If the.CFG file is in this location, shut down any application that may be using the BDE, and/or check to see if the.CFG is set to read-only (if so, change that quick!). The target machine's BDE Administrator is running during installation. If this is the case, the BDE will not allow the.CFG which is open to be modified. We often forget to update our programs and normally, our works are in delay. To overcome this problem, Borland Database Engine has been created to perform BDL applications update. Application updates: Borland Database Engine is a valuable help to.
