   we use dBase rather than Paradox but it was suggested that I try asking this   
   question here.  We've been struggling to get the BDE to work on 64 bit   
   Vista.  I can get it to work just fine on regular Vista by checking the   
   Win3.1 option (to make it store everything in a configuration file instead   
   of the registry) and making sure the data isn't in the program files   
   directory.  I'm having no similar luck on 64 bit.  I think I need to install   
   the BDE in a non-traditional location and set appropriate registry entries   
   but we haven't been able to get it to work.   
      
   has anyone here done it?   
      
   is there a particular installation program that knows how to touch all the   
   proper bases?  (we have an old version of Install Shield that came with   
   CBuilder3 and knows how to install the BDE but won't run on 64 bit, and a   
   version of InstallAware that came with CBuilder2007 which runs in 64 bit but   
   doesn't have a BDE option.  we tried having InstallAware copy the files and   
   leaving the registry entries to be set manually but that didn't seem to   
   work. maybe the registry must be set with an installation program or there   
   are non-obvious permissions that must be granted.  we're lost.   
      
   oh, if I'm asking in the wrong forum, please direct me to the proper place.
