I use Inno Setup to make installation. I used this line for my application which used Paradox database to install BDE [Run] Filename: {sys}REGSVR32.EXE; Parameters: "/S ""{tmp}BdeInst.dll"""; StatusMsg: "Installing Borland Database Engine..."; Flags: runminimized; Please help me, thanks in advance.

Also I read that most windows has already Microsof Jet drivers. So I think I only need to deploy database and my application and it will work. Am I right!? Should I use ODBC drivers instead of Jet (what is the difference), please I need any suggestions regarding this. I'm newbie with ADO so I would really apprechiate any help or directions. Thanx.

Yes, but it's not enough, you need MDAC as well. Quote: Also I read that most windows has already Microsof Jet drivers. So I think I only need to deploy database and my application and it will work. Am I right!? That cannot be completely safe, it depends on your target. On newer systems your application will likely work, but you can't be sure. Quote: Should I use ODBC drivers instead of Jet (what is the difference), please I need any suggestions regarding this. They're two different ways of accessing databases. Roughly, ODBC is more standard, while Jet can give you better performances with MSAccess databases (it's the native way). HTH, Steve.

Also I read that most windows has already Microsof Jet drivers. So I think I only need to deploy database and my application and it will work. Am I right!? If you use ADO, then typically you need *nothing* to install. BCB needs ADO 2.5 and XP already has ADO 2.8. Even Win98 SE has the ADO already installed. Sometimes, on 2% of PC's, ADO is somehow damaged! Then you can suggest customers to download MDAC2.8 (mdac_typ) from Microsoft site, and apply it. Unfortunately, the mdac_typ.exe does not work with XP/SP2. Quote: Should I use ODBC drivers instead of Jet (what is the difference), please I need any suggestions regarding this. I'm newbie with ADO so I would really apprechiate any help or directions. Thanx. You may use ODBC, but you do not need to. Accessing DB's directly are more native to ADO. -- Best regards, Vladimir Stefanovic Back to top Tom Guest Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 1:16 pm    Post subject: Re: deploying application which uses ado table First I want to thank you both on your answers. I'll have two installations on my cd; one will be my application with database and other will be installation of MDAC in case ADO is somehow damaged on customers system so customer can install it from CD.
