Category   :Delphi 1.x
Platform   :All Windows
Product    :

Description:
   To manually install Delphi you should first copy the entire
run-image directory off of the CD-ROM onto you hard-drive. 
This is one of the main directories on the delphi CD-ROM. 
This includes copying all the files from the run-image\windows 
to your local  \windows directory and the  \windows\system files
into your \windows\system directory, UNLESS you have NT.      
If you have NT you will want to do as above, but do not 
overwrite any existing files.
   It is important that if you have another Borland DataBase 
product that you Z-copy the  \idapi directory from the run-image 
ONTO the existing \idapi directory on your computer.
   
   To manually install delphi you first need to add the 
following lines to your win.ini 
(this is all dependent on which drive/directory that
 you copied the run-image to):

   [IDAPI]
   DLLPATH=C:\IDAPI
   CONFIGFILE01=C:\IDAPI\IDAPI.CFG

   [Borland Language Drivers]
   LDPath=C:\IDAPI\LANGDRV


   [BWCC]
   BitmapLibrary=BWCC.DLL

   [Interbase]
   RootDirectory=C:\IBLOCAL

   [Paradox Engine]
   UserName=PxEngine
   NetNamePath=C:\
   RecBufs=64
   MaxLocks=64
   MaxFiles=64   
   SwapSize=64

   [DDE Servers]
   DBD=C:\DBD\DBD

   [DBD]
   WORKDIR=C:\DBD
   PRIVDIR=C:\DBD\DBDPRIV


   
You will also want to add the following lines to your 
autoexec.bat file:

   
   rem add the following if it they are not already present
   rem you only need share if using windows 3.1

   Share /f:4096 /l:40  
   path=%path%;c:\iblocal\bin;


These are once again dependent on the exact drive/directory 
that you 
copied the run-image to.

You will now want to download the file dlpgrp.zip from 
our download BBS or from the web site. 
This file will create the Icons and the Delphi Program Group.
