Question:
I need to do a complete reinstallation of Delphi 3. How do I do
this?
Answer:
Uninstall Delphi 3 using the following five steps:
Back up all project files;
Optional: back up aliases by backing up idapi32.cfg, using
it to replace the newly installed idapi32.cfg after
reinstallation;
It is recommended that all third party and custom components
be reinstalled after the complete reinstallation of Delphi 3;
Use the windows add/remove programs utility to remove Delphi 3,
answering "yes" to remove all files;
Manually remove the "Delphi 3" directory from your system.
Install Delphi 3 using the following five steps:
Insert the Delphi 3 CD into CD-ROM Drive;
If auto-play is enabled, the Delphi 3 Setup Launcher will
automatically run. If the Delphi 3 Setup Launcher does not
automatically run, run the file install.exe in the root
directory of your Delphi 3 CD;
Follow the on screen instructions to install Delphi 3;
From Optional Uninstall #2 above: back up idapi32.cfg by
copying over the newly installed idapi32.cfg;
Install all third party and custom components.

Product :Delphi 3.x
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)
