(C++ Builder) Install error

 ?Error preventing the successfull installation of C++ Builder.

Below is a list of installation errors that might occur

Overview

• Cannot find [something].DLL
• Unable to find package import: [something].bpi
• [C++ Error] iostream(24): E2209 Unable to open include file 'stl/_prolog.h'
• The instruction at "0x4000685e" referenced at "0x01967a34". The memory could not be "read"
• Error 1311. Source file not found: D:\install\bcb_exe.cab. Verify that the file exists and that you can access it.
• Other errors

Cannot find [something].DLL

Find in the 'c:\Program Files\Borland\CBuilder6\' folder this .DLL file and also copy this one to C:\W32 [Note : On the new Windows XP systems, replace W32 with WINNT]

Unable to find package import: [something].bpi

Use 'Find' to find the package, then copy it to 'Cbuilder6/Lib'

[C++ Error] iostream(24): E2209 Unable to open include file 'stl/_prolog.h'

As a temporary work-around you could try adding the code below, before iostream is #included.

define  _USE_OLD_RW_STL

I found this error was caused because the folder /CBuilder6/Include/StlPort was empty. I could correct the error by copying the contents of folder /CBuilder6/Include/Stl to it.

The instruction at "0x4000685e" referenced at "0x01967a34". The memory could not be "read"

Delete the CBuilder6 folder (except for the Folder 'Projects') and reinstall.

Error 1311. Source file not found: D:\install\bcb_exe.cab. Verify that the file exists and that you can access it.

From http://support.borland.com/kbcategory.jspa?categoryID=90 :

Error 1311 typically indicates problems reading from the CD. 
This could be due to outdated CD-ROM drivers, a defective CD, etc. 
The solution is to copy the parts of the CD necessary for installation 
over to your hard drive, and install from there. Here are the standard
instructions for getting around Error 1311:
1) First, update your CD-ROM drivers to the latest version available, 
and then attempt a normal installation
If that does not work, then:
1) Copy the \Install folder from C++Builder 6 CD#1 over to the root C:\ 
of your hard drive
2) Copy the contents of the \Install folder from C++Builder 6 CD#2 into 
that same \Install folder on your hard drive (i.e. combine the contents of 
the \Install folders from CD#1 and CD#2 into a single \Install folder in C:\)
3) Temporarily close all applications, especially anti-virus software, you 
have running
4) Start the installation by running SETUP.EXE found inside the \Install
folder you copied over
Please note that these instructions are specifically for the Professional 
and Enterprise editions of C++Builder 6. If you have the Personal edition, 
everything will be the same, except you will only have one CD and 
therefore one \Install folder to copy over.
If the above procedure still fails, then another option is to copy over the 
entire contents of both CDs to your hard drive (make sure it is to the root 
C:\) and then run the installation from there. However, since this is more 
time-consuming, it is only recommended as a last resort.
