BDE Support for Delphi 10.4.2

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I recently installed the BDE components for Delphi 10.4.2 to test an abswer I was writing on StackOverflow.

 

Then, a couple of days ago, a failed Windows bios update meant that I had to re-install Windows (and Delphi) from scratch.   I couldn't immediately find the BDEInst.Exe I'd used to install BDE support (TTable. TQuery, etc) and googling around only led me to a couple of links to installing  BDE support from the XE7 era and there is no BDE Installer for 10.4.2 in the "My Registered Products" section of the Idera website.

 

Fortunately, I found the BDEInst.Exe I needed in the Downloads section of my profile under C:\Windows.Old.  But, and I realise this might seem a slightly strange question, could somebody "remind" me please where I might have downloaded it from?

 

TIA, Martyn

Thanks but ...

 

The only 10.4.2 product I see listed there is "RAD Studio Architect"; its components are listed as including "Delphi 10.4 Sydney Architect" but it says nothing about the BDE.  When I installed it, I immediately installed 10.4.2 from GetIt over it, and that definitely didn't include the dclBDE270.Bpl which is the package which includes Ttable and TQuery.

 

The mystery (tp me) is that when I originally installed 10.2.4 I must have found BDEInst.Exe somewhere, because that's what installs dclBDE270.Bpl, but I just can't find where I could have got it from.  Which is what I'm asking ...

hi @Martyn Ayers

 

  • normally, the GetIt download the ZIP file on USERS\Public\...\Embarcadero\CatalogRepository  <-- see if the zip that contains the BDE install and just unzip and try install it yourself!
  • normally, the BDE is not automatically installed on IDE, try found the "dcl*.bpl" in your "Programs Files x86"

 

if you have the installer, as you said, then you are with luck!

now, just follow:

  1. menu Components -> install packages
  2. find the "dclbde270.bpl and dclnetbde270.bpl" on ..\BIN folder of your RAD Studio!
  3. it's ready!

 

NOTE: the BDE installer for RAD Studio 10.4.x Sydney was found on Code Central by Embarcadero  cc.embarcadero.com but if not, then, the Embarcadero remove it! ---> deprecated for long time! 

https://cc.embarcadero.com/Item/XXXXX   (item number) 

---> https://cc.embarcadero.com/results.aspx?keywords=bde

 

as: 

https://cc.embarcadero.com/Item/30752 -> BDE for RAD Studio Tokyo
http://cc.embarcadero.com/Item/30868  -> BDE for RAD Studio RIO

 

Another way is contact your support and ask the link!

There is BDE for RAD Studio 20.4 27.4MB 2020-05-28.

Hi.

 

Many thanks for that.  Because Delphi 10.4.2 required a complete re-install, I had assumed that there would need to be a 10.4.2-specific BDE install, but apparently not, because the BDE installer you referenced works fine.
