You can install to the same machine (though to
a different location) as another version of the
product. If you want to install to the same
directory as an existing version, uninstall the
existing version first. In either case, you
should back up your IDAPI.CFG file (if one is
present) and any other important data, including
existing projects that you intend to use with
this version.
Trial requires MSIE 4.0 or later on Win95
-----------------------------------------------
If you are running Windows 95 or 95B, you
MUST have the Microsoft Internet Explorer
(MSIE) browser version 4.0 or later installed
in order to use this Trial. If you do not have
MSIE 4.0 or later, you can download the latest
version of the browser from the Microsoft Web
site at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie
Premature expiration
-----------------------------------------------
On some machines, this Trial edition may expire
prematurely. If this happens to you, visit our
Online Services site at:
http://pso.inprise.com/devsupport/WelcomePage.html
then:
-- Click the Install Support link.
-- Click Create Case, and follow the instructions
on each page.
We will then email you information that will
allow you to continue your evaluation.
Uninstall Internet Control Pack
-----------------------------------------------
If you have installed any previous release of
the Microsoft Internet Control Pack, uninstall
that version before installing this product.
Installing the Borland Database Engine
-----------------------------------------------
This release includes a new version of the
Borland Database Engine (BDE). Unless you
specify other than the default setup directories
during installation, the existing 32-bit BDE and
SQL Links installations will be overwritten.
Note that BDE is available only in the
Enterprise and Professional editions of this
product; 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)
Just-In-Time Debugging
-----------------------------------------------
(Enterprise and Professional editions only)
During installation, you have the option of
updating your Just-In-Time Debugger registry
settings.
If you choose to update your registry, changes
are made to the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AEDebug\Debugger
The key is changed to:
C:\Program Files\Borland\CBuilder5\bin\
bordbg51.exe -aeargs %ld %ld
(where C:\Program Files\Borland\
is the installation directory)
If you do not perform the update during
installation, you get a second chance to update
the registry at program startup. The Just-In-Time
Debugger automatically starts when any program
running on your computer fails. Just-In-Time
debugging and distributed debugging will not work,
however, unless this registry setting is updated.
If you want to preserve your existing AEDebug
settings in case you want to change them back
at a later date, you must follow these steps
BEFORE updating the registry settings:
1. Run Regedit.
2. Select the AEDebug key (noted above).
3. Choose Registry | Export Registry File.
4. Name and save the file containing the
AEDebug key.
To restore the AEDebug settings you can:
1. Run Regedit.
2. Choose Registry | Import Registry File.
3. Specify the file in which you saved the
AEDebug key.
Manually registering the debugger kernel
-----------------------------------------------
If you choose NOT to reboot at the end of the
installation process, you must manually
register the Borland Debugger Kernel
(BORDBK51.DLL) in order to use debugging
features. You must also manually register the
Debugger Kernel if you receive "BORDBK51
not registered" errors after restarting.
To manually register the debugger, open a
command window, switch to the Debugger Kernel
location (default c:\program files\common files\
borland shared\debugger\bordbk51.dll) and run
the Microsoft Register Server utility with the
following command:
regsvr32 bordbk51.dll
Note:
If REGSVR32 is not on your path, switch to
your Windows/System directory and run the
utility with a full path specification
to the Debugger Kernel file.
Important:
Though these instructions will allow you to
run the debugger without restarting after
an installation (or after a failed
registration), we still strongly recommend
that you reboot immediately after installing
this product in order to avoid problems with
other features that rely on properly
registered libraries.
KNOWN INSTALLATION ISSUES
===============================================
Windows 98 users: The directory Browse button
may cause the installation to halt
----------------------------------------------
If installing under Windows 98 with Microsoft
Client for NetWare Networks and the Microsoft
Service for NetWare Directory Services (MSNDS)
network clients:
Installation may exit or stop with a fatal
error message if you click the Browse button
on the directory selection dialog.
Workaround: If you choose not to install to
the default directories, type your directory
choices into the dialog fields, rather than
clicking Browse.
