Question and Answer Database FAQ1739D.txt '$2109 Cannot initalize the BDE' error when deploying InstallShield application Category :Install Issues Platform :All Product :Delphi 3.x Question: I get error $2109 "Cannot initalize the Borland Database Engine" when running an application deployed with InstallShield Express. What's wrong? Answer: A problem with either ISExpress or your setup configuration in ISExpress has caused the following entry to be left out of the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE|BORLAND|DATABASE ENGINE | DLLPATH. This entry is probably empty on the deployed machine's registry. Enter the path to IDAPI32.DLL (usually \borland\common files\bde) 7/16/98 4:31:28 PM
