I have an application written in Delphi 4 Pro, that uses the Borland Database Engine (BDE). When I installed Delphi on my Win10 machine, it hung up during the BDE install. I unchecked the option and it installed OK. However, the BDE seemed to have been installed, and my application was able to build and run OK with the database functions. The setup file I created using Inno Setup includes a section where it uses 'minireg.exe' to install the BDE by running 'bdeinst.dll' which was extracted from the bdeinst.cab file and included in the setup. It also hangs up, but apparently completes the installation in C: Program Files (x86) Common Files Borland Shared BDE On the Inno Setup website I found a suggestion to use a newer install 'bde511en.exe', which I found and downloaded on the Softonics website.

Silent install of Firebird as in old days silent install of BDE with just marking a checkbox in InstallShield Reply. Search for the command line params of the Firebird installer, which happens to be Inno Setup based. Silent install of Firebird as in old days silent install of BDE with just marking a checkbox in InstallShield. Forth pabx service manual.

It runs OK on Win10 (and Win8) but it is only for updating a previous BDE install. So I have kept the original bdeinst.dll in my setup, and informed customers that it will hang up on Win10, but clicking on the dialog box allows Windows to close it and proceed. I don't know just what is involved in the BDE install. I could easily copy the files that I find in the BDE folder to the new installation, but there seem to be some registry entries as well, and it's difficult to find all the instances (a search also finds hex BDE). I don't know why Win10 is having problems - I have checked folder permissions and they seem identical for Win8 and Win10.

I have done a search and found a few ideas, but nothing that solves the problem. TIA, Paul Marco van de Voort, 4:34 น.
