest
version.
In it, you mention that IDAPI32.CNF should be dated 02-24-97 for BDE 4.5
(according to Rick Miller), whereas for BDE 5.01 it should be dated
11-14-97 (according to Gerald Lightsey).
Now, as written before, when I deploy my application I get the following
message:
'The file IDAPI32.CNF could not be located in support dir'
if I click on OK I get another message:
'Config file: c:\program files\common files\borland\bde\idapi.cnf'
Now, the problem seems to be related to IDAPI32.CNF, which on my
computer is dated 04/02/1996. I've reinstalled installshield 2.01 but
still that file is dated 1996 and still is not possible to deploy .....
Of course I've choosen the FULL BDE installation ...
With ISE 2.01 and VdB 7.01, I am not able to obtain a successful
installation of my application on a computer which does not carry VdB7
already.
any help?

Nope. Brand new computer with little on it yet. Definitely no BDE at
all (I looked <g>)

I don't know what you're doing differently, but I have deployed
VdB7.01/IS2.01 on non-VdB computers. I don't remember doing anything
special. I did not set up any aliases because the program code did
that. I did nothing special for the BDE except include a FULL BDE
deployment and did NOT specify both 16 and 32 bit.

I ran into this same problem when I attempted to deploy my project when
working on the beta of Ken's Tutorial Project, but finally concluded it
was something I'd done wrong in the coding.
Strangely, I could get it to work if I installed vdb7 on the computer
after the project, and then remove vdb7 immediately. If I then
reinstalled the project, it again would not run. Something gets written
over, but what?

Nope, I haven't had a need to do a deployment since I got the upgraded

I have 5.01 from performing inline update 1 and 2 for Delphi 4. I tried
to deploy Ken's Tutorial project with it. At the end of the deploy I
get an error form labeled "Severe" that says "Merging The Configuration
File Has Failed. Config File: C:\Program files\Common
Files\Borland\BDE\IDAPI.CNF"
This is followed by another error "Failed In Adding Alias The Error
Number is 3, Initialization Failed"
If I try to open the deployed application it errors with "This Program
has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down"
Both the development PC and the target PC are running Windows 98.
I have seen several posts from others indicating they had encountered the
"Merging" error above. No one has come back saying they had overcome the
problem.
Gerald
Massimo Delledonne
I'm not happy to see I'm not the only one with the 'severe problem'
window indicating a problem with IDAPI32.CNF, but on the other hand I'm
happy not to be alone with this problem.
It seems to be a generalised problem, therefore we probably need
Inprise/Borland help to solve it ...
I don't know of anybody who has been able to deploy with BDE 5 .. may be
it's time for the company to help us DISTRIBUTING what we have created
What hell can I do with an application that cannot be installed on
customer's computers?
anyway, hope to be able to install my application soon, but I'm not able
to do that without your help
thanks for all, guys

That usually happens when there are BDE registry keys left. Before the
install runs, check whether the following two registry keys exist:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Borland\BLW32
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Borland\Database Engine
If you are sure there never was a BDE application on that machine, these
two keys should NOT exist.

Hi Gerald,
this is probably due to the fact that the IDAPINST.DLL that is shipped with
InstallShield Express 2.01 is not the correct version.
The DLL that you require (Version 5.x) is available at
http://www.tdag.org/downloads/idapinst50.dll.
Rename it to idapinst.dll and replace any existing version after making a
backup. This DLL will ONLY work with BDE 5.0 and above.
Also follow the instructions that are given elsewhere in this thread on how
to deploy BDE 5.0 with the Express version that is shipped/downloadable for
VDbase.

What is the date and size of the revised file. Is it the same one that

That is strange because the URL does not point to an html page, it
points directly to the DLL. You shouldn't go to _any_ page, your
browser should just download the file.

2.04? There is no Visual dBASE 2.04 ... not that I'm aware of ...
there's a 2.01 ISE update ... (and if that's what you mean, yes, if
you are using BDE 5.x you would need the new .DLL).

I use IE 4.01. I just double clicked the url in Agent and IE snagged
the file for me. As far as a deployment with the new file, I'll try
it. I don't have a really clean machine to test on now.

Actually I realized when I saw my posting that I typoed that. Does
this work to just upgrade your Visual dBASE ISE? Or is it a separate
version? If a separate version it may not understand Visual dBASE, the
BDE, and such.

it for some 16 bit deployments, then realized it would do 32 bit vdB also.
I don't think it works with the version that came with vdB, but it does
understand and deploy both the 16 and 32 bit versions of vdB, and integrates
the 32 bit BDE in quite well.
It did not upgrade the version that came with 7.X.

Subject: Re: ISE DOES NOT FIND IDAPI32.CNF
Dear Massimo,
The File You found was the correct one for
Deployment with the
Version of InstallShield that ships with VDB.
Idapi32.cnf last Modified date of February 4,
1996
The Deployment files are specific to the version
of InstallShield You use. InstallShield by
Default uses the files found in Your
BDE directory, Redist directory and Bin directory.
If You should install any Applications
ie: BDE 5.01, Delphi, IntraBuilder or C++Builder
one or more of these files may be changed.
The consequences of this can vary a great deal.
The error message You
describe is one of them.
The solution we implemented was to Copy the files
necessary for the
version of InstallShield we use with VDB
Deployments to a separate Directory.
Whenever we create a VDB Deployment we select the
files from this Directory.

Stefan,
I appreciate your trying to help here, but I am still unable to penetrate
the above address. There does not seem to be a downloads page for
www.tdag.org. When I click on the above url exactly as shown above, I
just go to the home page of TDAG. If I input the above url into the
browser, same thing. If I use Getright on the above url I just get a
copy of the home page with the name idapinst50.zip.
I have always been able to download files set up for download on a web
site but this process sure isn't working for me.

TDAG does not have a download page. Your browser is just not up for it. It

I can't, sorry. This is mostly because I've gone against company policy and

instructions to change its name to IDAPINST.DLL and placed it in the
REDIST directory under the directory "IS Express for Visual dBASE 7",
which is the only place the old IDAPINST.DLL shows up in connection with
VdB7 in the development PC. I rebuilt the deployment. The results,
unfortunately is the same as before...
At the end of the deploy I get an error form labeled "Severe" that says
"Merging The Configuration File Has Failed. Config File: C:\Program
files\Common Files\Borland\BDE\IDAPI.CNF"
This is followed by another error "Failed In Adding Alias The Error
Number is 3, Initialization Failed"
If I try to open the deployed application it errors with "This Program
has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down"
Both the development PC and the target PC are running Windows 98.
...during the deployment I saw a reference to IDAPINST.DLL but after the
deployment the file did not show up anywhere on the target PC. Keep in
mind this is the latest version of the 5.1 BDE. Do you have any further
suggestions?

I hate to see you struggle with this darn thing so much, so I just
e-mailed it to you. I hope you don't mind.
