File not found: "\include\dBase runtime.inc"

Inno Setup 5.1.12 gives the following error when I try to compile an instalation
of an application.

The BDE installer seems to lie in C:\dBASE-Plus25-Installer\dBASEPLUS\Setup.exe.
If I try to get it to get the install-program from C:\program
files\dBase\plus\runtime (The dBase Book, p.704) I get an error message telling
me that this is not a BDE Installer. 

When compiling the dBase project file I get the error message "File not
found: "\Include\dbaseRuntime.inc" and line 44 (#include
"\Include\dbaseRuntime.inc") is marked as the error line.  

If the directory I use as the pointer to the runtime install program, where do I
find it? Or have I missed something?

I have copied the runtime install program (b1986) from the Plus 2.61 CD to the
..../plus/runtime/ directory.  This solved part of the problem.  The problem
with the include file that Inno compiler looks for but cannot find, stil exists.
 Where can this file be found?

The file "dbase runtime.inc" is not one that ships with dBASE. This
may 
be something that you need to install separately, or download. Johnny K. 
has been doing a lot of stuff to try to enhance the ability to deploy 
from the Project Explorer, but I don't use it. Instead I just go 
straight to Inno Setup and do my own stuff.

Hi,

after install ISG (Inno Setup Generator) this file also installed too...

See other thread for the download link ...

Thanks Jonny, that solved the problem.

Next question.  How many files can be accommodated in the ISS setup.  I have
about 3500 seperate data files for weather stations.  It seems that only some
can be included.  How does one distribute that number of files as part of an
install program?  Self-extracting WinZip? Winrar?  If so, How does one ensure
that the files end up in the correct directory? Can a WinZip or WinRar file be
included in the install program?
