I need to change some of the parameters of bde when I install the bde
on my client's machines.  I have tried to change the parameters values
of idapi32.cnf in the installshield/redist directory but however when
the bde is installed onto the client's machines the new values was not
used.  Can anyone help me with this?  I am using bde4.51 and the
installshield express for delphi 3 that come with delphi 3.02 cd.  

Thanks

Thanks for the reply, but I am thinking whether I can do it by not
having to write my routine to change the parameters.  At first I
thought changing the idapi.cnf supposes to allow you to change the
parameters values when installshield installs the bde on the client
machine but somehow it did not work.  Anyone know why?

Changing the IDAPI.CNF file will work if the machine you are installing to
does not already have the BDE installed. However, if the machine already has
the BDE installed the user's existing BDE settings will not be changed.

Are you sure you are changing the copy of IDAPI.CNF that InstallShield is
using? That is the only cause of your problem that I can think of.

I have double checked it, in fact I have only one idapi32.cnf in my
system so this could not be wrong.
