Hello Patrick
I am using the same idea for two projects. One a forms package for making
various NZ forms, the other for an Engine Trending program for the US Navy's
P3 Orion and C130 Hercules planes.
Each package has a server and a client installation described on half a page
each. On the server the BDE, the Pdox files and the Applications are placed.
On the client lines are put into the registry for the BDE parameters. Disk
space consumed on the client is about 2K.
I also take care to ensure no existing BDEs are overwritten. Alias
installation is also handled.
My reason for doing this is when either package is used in a multi-user
place there is only one serious installation required, that of the server
installation. The client side is installed easily by running a program
residing on the server at the client pc. Making the installation as simple
as possible is important. The software for handling this BDE installation
for each client was taken from some unsupported software at Borland, and
modified, corrected as I recall.
Regards
Russell
