BDE Merge Module installer does not detect C++Builder 6 installation

BDE Merge Module installer does not detect C++Builder 6 installation

Description:

I am using C++Builder 6 and InstallShield Express. When I try to install the BDE Merge Module, I get an error like the following:

--------------------
Setup could not detect a valid version of Delphi or C++Builder.
To use this module, you must have an Enterprise version of Delphi or C++Builder installed.
Installation cannot continue.
--------------------

This happens even though I have the correct version of C++Builder 6 installed. How can I install the BDE Merge Module?

Answer/Solution:

This problem occurs because the BDE Merge Module installer looks specifically for C++Builder 5, and therefore does not detect C++Builder 6. It looks in the Registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER | Software | Borland | C++Builder | 5.0 and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | Software | Borland | C++Builder | 5.0, and it also looks for C++Builder 5's BCB.EXE binary (in the location specified in the Registry).

Please contact Borland Support for assistance with this. A support engineer should be able to send you the required Registry keys to import, as well as the needed BCB.EXE.
