Hi,

I've been deploying BDE by installing the BDE Information utility with my app which has the BDE 5.2 with it. However, today one of these BDE packages stopped working and when I unistalled and removed all registry keys and folders (borland shared) it still complains about "Conflicting application in memory. BDE is currently being used. Please close all applications using the BDE and etc..".

Has anyone had a similiar problem? How did you solve this? I already placed a few calls to Borland about this, and they only kept connecting me to a new doofus after another.. :/

I've even tried killing all processes that could even remotely be using BDE but nothing seems to work. Could I be missing any files or folders that could still keep me from installing BDE? In the words of this link, the problem is "very frustrating".
