Subject: Re: [DUG] Paradox and
TclientDataSet Delphi 2005 Install Express BDEmerge modules
Thanks Jeremy, does it matter which unit, I placed it in my primary
datamodule.
This is what got me thinking I should include the dll,
"Database applications that use client
datasets such as TClientDataSet or dataset providers require you to
include midaslib.dcu (for static linking when providing a stand-alone
executable); if you are packaging your application (with the executable and
any needed DLLs), you need to include
Midas.dll."
Midas.dll normally lives in the windows /
system32 it seems.
And re including the BDE in my
installs
"You should use InstallShield Express (or
other certified installation program) for installing the BDE. InstallShield
Express creates the necessary registry entries and defines any aliases the
application may require."
But the distributed InstallShield Express
does not have the necessary merge modules readily available. BDE does not
even show as a merge module and the appropriate directories are
empty!
I tried searching Borland for "BDE"
but came up with only three or four entries none of them
relevent.
I realised last night that this is the first app in D2005 I was trying to
deploy that wasn't using MySql or simple text files. Everything else had been
maintenece or extension in D4 Pro as some components I have are not D2005 or
.pas available.
Amyone had to deploy BDE from D2005?

you add the MidasLib unit to the uses clause of a unit in
