The ISS file created by the Project explorer is very large and convoluted, and hard to work through all the details. Are you using dBASE Plus 11? It's looking for that runtime installer, which should also install the BDE. If not, you have an issue there. The tutorial does this by ignoring the step of having the PE build the .iss file, and you doing it yourself. You may want to go to the build and deploy part of the tutorial, and use your own folder names, and file names ...
