I have stumbeled into this well-know problem again.

I saw the patch at:

http://codecentral.borland.com/codec...sting?id=21475

But it was not clear to me how to patch BDE with it. I have Delphi - and uses it frequently - but are unfamiliar with patching.

Is there any other/better way to fix this annoying insuff. disk space problem.

I also tried to install BDE 5.2, (I got 5.01) but I must admit I do not get it right.

I try to install from

http://info.borland.com/devsupport/bde/bdeupdate.html

The installation seems to be successful, but when I look in the Help of the BDE admin it still says 5.1 from 1998. The bdeadmin.exe is from 12.11.1999, 966 kb.


All hints are welcome

You would be well-advised to use a more recent version of BDE which does not possess this problem. It should be drop-in compatible with what you're using now.
