- DELPHI 2.0 TRIAL EDITION INSTALLATION NOTES
- ---------------------------------------------------
-
- IMPORTANT NOTICE:
- This is a Trial Edition which allows you to evaluate
- Borland's Delphi product. Although you might have received
- this Trial Edition as part of another Borland product,
- such as Borland C++, the use of this Trial Edition is
- governed by the TRIAL EDITION SOFTWARE LICENSE STATEMENT
- which is available for your review upon installation of the
- Trial Edition. Although you may use the Trial Edition to
- write and compile applications, the Trial Edition does not
- include any right to distribute those applications and does
- not include any redistributable files.
-
-
- ABOUT THE TRIAL EDITION
- -----------------------
- The Delphi 2.0 Trial Edition was created to allow you
- to evaluate Delphi to see for yourself
- the benefits of this high-performance, object-oriented,
- Rapid Application Development environment. You will
- be able to test all of the sample applications, as well
- as create your own applications. You can also create
- high-performance user interfaces for use with C++ as
- well as high-performance DLLs for use with Visual
- Basic and other tools.
-
- Be sure to consult the extensive information about
- Delphi provided in the \info directory in the CDROM
- package of the Trial Edition.
-
- The Trial Edition provides the functionality
- of the commercial version of Delphi 2.0, with
- these restrictions:
-
- - The trial period lasts 30 days, after which the
- software will not operate.
- - The Trial Edition will not operate after
- June 1, 1997.
- - Applications and DLLs compiled with the Trial
- Edition can be run only while the Delphi Trial
- Edition (the IDE) is also running.
- - This Trial Edition does not include the Database
- Desktop utility, used for graphically creating
- databases. With this Trial Edition, you can still
- access the provided sample databases, access your
- existing .db and .dbf files, and create new databases
- by issuing SQL statements in the Database Explorer.
- - The Windows API help systems from Microsoft are
- not included in the trial version, and as a result,
- the index entries and help jumps to those topics
- will not function. The full MS help is included
- in all commercial versions of Delphi 2.0.
-
- Once you've evaluated the Delphi Trial Edition,
- contact your local reseller, or Borland International
- to purchase a commercial release of Delphi
- Developer 2.0 or Delphi Client/Server Suite 2.0.
- More information about these products is available
- at www.borland.com.

-
- ----------------------------------------
- 1. Minimum System Requirements
- ----------------------------------------
- Delphi 2.0 requires Windows 95, Windows NT 3.51 or a 100%
- compatible operating system, an 80486 or better processor, and
- 8Mb of system memory. An install requires approximately 30
- Mbytes plus an additional 10 megabytes of temporary storage
- during the installation. You can also perform a Custom
- installation selecting only those options you require
- for the smallest possible disk space.
-
- Delphi 2.0 has been tested under Windows 95 and Windows NT 3.51.
-
-
- ----------------------------------------
- 2. Installing Delphi 2.0 Trial Edition
- ----------------------------------------
- To install Delphi 2.0 from the CD-ROM, run SETUP.EXE program.
- This can be run on either Windows 95 or on Windows NT 3.51.
-
- By default, Delphi 2.0 Trial Edition installs into the
- \PROGRAM FILES\BORLAND\DELPHI 2.0 TRIAL EDITION directory.
- This INSTALL file and all other documentation assume
- you have used the default directory structure.
-
- If you install Delphi 2.0 to a different location, do not
- unintentionally install over any previous Delphi release.
-
- NOTE: Do NOT install this trial edition if you already have
- Delphi 2.0 installed on your system. The Trial Edition is
- a subset of Delphi 2.0 functionality.
-
-
- ----------------------------------------
- 6. Un-installing Delphi 2.0
- ----------------------------------------
- To remove Delphi 2.0 from your computer using Windows 95:
-
- 1. Open the Control Panel folder
- 2. Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon
- 3. Select Delphi 2.0 Trial Edition from the list display
- 4. Click the Add/Remove button
- 5. Click the Yes button to remove the software and all related files
-
- In accordance with Microsoft un-install conventions, the
- un-install program will ask before removing any shared files such
- as those related to the Borland Database Engine (BDE) and to OCX
- controls.
-
- To remove Delphi 2.0 from your computer using Windows NT 3.51:
-
- 1. Open the Delphi Program Group
- 2. Double-click the Un-install Delphi 2.0 icon
- 3. Click the Yes button to remove the software and all related files
-
- If you run Delphi setup more than once, un-install will
- "remember" only the last-installed Delphi components. For
- example, if you choose not to install the help files during your
- first setup and run setup again selecting only the help files
- option, then when you later choose to un-install Delphi, only the
- help files will be un-installed.
-
-
- ----------------------------------------
- 7. Installation Notes
- ----------------------------------------
-
- o In the Set Directories dialog, the Browse button displays a
- Choose Directory dialog that allows you to select a root
- directory where all your files will be installed. On some
- systems, browsing to a drive other than C:\ will give an
- erroneous message indicating that the drive is not available.
- When this happens, simply type in the pathname directly and the
- drive will be recognized.
-
- o Setup automatically sets the target directory for the Borland
- Database Engine (BDE) to the location of any existing BDE. If you
- use the Choose Directory dialog to move the base Delphi 2.0
- directory to another location and you already have BDE installed,
- we recommend resetting your BDE target directory to that of your
- currently-installed BDE.
