Borland Database Engine (BDE)

Post by pmjm »

Hi all,

I'm on MacOS. Trying to build a wrapper around a Win32 app that uses an internal database and it's crashing on launch. I've traced the problem down to the Borland Database Engine (BDE) failing to install/run correctly.

I get "An error occurred while attempting to initialize the Borland Database Engine (error $2108)"

I also downloaded a standalone BDE installer and test utility from this page: http://nknabe.dk/database/bde/index.htm and the test utility correctly detects the BDE registry entries but crashes on db initialization.

A google search shows problems with BDE and Wine throughout the years but no definitive solution. Does anyone have any idea on how to get BDE to work?
