I must also confess, I have not tried this with an USB disk, just put it together in 30 minutes to see, if it could be done. |
it can be done.. (g).. and I'm not gonna be the one to find out, because I
have no need for it, myself..
however, if a long-term, trusted developer tries it, and likes it, I've got
no problem promoting it, and putting the files on my downloads page..

Are you so affraid, you don't want even open my ZIP file? ;-) Well, there is one bat file, which tries to determin drive letter for USB disk and then import appropriate registry settings and at the end runs paradox. If you try this, and import some registry settings, your paradox might stop working. All reg files just change path to BDE folder and write this settings: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Borland\BLW32] "BLAPIPATH"="x:\\myapp\\BDE" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Borland\Database Engine] "DLLPATH"="x:\\myapp\\BDE" "CONFIGFILE01"="x:\\myapp\\lock\\idapi32.cfg" "RESOURCE"="0009" "SaveConfig"="WIN32" "UseCount"="4" I must also confess, I have not tried this with an USB disk, just put it together in 30 minutes to see, if it could be done. Jure I agree.. well, the guy posted a zip with some stuff in it.. are you gonna be the volunteer to see if it works? |

by another application then trouble is heading your way. Think about it,
this is not a good idea at all - once the device is unplugged you are gone.
So if you intend to use this method for a demo which then stuffs the
end-users machine up - guess what, No Sale and a Bad Reputation as well.
Truely I get fed up with developers thinking they are the only ones using
the BDE. I really hate stuff that goes in and messes around with the
registry. My golden rule is that if you have to mess with the Registry then
you are doing it wrong or to put it more bluntly - Don't Do IT !!
