InterBase Installation Info (and BDE Information Utility) – Shareware – Windows

The BDE Information Utility is a tool developed by InterBase to provide users with important installation information related to the Borland Database Engine (BDE) and its components. This utility can come in handy for troubleshooting purposes, as well as for obtaining general technical details about the BDE.

Before installing the BDE Information Utility, users should first make sure they have installed the BDE itself. The BDE is a software component that enables applications to interact with databases, so it is essential for the proper functioning of any database-dependent application. After successful installation of the BDE, the BDE Information Utility setup can be initiated.

The first step of the installation process is to accept the end-user agreement. The next window shows a welcome message with brief information about the installer. Users can choose the installation directory or leave it set to default. After that, they need to select the components to install - in this case, both the BDE Information Utility and its accompanying help files will be installed. Users can make any last-minute modifications to their choices before proceeding with the installation.

After completing the installation, users can launch the BDE Information Utility by navigating to "Start" on their Windows taskbar, then "Programs," "InterBase," and "BDE Information Utility." The program's interface contains three tabs: "Configuration," "System," and "BDE API." Each tab allows users to view different technical information related to the BDE and how it is functioning on their system.

The BDE Information Utility is a useful tool for anyone who works with databases and wants a better understanding of how they function on their system. Its easy-to-use interface and wealth of technical information make it a worthwhile addition to any database professional's toolkit.
