- 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
-
-
- Custom Installation
- -------------------
- To conserve disk space, you can perform a Custom
- installation, selecting only the options you require.
-
- If you are installing Delphi Client/Server and you plan
- to use the TMIDASConnection component, you must install
- the Internet Controls package.
-
-
- 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.
