Installing BDE wipes out existing BDE aliases
We have an application we install using InstallShield Developer 8 using the
BDE Merge Module. It installs and works fine by itself. The problem is, that when another application that uses the BDE is already installed on the target PC, our installation is clearing the BDE aliases from the previous BDE installation. Per the merge module instructions, we are installing a BDEMerge.ini file with the BDE. It is very simple, it contains only a single line for the paradox driver, no aliases are defined. It was created using the BDEMergeCfg.exe. Is there anyway to keep from wiping out BDE settings of a previous install? |
