   Win64 bit and Pdox7/32 and BDE 5.202

   Yesterday one of my cutonmers tried to install my application on Win 2003   
   server 64 bit.   
   My setup.exe (created with install shield for pdox 7) did not even start.   
      
   So i had to manually copy folders with my app, runtime and BDE and   
   import registry settings (this is my standard procedure for network setup   
   and I have   
   done it at least 200 times before).   
      
   But to my surprise, pdox did not start, and also BDE did not work properly.   
   BDE just forgot any change i made to it in bdeadmin32.exe. It also did not   
   update registry when I changed cfg file.   
      
   So I deleted everything and INSTALLED bde with bde52setup.exe.   
   There I checked "Support Win16 and Win32 BDE" and installed it.   
   After that it worked OK. I also noticed, that there is nothing in registry,   
   so I assume it uses some INI files or something??   
      
   Question: Is it OK to install BDE in this way or am I missing something?   
      
   Thx Jure
