HI,

    I've searched this news group for any topics on this and have found
none, so this is why your reading this post.

    I've made a nice P.O. tracking program with Delphi 2.0, I want to be
able to take it to work but I can't get the InstallShield Express to have it
install correctly.   My current version of BDE is 5.01, I needed this just
in order to have the BDE recognized the 32bit fat on hard drives, older
version didn't.

The error I get during the Install says can't Merge IDAPI32.CFG.  Everything
installs(db files, program, icons, ect..), but it wont run.  When I try run
program I get the error that I used to get when I didn't have the newer
version of the BDE.

Any Ideas??

Thanks
Don

Either upgrade your InstallShield Express to version 2.1 or higher or
downgrade the BDE to version 4.51f (that version also supported FAT32).

Don,

I had this error too, it just about drove me insane!  In my case, the
problem turned out to be that I had installed Delphi5 on the machine where
I was building the installers, and I also had Delphi3 installed there
too.  I was using the D3 InstallShield Express and I didn't think having
D5 there would make a difference, because I *only* installed D5, i.e. not
the D5 InstallShield Express, not the BDE that comes with D5, nothing but
D5.  But I did some tests and that really was the problem.  D5 must do
something with the IDAPI32.CFG file.

I don't know if this fits your situation too, hope it's of some help.
