Under NT 4.0, with Builder 3.0, I installed 3.3.3. Immediately afterward, I checked the registry. The key which should have read "C:\Program Files\Borland\Cbuilder3\Lib\doa.bpl" was actually named "Wintypes=Windows;WinProcs=Windows;DbiTypes=BDE;DbiProcs=BDE;DbiErrs=BDE\doa.bpl". The string "Wintypes=Windows;WinProcs=Windows;DbiTypes=BDE;DbiProcs=BDE;DbiErrs=BDE" does appear later in the registry. I suspect some kind of buffer/pointer overrun in the installation program. Just as a test, I tried to install 3.3.3 under Windows 98, and it seems to have worked just fine.
Installation bug in 3.3.3??

It could also be that your installation is slightly messed up. Could you check the RootDir value in the following registry section:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Borland\C++Builder\3.0
This value should be the C++Builder root directory. If somehow this contains the unit alias list, it would explain things.
