DELPHI INSTALLATION
===========================================================
Starting the installation program
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Delphi 5 installation program should run automatically
when you insert your CD. Otherwise, launch the setup
program-- INSTALL.EXE --from your CD.
From the Launcher, you can install Delphi, InstallShield
Express, and other programs (which vary depending on your
edition of Delphi). You can also connect directly to Borland
to register your copy of Delphi (requires a working Internet
connection).
***********************************************************
IMPORTANT! Be sure to reboot the computer (as prompted by
the installation program) after installing and before using
the product.
***********************************************************
Installation directory
-----------------------------------------------------------
By default, Delphi 5 installs into the directory:
\Program Files\Borland\Delphi5
This README and most other documentation assumes these
defaults.
If you install to a different location, be sure you do
not install over any previous Delphi release.
Installing the Borland Database Engine
-----------------------------------------------------------
This release of Delphi includes a new version of the
Borland Database Engine (BDE). Unless you specify other
than the default setup directories during installation,
Delphi will overwrite existing 32-bit BDE and SQL Links
installations.
Note that BDE is available only in the Enterprise and
Professional editions of Delphi 5; SQL Links is available
only in the Enterprise edition. For additional BDE
installation information, see BDEINST.TXT in your main
BDE directory (installation default:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Borland Shared\Bde)
REMOVING DELPHI
===========================================================
To uninstall Delphi 5 from your computer, open the
Control Panel folder and double-click the Add/Remove
Programs icon. Select Borland Delphi 5 from the list, then
click the Add/Remove button. Follow the instructions that
appear on the screen.
