C++Builder Deployment README File
=================================
This file provides information on deploying C++Builder applications
in the following sections:
1) BORLAND C++BUILDER
2) BORLAND DATABASE ENGINE
3) ACTIVEX CONTROLS
4) SAMPLE IMAGES
NOTE: Borland C++Builder includes a redistributable license to
deploy royalty-free applications as well as Borland Database
Engine (BDE).
1) BORLAND C++BUILDER
=====================
C++Builder applications do not require a run-time interpreter
DLL. All you have to provide is your .EXE file, and any DLLs that
it calls.
Note: Before deploying your application, it is a good idea to
build a release version of the application. The default
project builds a debug version of your application. To
change this, go to Options | Project | C++, and click on
the Release button.
You can provide an installation utility for your application, or
simply tell your users how to install it themselves. You should
run the installation utilities for BDE in your application install
program. Several third party companies provide installation and
setup utilities for C++Builder applications.
32-bit Redistributable Files
----------------------------
CP3230MT.DLL
BCBMM.DLL
2) BORLAND DATABASE ENGINE
==========================
Borland Database Engine (BDE) Redistributable Files
---------------------------------------------------
In accordance with the Additional License Terms of this
product, you can distribute the Borland Database Engine
files with your application using a Borland certified
Redistributable Install program such as InstallShield
Express or other compliant install programs. You can
redistribute only those BDE files selected by the Borland
certified install program.
Borland products which include redistribution rights
include a Borland certified install program, such as
InstallShield Express, to ensure proper installation and
de-installation of your applications so that they co-exist
well with other applications which use the Borland Database
Engine including those created with dBase, Paradox, Delphi
Borland C++, and Borland C++Builder.
InstallShield Express also makes it easy to properly
distribute subsets of the Borland Database Engine. This is
useful, for example, if you want to distribute an
application that will only use Paradox tables and you don't
want to include additional files for dBase support.
From time to time, Borland may, at its discretion, certify
additional installation programs for use as the Borland
Certified Install Program for this product. To obtain a
current list of Borland Certified Install programs, check
Borland's Web site at http://www.borland.com, Borland's
CompuServe forum for this product, and Borland's Download
BBS (408-431-5096).
Note that since we allow deployment of Borland Database
Engine files and subsets using a Borland Certified Install
Program, we don't otherwise allow deployment of the
individual BDE files. There are several important reasons
for this:
* Improper installation of BDE or BDE subsets can cause
other applications using BDE to fail. Such applications not
only include Borland products such as Paradox and dBASE, but
many other applications using BDE such as those built with
Borland C++ and Delphi.
* Windows 95 and Windows NT now have stringent un-install
requirements for MS logo certification. Un-installation of
BDE components is especially complex, and if not done
correctly will violate logo requirements and can cause
applications to fail.
* Windows 95 and Windows NT use the registry instead of .INI
files, and making the correct entries and deletions for
install and un-install is another complex task.
By working closely with Borland Certified Install
Program providers, we can ensure that all the BDE
installation, registry, and un-install issues are handled
correctly in all cases including subsets of the BDE.
3) ACTIVEX CONTROLS
===================
Borland C++Builder includes various ActiveX Controls (OCXs) for use in
your applications. They may include:
ChartFX (TM), OCX, SoftwareFX.
Graphics Server (TM) copyright 1990 Bits Per Second Ltd., portions
copyright 1993-1995 Pinnacle Publishing, Inc.
Formula One Spreadsheet (TM) Version 3.0 32bit OCX, Visual Components, Inc.
Visual Speller (TM) Version 2.0 32bit OCX, Visual Components, Inc.
First Impression (RTM) Version 2.0 32bit OCX, Visual Components, Inc.
The version of each of these ActiveX controls shipped with C++Builder may
be redistributed in custom C++Builder applications. Such redistribution
is subject to the Additional License Terms for Development Products.
4) SAMPLES IMAGES
=================
Borland C++Builder includes a library of freely distributable images
normally installed under the subdirectory \IMAGES.
In addition Borland C++Builder also includes a database EVENTS.DB with
licensed images from PhotoDisc. The images in this database are
copyright PhotoDisc, Inc. 1995 and may not be redistributed.
