Hi all.

I am evaluating Installshield Express 2 for use with distributing
Delphi 1 applications, including the BDE.

If my application is being installed over the top of an existing
installation, Installshield tries to add an alias that already exists,
and I get an error  "Failed in adding alias - Error #3" This does not
abort the install, but it isn't very pretty for the users, and I would
like to be able to suppress it or at least make it user friendly.Any
ideas?

Simple, just create a new install that doesn't install the BDE - ie one
install for new installations and another for updates.  However, if it's
just a couple files you're copying over (i.e. a new EXE), it's probably
easier to write a quick  application in Delphi and use the FileCopy
function (or at lease it was easier for me).

HTH,

-Mike
