I reported earlier problems installing the update patch to ADO Express for
BCB 5.0 Professional.  Someone sent an email asking if I ever solved the
problem.  The answer is yes, based on the following post made by Yu-Chen
Hsueh, in borland.public.install.cppbuilder, on May 3.

When you install C++Builder 5.0 Update #1, its modifies your system in
three ways that are necessary for the ADOExpress Update to properly install.
Specifically, the date stamps of your BCB.EXE and BCC32.EXE files are
updated to 5:01 a.m., and a registry key (Update #1=TRUE) is added to the
Windows registry. For some reason, it seems that one or more of these
modifications was not successfully performed. I suggest you do these
modifications manually, as follows...

          UPDATE DATE STAMP FOR BCB.EXE
          1) From Windows, open a DOS box and navigate to the directory
where BCB.EXE is
               (If you installed to the default directories, BCB.EXE will be
in C:\Program Files\Borland\CBuilder5\Bin)
          2) Type "touch -t05:01:00 bcb.exe" (without the quotes) at the
command line, and then hit <Enter>
               (The "touch" utility updates the date stamp, "-t" is the
switch for time, and "05:01:00" sets the time to 5:01 a.m.)
          3) Close the DOS box

          UPDATE DATE STAMP FOR BCC32.EXE
          1) From Windows, open a DOS box and navigate to the directory
where BCC32.EXE is
               (If you installed to the default directories, BCC32.EXE will
be in C:\Program Files\Borland\CBuilder5\Bin)
          2) Type "touch -t05:01:00 bcc32.exe" (without the quotes) at the
command line, and then hit <Enter>
               (The "touch" utility updates the date stamp, "-t" is the
switch for time, and "05:01:00" sets the time to 5:01 a.m.)
          3) Close the DOS box

          ADD REGISTRY KEY TO WINDOWS REGISTRY
          1) From Windows, go to Start | Run
          2) In the dialog box, type "regedit" and then hit <Enter>
          3) In the left side of the Registry Editor window that appears,
expand the folders in the following order:
                    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | Software | Borland | C++Builder |
5.0
          4) You want to add the registry key to the 5.0 folder, so
highlight that folder
               (Note: If you notice that the "Update #1=TRUE" registry
entry already exists in this folder, you do not need to
               add it yourself and may skip the subsequent steps)
          5) Right-click on empty space in the right side of the Registry
Editor window, and select New | String Value
          6) Enter "Update #1" (without the quotes) as the Name of this new
member, and then hit <Enter>
          7) Once "Update #1" appears in the list on the right side of the
window, right-click on it and select Modify
          8) Enter "TRUE" (without the quotes) as the Data field of this
member, and then hit <Enter>
          9) Close the Registry Editor

     Once you have finished these steps, try installing the ADOExpress
Update again. It should install without any problems.
