It contains information on what files you need to redistribute to support SQL Databases. Read the file bdedeploy.txt in the BDE folder on your computer. You could try to do the following, but I have not tested this myself:ġ. SQL Links is required if you use the BDE to communicate with a SQL database such as InterBase or MS SQL Server. The method for installing the BDE described above does not install SQL Links. Then call DbiAddAlias to create the aliases, DbiCfgSave to save the modified BDE configuration file and finally call DbiExit to unload the BDE. You can request help on these routines by putting the text cursor on them in the Delphi IDE and pressing F1.įirst, DbiInit is called to load the BDE. This is done by calling a few low-level routines from the BDE unit that ships with Delphi. When the routine returns, BDEInst.dll is unloaded and deleted since it no longer serves any purpose.Īfter installing the BDE, you can create BDE aliases in the FinishDeployment routine. This routine will take care of the entire BDE installation. The FinishDeployment procedure from DeployBDE.dll will load BDEInst.dll and call its DllRegisterServer routine. Then, DeployMaster will call the FinishDeployment procedure in the support DLL you included with your package. When DeployMaster is finished installing your application, it will have created the file BDEInst.dll in your application’s program folder on the user’s computer. Build the deployment package, test it and distribute it to your customers. Specify the DeployBDE.dll as the Support DLL on the Project page in the DeployMaster Builder.ĥ. Then compile the project with Delphi into DeployBDE.dllĤ. The comments in the source code explain how to do this. You will need to edit the “alias creation” section in the FinishDeployment procedure so it creates the aliases you want instead of the sample. Download the source code for DeployBDE.dll and open it in Delphi. Important: If you are using the sample DeployBDE support DLL, you must turn off the option to call DllRegisterServer! The DeployBDE sample support DLL will call it, and if you let DeployMaster call it also, the BDE will be installed twice.ģ. Add the file BDEInst.dll to the %APPFOLDER% folder in your DeployMaster setup package. By letting this DLL do the dirty work, we make sure that the BDE is properly installed.Ģ. This DLL contains the Borland Database Engine along with a self-extracting installation program created by Borland. Use a program like WinZIP to extract the file BDEInst.dll from the CAB file.
Find the file BDEInst.cab in the BDE folder on your hard disk or on your Borland development tool (Delphi) CD. Installing the Borland Database Engine with DeployMaster Installing the BDE and Creating Aliasesįollow these steps to include the BDE with your deployment package:ġ.
