Easy, set it up once then overwrite the \Program Files\Common Files\Borland Shared\BDE\IDAPI.CFG. You can also overwrite this file as part of your install by cheating and attaching a self extracting .zip file to do this overwrite, then firing it from the 'run file' at end of install.

Hello folks!<br />
<br />
I'm working on a project using Delphi4 and Paradox DataBases. &nbsp;I've done most of my project but I have a Q regarding the installation stuff. &nbsp;I use InstallShield Express for Delphi which comes with Delphi4 for the installation setup. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Everything works fine except for one thing: &nbsp;I can't figure out a way to configure the NET DIR (configuration -&gt; Drivers -&gt; Native -&gt; Paradox) at install time. &nbsp;I have to sit at every single computer to change the path which, at our age of speed and productivity, isn't what my boss wants! &nbsp;I would like to set the setup file to change it automatically.<br />
<br />
Any hint ?

Hello folks!

I'm working on a project using Delphi4 and Paradox DataBases.  I've done most of my project but I have a Q regarding the installation stuff.  I use InstallShield Express for Delphi which comes with Delphi4 for the installation setup.  

Everything works fine except for one thing:  I can't figure out a way to configure the NET DIR (configuration -> Drivers -> Native -> Paradox) at install time.

Any hint ?

BDE installation!
