E. Installation Procedure
------------------------IMPORTANT!
Do not install Borland C++ 5.02 over previously installed Borland C++
directories. The files in this distribution will not work with
previously shipped tools and libraries. This is particularly true
for configuration files from previous shipping releases, like
TDCONFIG.TDW and BCCONFIG.BCW.
We recommend that you do not install Borland C++ to a path that
contains spaces or long filenames because some 16-bit components do
If you run the online registration module during Setup and then
cancel without completing registration, the module adds an EXE to
your system startup files. After 14 days, the EXE reminds you to
register.
Windows 95 users can remove the reminder by editing WIN.INI to delete
REMIND.EXE from the load= line.
Windows NT users should edit both WIN.INI and the system registry.
Launch REGEDT32.EXE. Choose the HKEY_CURRENT_USER window. Browse to
this key: Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows. Edit
the value named "load."
