A: A problem with either ISExpress or your setup configuration in ISExpress has caused the following entry to be left out of the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE|BORLAND|DATABASE ENGINE | DLLPATH. This entry is probably empty on the deployed machine's registry. Enter the path to IDAPI32.DLL (usually \borland\common files\bde).

A: When installing the RzLstpck.dpc file, Component | "Install Packages..." | "Add...", make sure to click the "Directories..." button and set the correct System entry to the correct location of your Windows\System directory.

A: This is actually a problem with some Dell machines. The problem is associated with Dell Pentium Pro machines with NT 4.0 pre-installed. There is a setting in the registry that is modified so that Dell can load up an explorer extension.
Workaround:

1. Run Regedit
2. Modify the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon\Shell
   Originally this will say: Explorer.exe userhook.???
   
3. Modify the key to say: Explorer.exe
4. Reboot the machine

This is documented on InstallShield's website and it is not a problem in the IB install. Its actually a problem in InstallShield.
