BV Version 7 - Download
Current version: BV 7.6
BV Version 7 is designed for Windows 98SE, ME, 2000 and XP. It is important to read and follow these instructions before you download.
BV requires a BDE (Borland Database Engine) installation on your computer. BV will not run without the BDE! The BDE is a set of database drivers and includes an administration program. See the instructions on the bottom of this page how to download and install the BDE.

BDE (Borland Database Engine)
Filename Size Description
bde_setup.exe 3855 kB BDE 5.0 installation progrem
The BDE installation is necessary only once. The BDE version needs to be at least 5.0!
Users of BV Version 6 have usually BDE version 3.5 installed. If you want to upgrade to BV Version 7, you MUST upgrade your BDE installation to 5.0 - otherwise BV7 will not work! The upgrade will not overwrite your existing configuration and is compatible with BV6.
Save the file in a temporary folder on your hard disk (for example in C:\temp).
If you are having problems with the download, please use the alternative link.
When the download is finished, double-click on the file bde_setup in your temporary folder to start the installation of the BDE. Follow the instructions in the setup program. It is recommended to install it in the program folder C:\Program Files\BDE.
With BV Version 7, the BDE does not have to be set up any more.
BV Version 6 to 7 Upgrade
Since the formats of the logs and layout files have changed, I have provided the upgrade program BV6to7. The program is packed in a ZIP file. Click here to start the download of the ZIP file. The file size is 590 kB.
When the download is finished, double-click on the file bv6to7.zip, unzip the file anywhere using an unzip program, for example WinZip. Run the extracted program BV6to7, after you have installed BV Version 7. It is self-explaining. You can convert all your label layouts, program settings and all or only particular log files.
BV Version 6
Development on BV Version 6 is finished but still available here for download.
