Recently I had to install the BDE (Borland Database Engine) for an old software.
There's a stand-alone BDE updater named bde511en.exe, which is available from this page. Note that you'll have to scroll till the bottom of the page. However, this one is good only if you already have some older version of BDE. You may have it installed with some old installer of BDE-enabled application.
If You want to install BDE on the fresh machine, BDEInfoSetup.zip will help. It is available from here. It will install you BDE version 5.2, the last one at the moment. Theoretically, it is possible to check updater page if some new versions are available, however, since BDE is not developed any more, this will probably be of no help. After install, you may need to run bdeadmin.exe to set up aliases. BDEadmin should be available here:
"c:\Program Files\Borland\Common Files\BDE\BDEADMIN.EXE"
Also, at about.com there's a paper on how to install BDE manually. I've never tried it, actually, as long as the internet is available and installer is accessible online, but it could help in some situation, i guess.
