DELPHI INSTALLATION
===========================================================

Starting the installation program
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Delphi 5 installation program should run automatically 
when you insert your CD. Otherwise, launch the setup 
program-- INSTALL.EXE --from your CD. 

From the Launcher, you can install Delphi, InstallShield 
Express, and other programs (which vary depending on your
edition of Delphi). You can also connect directly to Borland
to register your copy of Delphi (requires a working Internet 
connection).

***********************************************************
IMPORTANT! Be sure to reboot the computer (as prompted by
the installation program) after installing and before using
the product.
***********************************************************

Installation directory
-----------------------------------------------------------
By default, Delphi 5 installs into the directory:

  \Program Files\Borland\Delphi5

This README and most other documentation assumes these 
defaults. 

If you install to a different location, be sure you do
not install over any previous Delphi release.

Installing the Borland Database Engine
-----------------------------------------------------------
This release of Delphi includes a new version of the
Borland Database Engine (BDE). Unless you specify other
than the default setup directories during installation,
Delphi will overwrite existing 32-bit BDE and SQL Links
installations. 

Note that BDE is available only in the Enterprise and 
Professional editions of Delphi 5; SQL Links is available 
only in the Enterprise edition. For additional BDE 
installation information, see BDEINST.TXT in your main 
BDE directory (installation default: 
  C:\Program Files\Common Files\Borland Shared\Bde)
  

KNOWN INSTALLATION ISSUES
===========================================================

InterBase Client
-----------------------------------------------------------
When installing Delphi and InterBase client, an invalid
error message may occur. With an error code of 401, the
message is "String variable is not large enough for string.
Check the string declarations". Ignore the error and click
the OK button, the installation will proceed normally. When
this problem does occur, it should only be on installations
involving very long directory paths.

InterBase Install/Registry
-----------------------------------------------------------
If the error "Internal error near: IBcheck" occurs, check
the PATH value for the registry key:
HK_Current_user\environment and if it is a hex value delete
it or convert it to a character string.

InterBase 5 and NetWizard
-----------------------------------------------------------
NetWizard may interfere with the installation of InterBase
5 (not included with all editions of Delphi), resulting in
the error "Error trying to interface with Windows shell."
You must disable NetWizard prior to installing Delphi.

Known installation issues with Delphi and other products
-----------------------------------------------------------
For issues that relate to Delphi 5 installation, see
README.TXT on the root of your Delphi 5 CD.


REMOVING DELPHI
===========================================================
To uninstall Delphi 5 from your computer, open the 
Control Panel folder and double-click the Add/Remove 
Programs icon. Select Borland Delphi 5 from the list, then 
click the Add/Remove button. Follow the instructions that 
appear on the screen.
