Question and Answer Database FAQ3729C.txt Problem Installing BDE 5: "UninstallShield is in use" Category :Miscellaneous Platform :Windows NT Product : All32Bit Question: I downloaded the BDE 5 off of your website (the BDE5_EN.zip file). I then tried to run SETUP.EXE, but got the error: "Setup has detected that unInstallShield is in use. Please close unInstallShield and restart setup. Error 432." I'm running Windows NT. Answer: You have to have administrative rights on your NT machine. InstallShield tries to delete UNINST.EXE from the \WINNT directory (so that it can install the latest version). If you don t have the rights to do this, it will presume that unInstallShield is already running, and gives that message. 8/26/98 2:23:37 PM
