G'Day Netlooney,
Have you seen this thread?
http://itninja.com/question/altiris-66&mpage=1&key=砳
I gave the directory BDE_INSTALL_PATH write permissions in my package and used AS to run a wisescipt to copy my idapi32 to my chosen location in the Common Files folder.
Hope this helps.
Regards Wayne

ORIGINAL: netloonyWayne's advice is spot-on. I'm willing to bet that a search of AppDeploy for 'BDE' would have turned up the same advice.

Also, as ever, ProcMon would have shown you the EXE trying to write to the configuration file and getting 'ACCESS DENIED'.

Nope,
Setting rights for the user in the package doens't do the trick. still getting the 'Unable to merge new configuration' error as user.
ProcMon doesn't show an AccesDenied on the executable because this is a CA from within the MSI that causes the problem so the only thing you see in ProcMon is the Msiexec.

ORIGINAL: netloonyHardly surprising, since that's not where the problem is :)

You want to monitor the EXE which the CA calls, i.e. BDEConfig.EXE. Set PM to *ignore* MSIExec.EXE. When PM has done its stuff, search the output for IDAPI.CFG. It's *this* file causing the problem.

Seems like have solved the problem..
user needs also rights in the regstry.. (HKLM\Software\Borland)
Going to test this now, come back to you later with the test results...
