If it does, I would still not recommend to leave it there because mixing the applications with thw BDE is likely to cause problems at some stage. If it works you would probably just need to change the location of the application and BDE. The BDE should be under C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Borland\BDE and the runtimes under C:\Program Files (x86)\dBASE\Plus9\Runtime. I cannot see the folder name, so I cannot say if this is the application folder or the BDE folder but I do see the application executable and that should never be in the same folder as the BDE. Did you create an Innoscript to create an installation program? if so, it would help if you copy the script here so we understand how those files are getting mixed together. Please mask any sensitive information before posting. The Inno script should have something like the following section ( {pf}=program files and {cf} = common files, while your app should be in {app} which can either be c:\dbaseapps or c:\program files(x86)\myapp): ; ----------------------------------------------------- ; Where the dBASE™ PLUS Runtime Engine will go: "C:\Program Files (x86)" if on ; 64-bit versions of Windows, or on 32-bit versions, "C:\Program Files"):              Name: "{pf}\dBASE\Plus\Runtime"; Permissions:  everyone-readexec; Flags: uninsneveruninstall;                           ; ----------------------------------------------------- ; Where the BDE will go:              Name: "{cf}\Borland\BDE"; Permissions:  everyone-full; Flags: uninsneveruninstall; *[Run]*              ; dBASE™ PLUS 11 -- parameter of /S seems to be the "silent" install              Filename:  {tmp}\PLUS1110Runtime-b2536_ALL.exe;Parameters:  "/S";Flags:  runascurrentuser waituntilterminated runhidden;Description:  "dBASE Runtime and BDE";StatusMsg:  "Installing dBASE Runtime and BDE...";WorkingDir:  {tmp}; and to put an icon on the desktop:   *[Icons] *              ; Application icon              Name:  "{group}\dBASE Tutorial";Filename:  "{app}\tutorial.exe";WorkingDir:  "{app}"                           ; Desktop icons:              Name:  "{userdesktop}\dBASE Tutorial";Filename:  "{app}\tutorial.exe";IconFilename:  "{app}\tutorial.exe";WorkingDir:  "{app}";Comment:  "dBASE Tutorial Application"; Cheers, Gaetano. -- Gaetano.
