'$2109 Cannot initalize the BDE' error when deploying InstallShield application
Question:
I get error $2109 "Cannot initalize the Borland Database Engine"
when running an application deployed with InstallShield Express.
What's wrong?
Answer:
A problem with either ISExpress or your setup configuration in
ISExpress has caused the following entry to be left out of the
registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE|BORLAND|DATABASE ENGINE | DLLPATH.
This entry is probably empty on the deployed machine's registry.
Enter the path to IDAPI32.DLL (usually \borland\common files\bde)
