Installation of app / Delphi 3 failing on Windows 2000
I'm attempting to test an application my company developed in Windows 2000. We developed the app using Delphi 3 and the BDE 4.51. When I try installing the application, I get an error stating that the IDSQL32.dll file did not self register. When the BDE attempts to initialize, it fails.
I attempted to load our development environment onto the 2000 machine to see if I could ge it working that way. The Delphi installation failed as well.
I was wondering if Delphi 3/BDE 4.51 is compatible with Windows 2000. Has anyone gotten them to work with W2K, and if so, how?
My thanks....

It got further into the install when I was granted admin access. I was eventually able to get the app running. Thanks for the info...
was there a bde installed before?
it may be that there was a bde 5.x installed.
(if not, then try the bde 5.x,
downlaodable at borland)
