to install the BDE outside of any program files folder eg C:\BDE. I cannot
remember any more detail than that, but you could try the paradox groups and
ask there.>>
We tried that without success. I think part of the problem may be that the
installshield version that we had been using from CB3 is an old version that
is itself incompatible with 64 bit. we tried to use the InstallAware
version from CB2007 but it doesn't have an automatic installation program
for the BDE so we were trying to install it by hand simply by copying the
appropriate files and making the registry entries manually and it just
fought us. (we were trying to talk a user through the process over the
telephone and who knows what might have gotten lost in translation.) I'm
thinking we might need to be using an installation program that knows how to
install the BDE and lets us tell it where to put it and how to setup the
registry.
anyone got a recommended installation program that knows about the BDE?
also where are these paradox groups you want me to look in? I don't see them
on borland.public.*
