DELPHI 3 INSTALLATION NOTES --------------------------- IMPORTANT: -------------------------------------------------------- Before installing, you must un-install any previously installed version of Delphi 3. You should also back up your existing IDAPI32.CFG file before installation. If you have installed any previous release of the MS Internet Control Pack, un-install that version before installing Delphi. -------------------------------------------------------- Delphi 3 works with the last release of Delphi 2. However, be sure to back up important data, including projects you intend to share between versions 2 and 3, before attempting to install the new version. Install Delphi from the Setup Launcher on the Delphi CD-ROM. Under Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0, the Setup Launcher starts automatically when you insert the CD in your CD drive. Under Windows NT 3.51, run INSTALL.EXE on the CD. To run the Setup Launcher on a network or shared drive, you must map a drive letter to the drive. From the Setup Launcher, you can install Delphi 3, InstallShield Express, and other programs. You can also connect directly to Borland Online to register your copy of Delphi. By default, Delphi installs into the \Program Files\Borland\Delphi 3 directory. If you install to a different location, make sure you do not install over any previous Delphi release. The README file and all other documentation assume that you have used the default directory structure. This release of Delphi includes a new version of the Borland Database Engine. Unless you change the default setup directories, Delphi will overwrite existing 32-bit BDE and SQL Links installations. After installing, reboot your system so it can replace any files that may have been locked during installation. --------------------------------------------------------- Please review README.TXT once installation is complete. Before distributing Delphi applications, please review your license agreement and DEPLOY.TXT (on the Delphi CD or in the Delphi 3 directory). --------------------------------------------------------- README.TXT contains an overview of the directories on the Delphi CD-ROM. About Sybase SQL Links (Delphi Client/Server) --------------------------------------------- If you are installing Delphi and SQL Links for use with Sybase version 4.2 or lower, select DBLIB when prompted by the installation utility. CTLIB is recommended for use with Sybase System 10 and higher. Minimum System Requirements --------------------------- Delphi 3 requires Microsoft Windows 95, Windows NT, or a 100% compatible operating system; an 80486 or better processor; 8Mb of system memory (12 recommended) for Windows 95, and 16Mb of system memory for Windows NT; a monitor with VGA or higher resolution; a CD-ROM player; and a mouse or other pointing device. This release is optimized for Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0, but will also run under Windows NT 3.51 if Service Pack 5 or later is installed. The table below shows the amount of hard disk space required for an installation of Delphi 3 and the Borland Database Engine. These figures include approximately 10 Mbytes of disk space that are used only during installation. Version Full Compact -------------- -------- -------- Standard 130Mb 50Mb Professional 140Mb 55Mb Client/Server 170Mb 60Mb To conserve disk space, you can also perform a Custom installation, selecting only the options you require. Un-installing Delphi -------------------- To remove Delphi from your computer, follow the directions below. WINDOWS 95 or WINDOWS NT 4.0 Open the Control Panel folder, and double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon. Select Delphi 3 from the list displayed, then click the Add/Remove button. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen. WINDOWS NT 3.51 Double-click the UnInstall icon in the Delphi program group. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen. Remember that InterBase and other programs installed from the Setup Launcher require separate un-installation. NOTE: If you run Delphi setup more than once, un-install remembers only the last-installed Delphi components. For example, suppose you choose not to install the Help files during your first setup, and then run setup again, this time selecting only the Help files for installation. If you try to un-install Delphi afterwards, only the Help files will be removed. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Unless otherwise noted, all materials provided in this release are Copyright 1983 - 1997 by Borland International. ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------- END ----------------------------
