SECTION 0 System Requirements
-----------------------------
B. Minimum Installation
-----------------------
A minimum installation of Borland C++ 5.02 includes
only the command line tools (no IDE), and provides the
ability to work within another editor and use the command
line compiler. This setup requires approximately 25 MB of
hard disk space with 16-bit DOS support.
C. Full Installation
--------------------
A full installation of Borland C++ 5.02 includes all
the tools available, the Windows-hosted IDE, and allows
development for 16-bit DOS, 16-bit Windows, and 32-bit Windows.
This is called the "Typical" install by the installation program,
and requires 230 MB of hard disk space.
Note: The exact amount of disk space required for installation may
vary due to disk cluster size on your PC.

E. Installation Procedure
-------------------------
IMPORTANT!
Do not install Borland C++ 5.02 over previously installed Borland C++
directories. The files in this distribution will not work with
previously shipped tools and libraries. This is particularly true
for configuration files from previous shipping releases, like
TDCONFIG.TDW and BCCONFIG.BCW.
We recommend that you do not install Borland C++ to a path that
contains spaces or long filenames because some 16-bit components do
not support long filenames.
To update from Version 4.5 or earlier, you need to delete the old
version of Borland C++ from your system before installing Version 5.02.
You also need to delete all references to outdated Help files from your
WINHELP.INI file in your WINDOWS directory. Also, if you have
WinRun in your startup group, unload it before installing
Borland C++ Version 5.02.

(where C:\BC5 is where you installed BC5)
OR
4. OWL.INI is installed.
5. The following files are created if they are not on the system or
modify them if they already exist:
TD.INI
WORKSHOP.INI
BCW5.INI
TDW.INI

*.SPX, *.CFG, *.BCW, *.DSW, *.MBT, *.MRT
Windows NT users should edit both WIN.INI and the system registry.
Launch REGEDT32.EXE. Choose the HKEY_CURRENT_USER window. Browse to

SECTION 2. Changing Your System Configuration
---------------------------------------------
Although Windows 95 and Windows NT are much more stable
than Windows 3.1, it is still recommended that you change
the configuration of your system if you encounter problems
when installing new software. Each operating system has
its own method, as follows.
------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 3. Troubleshooting Installation Error Messages
------------------------------------------------------
Problem (possibilities):
* The .pak file referenced in the error
message contains one or more files that already
exist on the system. These files are most
likely write protected, or the directory they
reside in is write protected, or the files
are in use by a currently running program.
* The .pak file is corrupted on the CD or
diskette.
* The installation engine is having difficulty
with the synchronization of the CD drive and
the rest of the machine.
Solutions:
* Remove the write protection and then try
continuing with the installation.
* Check the CD or diskette for any bad sectors,
and call the disk replacement phone number listed
at the end of this document if necessary.
* Attempt a hard drive installation as specified
in SECTION 1. Installation Notes.
* Close applications running in the background.
* Move the file(s) contained in that .pak file
out of the directory they are currently resident
in and into another, temporary directory.
Solutions:
* Check the disk for bad sectors and call the disk
replacement phone number listed at the end of this
document.
* Call the installation support number listed at the
end of this document for information about
attempting a manual installation of Borland C++ 5.02.
Solutions:
* Check the CD to ensure that the .pak file there
is not corrupted. If the CD has a bad sector or
track, call the disk replacement phone number
provided at the end of this document.
* If the CD is not damaged, attempt a hard drive
installation or attempt to slow the machine
down if it is encountering speed synchronization
problems with the hardware.
