Newbie needs some help here with Borland Builder 6 runtime & dbx driver

Joris · Post by **Joris** » Mon 05 Feb 2007 21:39

I have just written a Borland builder 6.0 application that runs just fine on my development machine. I have bought and installed "dbExpress driver for MS SQL Server Standard" and the components work just fine with both MS SQL Server 2000 and MS SQL Server 2005 environments. The driver rocks.

My problem now is how do I link the driver with Borland builder so that I can distribute my application? All the documentation seems to be for Delphi. I have tried adding both dbexpsda.dll and dbexpsda.dll to my project, hoping Borland would link it in, but that didn't work. I also tried to link dclcrdbx100.bpl, dclcrdbx90.bpl, dclcrdbx60.bpl, and that did not work either. What component am I supposed to add to my project? I do not want the customer running the Corelab executable, like I am...

I am packaging this app with InstallShield Express 12...

Help!

Only users of DbxSda professional version can embed dbExpress driver for MS SQL into the application directly. For applications written with Borland C++ Builder 6 and standard version of DbxSda, the only additional file required is dbexpsda.dll. So you have to deploy this file with your application.
