Author Cannot find Engine Config file

2005-05-21, 1:23 pm

I\'m trying to deploy an app using Plus build 1755 with Inno Setup. I\'ve followed the article in the online Knowledgebase \"Using Inno Setup with dBASE Applications\". I\'m using Inno Setup ver. 2.0.19. Everything compiles in IS and the setup program run
s. When I try to run the deployed app I get the following Database Engine Initialization Error:
Cannot Find Engine Configuration file. IDAPI.CFG is in the BDE folder. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Terry Jednaszewski

I tried building the setup in InstallShield (I've updated it for BDE 5.01) and I'm getting the same problem. I get an error msg on install that says: The file IDAPI32.CNF could not be found in SUPPORTDIR. That error is followed by Merging the config file
has failed. Config File: C:\...\IDAPI32.CNF. The last message reads: Failed in Adding Alias. The error number is 2, the configuration file is readOnly.

Problem solved. I had cut & pasted from a kb article and accidently included a custom config file name in my ini. Works fine now.
