* 80 to 175 MB of free hard disk space (195 for the
Client/Server Suite), subject to the
installation options you choose and cluster
size.
B. Compact Installation
-----------------------
A minimum installation of Borland C++Builder includes
Borland C++Builder, as well as the Borland Database
Engine, and is called the "Compact" install by the
installation program. It does not include the Database
Desktop, Local InterBase, or SQL Links. A compact installation
of Borland C++Builder will take approximately 80 MB of
hard disk space. To perform a compact installation, choose
the "Compact" installation option on the installation options
page.
C. Full Installation
--------------------
A full installation of C++Builder includes all
the tools available, the Windows-hosted IDE, and allows
development for 32-bit Windows. This is called the "Full"
install by the installation program, and requires
approximately 125 MB of hard disk space.
D. Installation Conflicts
-------------------------
To avoid potential conflicts when Setup installs system files, we
recommend that you close down all other running applications before
installing Borland C++Builder. To get a listing of applications running
on your machine, either:
-under Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0
look at your toolbar that the Start button is located on,
OR
press Ctrl-Alt-Delete (once) and look at your Close Program
list (press cancel to exit the list).
-under Windows NT 3.51
double click on the background (behind Program Manager).
This will bring up the Task List (press cancel to exit
the list).
E. Starting Product Installations
----------------------------------
1) To install Borland C++Builder from the CD, run \SETUP\CBUILDER\SETUP.EXE.
2) To install Local InterBase, run \SETUP\LOCALIB\DISK1\SETUP.EXE

SECTION 1. Installation Notes
-----------------------------
A. Known Installation Issues
----------------------------
1. Installation sometimes gives misleading "out of disk space"
error message.
If you install Borland C++Builder on a drive other than
the drive on which Windows resides, check to be
sure that you have more than 12 MB of disk
space free on your Windows drive (usually C:). Otherwise,
it is possible that the installation program will report
that you have run out of disk space. This usually does not
mean that you ran out of space on the drive on which
you are installing Borland C++Builder. It usually means that
you ran out of space on the Windows drive, because C++Builder
must install several files into the Windows directory structure.
Also note: If you install separate components on different drives
on your machine, the disk space reported per drive and
for each component may be incorrect. You should manually
ensure that you have enough disk space for each component
before installing them.
2. Install program unable to create groups with certain characters
In the installation, when you get to the page where you can
specify the name of the program group you want to be created,
you cannot include parenthesis '(' and ')' or commas ',' in the
group name.
3. Problems Using Symantec's Norton Navigator
If you have Symantec's Norton Desktop for Windows 95 installed,
and you launch \SETUP.EXE from the Navigator, you will see the
Borland C++Builder installation begin, but instead of the
installation showing up on the desktop, it will be viewable
through the main view only. The installation is still running,
but it is just not visible on the desktop.
4. Non-standard ASCII characters not allowed in installation path.
Non-standard alphanumeric characters (such as characters with
accents, tildes, etc.) are not permitted as possible characters
in the path that you install Borland C++Builder.
5. Cannot install while uninstall running.
If you attempt to run \SETUP.EXE while a copy of the uninstall
program is running you will receive errors. DO NOT run the
installation program while there is a copy of the uninstall
running. If you're not sure if there is a copy of the uninstall
running, follow the instructions in Section 0 D to determine
what is running on your machine before running \SETUP.EXE.
B. Hard Drive Installation
--------------------------
Installing from a CD-ROM may cause synchronization
difficulties between various pieces of hardware or certain
hardware drivers. If you suspect that your CD-ROM drive or your
CD-ROM driver might be at fault, you can attempt a hard drive
installation.
To begin, copy the entire setup directory into a
temporary directory on your C:\ drive. The setup directory
contains all the files needed for the installation.
Once these have been successfully copied, remove the CD-ROM
driver from your system configuration by clean-booting, and
attempt to install the product.
When running the install, remember to change the SOURCE
directory so that it points to the temporary directory.
C. Files Changed During Installation
------------------------------------
(TBD)
D. Files Available on the CD
----------------------------
Most of the files installed in your target directory by the SETUP.EXE program are on the distribution CD in the CBUILDER directory. You must use SETUP.EXE to install C++Builder, but you can copy files from this directory tree on the CD if any files are lost or damaged during or after installation.
---------------------------------------------
SECTION 2. Changing Your System Configuration
---------------------------------------------
It is recommended that you change
the configuration of your system if you encounter problems
when installing new software. Windows 95 and Windows NT
each has its own method, as follows.
A. Safe Mode Boot under Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0
