Hi all,
After upgrading to BDE 5.01, the InstallShield Express
generated installation
set give an error during installation at the "Configuring
BDE" step. The error said
that "Merging configuration file idapi.cnf failed ...". When
I run the installed application,
it return an error saying "Database engine error ..." and
also when I try to run
bdeadmin.exe. With BDE 4.5, the installation set works
perfectly. Have anyone
encounter this problem ? Do I need to upgrade the
redistributable file from
InstallShield named:
"C:\Program Files\InstallShield\IS Express for Visual
dBASE\redist\idapi.cnf" ?

I think I found the problem (reason). This is because BDE 5.01 is an *UPGRADE* meaning it requires that the target machine have an existing installation of BDE. I try installing BDE 5.01 on a clean machine and it complaint that it requires an existing installation. However, after I run the InstallShield installation set (which gives the error), I then install the upgrade BDE 5.01 and it works. However, I will need to manually setup the BDE since the setting in InstallShield is lost. --- Steven Choi Toronto, Canada
