<DIV>A firm with legacy software using BDE from Delphi 5 is upgrading
workstations to Windows 7, or will as soon as they can find an installer for the
BDE. We know the BDE will run on Windows 7, as it is part of D2007 and XE2
and is on my Windows 7 PC here, installed as part of later Delphi.
Its even the exact same version of the BDE as far as I recall, unchanged from
Delphi 5.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The problem is only the installer – (it does forbidden things I suspect
such as putting configuration files under the Program Files folder).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>They are also upgrading to later Delphi, but the replacing workstations
comes first. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Does anyone know of a separate installer for the BDE alone for Windows
7? (In D2007 it’s buried in the huge IDE install).</DIV>
