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

To conserve disk space, you can also perform a Custom


installation, selecting only the options you require.

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.
