And as you have indicated - if the BDE is *already* installed on the
machine
by another application then trouble is heading your way. Think about it,
this is not a good idea at all - once the device is unplugged you are
gone.
So if you intend to use this method for a demo which then stuffs the
end-users machine up - guess what, No Sale and a Bad Reputation as well.
Truely I get fed up with developers thinking they are the only ones using
the BDE. I really hate stuff that goes in and messes around with the
registry. My golden rule is that if you have to mess with the Registry
then
you are doing it wrong or to put it more bluntly - Don't Do IT !!
