When building aan exe with the project manager I get this message. Have created an ini file with reference to the BDE Alias and included it in the project file. Have also included idap32.dll from BDE map, idapi.cfg, Plus_en.dll, PlusT_EN.dll, Resource.dll and Plusrun.exe. The exe is working fine on the same computer. All files are included in the executable.

Sorry but I don't understand...How do I install the BDE along with the runtime? > Download the runtime installer (which includes the BDE) from the dBASE website, if you haven't: https://www.dbase.com/support/updates-and-fixes/ And use the "All Runtime Engines" ... Copy or move the file to a folder such as C:\Program Files (x86)\dBASE\dBASE2019\Runtime Using the Project Manager you should see on the various tabs options to install the BDE. You can also use my books and the chapters on deploying applications ...
