Once you extract it to that folder, it is installed. Look for the readme file, because i think you have to edit a few things, but thats it!

(i am assuming that you are talking about the free command like tools)

Really confused!

Try looking for the other thread thats about the exact same subject.

In your bcc55\bin directory, create two files.

Name one of them 'bcc32.cfg'(without the quotes).
and add this to it:

-I"c:\Borland\Bcc55\include"
-L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib"

create another called 'ilink32.cfg',
and add this to it:

-L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib"

Now, create a new C++ file. (test.cpp)

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout << "Testing..." << endl;
    getch();
    return(0);
}

Then, open up a Console window, and type:

C:\WINDOWS>cd ..\borland\bcc55\bin
C:\Borland\BCC55\Bin>bcc32 test.cpp
<compiler output>
C:\Borland\BCC55\Bin>test.exe
<program output>
