I have been asked to produce an application that must not have any files located on the PC. Everything must remain on the CDROM. As the application is read only there is no problem with the databases but I am not sure about BDE and the runtime stuff. Could it be included on the CD and still work ? If not then it will have to be back to dBase IV or 5 for DOS. Thanks in advance for your help. Steve

You could do it in VdB 5.6, but I don't think VdB 7.01 will be amenable to that, given all the registry entries that are needed for installation. Since VdB 5.6 is 16-bit and all associated DLLs are 16-bit they don't need to be in the Registry to be found. Put everything in the root directory of the CD. Betcha that'll work!

I believe that it might be made to work if both VdB and the BDE are installed in the same directory on the CD, and that directory is made the working directory at launch. __ Bowen Moursund (TeamB) bowen at nerds dot com http://lonestar.texas.net/~moursund/ Try this help resource: http://www.dejanews.com/home_ps.shtml

Bowen Could you give me a bit more detail as 7.01 is the version that I have. Do you simply mean that I should identify which files installshield would normally install and copy these with the program files and databases into the same directory on the CD ? Changes to the registry are acceptable to my client. Do I need to make any ? Many thanks in anticipation for your help Steve

Probably not, if you use the above technique. __ Bowen Moursund (TeamB) bowen at nerds dot com http://lonestar.texas.net/~moursund/ Try this help resource: http://www.dejanews.com/home_ps.shtml

Bowen I tried it and all worked Ok except that I got an error regarding the language driver - "can't find winuso(517)" or something like that. I simply added a line few lines to the registry pointing to the CD drive for the .bll files and it worked perfectly. Thanks for your help. Steve
