- A Partial BDE install imposes the
- following limitations:

- running on your system you will receive
- the following error message on startup:

- "An Error occurred while attempting to
- initialize to Borland Database Engine
- (Error $210C)"
-
- If you have this error quit Paradox for
- Windows, dBASE for Windows, Delphi,
- Quattro Pro , ReportSmith and other
- programs using the Borland Database Engine.
-
- - A Partial BDE install must place BDE DLL
- files in your program's run directory.
-
- If you have already Borland Database Engine
- on your computer you will get the following
- message:
-
- "Setup has detected the Borland Database
- Engine (BDE) on this system. Continuing with
- setup will install a partial version of BDE
- in a different directory, which may cause
- problems when both versions of BDE are being
- used. We recommend that you contact the
- supplier of this application to obtain a full
- version of BDE compatible with this
- application. Continue with setup ? "