For more information on this problem, see the
following technical articles at the InstallShield
and Microsoft sites:
Search for article Q192249 at:
http://support.microsoft.com/search/default.asp
Search for article Q102400 at:
http://support.installshield.com
InstallShield and Microsoft Outlook 98
--------------------------------------
If Outlook 98 is running when you install this
product, InstallShield will hang. We strongly
recommend that you close Outlook 98 and all
other Windows programs before installing.
Installing Microsoft Data Access Components
-----------------------------------------------
If you chose not to install Microsoft Data
Access Components (MDAC) during setup, you
can, anytime after installation, install
version 2.1.2 of the components by running
MDAC_TYP.EXE from the \MDAC directory on
your product CD.
VisiBroker setup: Final step may halt
C++Builder installation on Windows 9x machines
-----------------------------------------------
Completing a VisiBroker installation may cause
C++Builder installation to halt on some
Windows 95 and Windows 98 systems. The crash
can ONLY occur if you click "OK" in the final
dialog of the VisiBroker installation (the dialog
asks if you want to view the VisiBroker readme
file). If you choose NOT to view the readme file
when asked, the crash will NOT occur.
If the crash occurs, your C++Builder installation
will be incomplete and you'll have to reinstall
the product.
To reinstall C++Builder after the crash:
1. Delete all files and folders from the
previous installation location (normally
C:\Program Files\Borland\CBuilder5).
IMPORTANT: If you created the installation
folder before running C++Builder installation
and copied any customized documents, projects,
or files into the folder before starting the
installation, remember to MOVE the customized
files out of the tree before deleting it.
2. Run C++Builder setup from your CD, but do
NOT install VisiBroker this time (it should
already be correctly installed). To skip
VisiBroker installation, choose Custom or
Typical install (NOT Full) and clear the
VisiBroker checkbox when the option is
presented.
If after reinstalling C++Builder you later
choose to reinstall VisiBroker, run the
following program from your C++Builder CD:
\Vbroker\setup.exe
InterBase Client
-----------------------------------------------
When installing this product and InterBase
client, an invalid error message (error code 401,
"String variable is not large enough for string.
Check the string declarations".) may occur on
installations that involve very long directory
paths. If you see the message, you can ignore
it (click OK in the message box) and proceed
with your installation.
InterBase install/registry
-----------------------------------------------
If the error "Internal error near: IBcheck"
occurs, check the PATH value for the
registry key:
HK_Current_user\environment
If it is a hex value, delete it or convert
it to a character string.
InterBase and NetWizard
-----------------------------------------------
NetWizard may interfere with the installation of
InterBase (not included with all editions of
this Borland product). When this occurs, the
error message, "Error trying to interface with
Windows shell" will appear. Workaround: disable
NetWizard prior to installing InterBase.
Compatibility issues
-----------------------------------------------
For last-minute compatibility issues not covered
in this file, see the README.TXT file at the
root of your release CD, and the Compatibility
Issues section of the online Help file.
INTERNATIONAL ISSUES
===============================================
C++Builder 5 and DBCS
-----------------------------------------------
Do not install C++Builder 5 into a folder
containing double-byte characters.
JRE installation may generate false error
-----------------------------------------------
(Enterprise edition only)
If installing C++Builder 5 on a Japanese system,
an error message may appear at the end of the
installation of the Java Runtime Environment
(JRE). [Setup only attempts to install or upgrade
JRE if VisiBroker is selected as an install
option or if a Full installation is selected].
This error, which only occurs on the installation
configuration noted above, may be ignored (the
JRE will be installed correctly).
UNINSTALLING THE PRODUCT
===============================================
To uninstall this release from your computer,
open the Control Panel folder and double-click
the Add/Remove Programs icon. Select
Borland C++Builder 5 from the list, click
the Add/Remove button, and follow the
instructions that appear on the screen.
Uninstalling when McAfee virus scanner active
-----------------------------------------------
Because it normally scans "outbound files"
(such as files being uninstalled), recent
versions of McAfee virus scanner may cause long
delays during uninstallation of this product.
Windows NT users can switch off this protection
option by right-clicking the VShield icon in the
system tray, choosing Properties, then
deselecting the "Outbound Files" option in the
"Scan" group. Windows 95/98 versions of VShield
do not have the "Outbound Files" option, but
users may speed the uninstall by disabling
"System Scan" directly from the VShield tray icon.
