Yesterday one of my cutonmers tried to install my application on Win 2003
server 64 bit.
My setup.exe (created with install shield for pdox 7) did not even start.

So i had to manually copy folders with my app, runtime and BDE and
import registry settings (this is my standard procedure for network setup
and I have
done it at least 200 times before).

But to my surprise, pdox did not start, and also BDE did not work properly.
BDE just forgot any change i made to it in bdeadmin32.exe. It also did not
update registry when I changed cfg file.

So I deleted everything and INSTALLED bde with bde52setup.exe.
There I checked "Support Win16 and Win32 BDE" and installed it.
After that it worked OK. I also noticed, that there is nothing in registry,
so I assume it uses some INI files or something??

Question: Is it OK to install BDE in this way or am I missing something?

Thx Jure

unfortunately, the only thing you're missing is that we can count the 64bit
installation reports on one hand, good or bad.. you're partially in virgin
territory..

do some searches, and you'll find a few constants for XP, 2003, Vista, 64bit
systems, etc:

full administrator rights required
don't use the default folders like "my documents" or "program files" for
anything
flag the BDE for the old "Win3.1" rules, and point to your own idapi.cfg
file
