DBENGINE – 16 bit

Question:
I need to use the BDE in a Windows 3.11 environment. My Delphi 1 system does not include BDEINST material, although the help files refer to it. How can I simply install a 16 bit BDE on Windows 3.11? My current BDE files are 32 bit and have been updated via Internet updates.

Answer:
Look on your Delphi CD. There should be a distribution directory of some sort on it. In that directory, you’ll find all you need to distribute BDE applications for Win16.
