Probado y funciona con delphi 6 Enterprise.

se instala en C:\Archivos de programa\Borland\BDEMERGEMODULE y en esa carpeta trae un archivo MSM (para incluirlo en el installshield), y un pequeño programa para crear los alias. Tambien se crea un archivo readme con la siguiente información:

INTRODUCTION

The BDE Merge Module supports deployment of BDE-based applications using
the Microsoft Windows Installer service. The BDE Merge Module
contains all of the BDE files, along with registry and configuration
information needed to install those files.

The BDE Merge Module can be used with any setup authoring tool that
supports the Installer service, including InstallShield for Windows
Installer (version 1.10 or higher), Wise for Windows Installer, and the
Microsoft Visual Studio Installer. For more information, see:

______________________
BDE MERGE MODULE FILES

The BDE Merge Module install package verifies that a compatible version
of Delphi or C++Builder is already installed.

The Professional Version is compatible with Delphi Professional and
C++Builder Professional. The Enterprise Version is compatible with
Delphi Enterprise, Delphi Client/Server Suite, C++Builder Client/Server
Suite, and C++Builder Enterprise. Compatible Delphi versions are 2, 3,
4, and 5. Compatible C++Builder versions are 1, 3, 4, and 5.

The install package creates a BDE Merge Module directory. By default,
this is C:\Program Files\Borland\BDE Merge Module. This directory
contains the following files.

* This README.TXT.

* The Merge Module Wizard: BDEMMCFG.EXE.

* The Merge Module itself: BDE_PRO.MSM (Professional Version) or
BDE_ENT.MSM (Enterprise Version).

__________________________
USING THE BDE MERGE MODULE

Follow these steps to incorporate the BDE Merge Module in your project:

1. Copy BDE_PRO.MSM or BDE_ENT.MSM into the Merge Module directory
used by your setup authoring tool.

2. Add a feature called "BDE" to your project.

3. Specify the BDE Merge Module as a component for the BDE feature.

4. Build the .MSI file.

5. Use the BDE Merge Module Wizard (BDEMMCFG.EXE) to define the
drivers and aliases to be deployed. You can choose BDE aliases,
or deploy drivers without aliases by choosing them from an option list.
This information is stored in a BDEMERGE.INI file which must be
distributed with the .MSI file.

A mi me suena que es para automatizar el proceso de creacion de alias y demás con el installshield, realmente no sé si instala el BDE (porque mi máquina ya lo tenia instalado), sería conveniente instalarlo en una máquina limpia.

Por otra parte, si a Roman le ha dicho que delphi no está instalado.... sugiere que no es lo que Alfonso Castill necesita
