Can anyone advise what other files do I need to include in my deployment program other than my .exe file? Also how do I ensure that my BDE settings are included?

Without knowing much about what software you're using:

You need the runtime installer, first (which can be downloaded from the
dBASE website:

https://www.dbase.com/support/updates-and-fixes/

Click the text that says:

dBASE(r) 2019.2 Runtimes

Then the red text that says:

All Runtime Engines (26.7 MB)

Download that file, and copy it to a place on your computer you can find.

Your installer will need to run this code, to install the BDE and the
runtime library on your client's computer(s).

As to the BDE settings, that is something you will need to look at the
installer's manual/help/whatever comes with it to explain things. Most
decent installer software has a way to set up registry settings and
more, and unfortunately I can't tell you specifics for your software.
