Installing BDE - including BDEAdmin

I'm trying to switch from InstallShield to InstallAware. But I keep running into problems installing BDE Pro (that includes the BDEAdmin). I'm using the InstallAware that came with Delphi 2009.

I want to install it in the same place it is on the delphi installation: viz C:\\Program files\\Common files\\Borland\\BDE

There used to be an MSM file. That no longer exists. So, how can I install the full BDE? I do that because things can go wrong with installations and, with BDEAdmin installed, I can usually walk the customer through fixing most of them.

Thanks

Alan

Problem solved. Use BDEPro.msm. From CodeGear. Add as merge module.
