I re-installed BC++ after I had installed MS-DOS 5.0 and i found a
small problem.  I have a 286 with 2.5meg and I run the protected mode
versions of the compiler and such.  After I re-installed BC++ I
couldn't get tkinst to run.  It kept failing with "A20 already
enabled" messages.  After thinking about it I remembered that I had
HIGH=DOS (or is it DOS=HIGH) in my config.sys.  I took that out,
rebooted, and the installation ran fine.  I also installed td286 at
the same time and it installed fine.  I put the HIGH=DOS back in and
things are back to normal.

The result?  tkinst (and maybe td286ins) don't work with HIGH=DOS but
td286, bcx, tlinkx, etc. work just fine with HIGH=DOS.
