DbiOpenCfgInfoList problem

[TheCaptain]

I get an the error "An error occured while attempting to initialize the BDE" when I call DbiOpenCfgInfoList with the following parameters:

var
  hCur   : hDBICur;
  Path   : String;
  Temp   : Array[0..255] of Char;
begin
  Path := '\System\INIT\';

  Check(DbiOpenCfgInfoList(nil, dbiREADONLY, cfgPERSISTENT, StrPCopy(Temp, Path), hCur));
end;

The BDE is installed on this machine and I can access Paradox tables with no problem. Why am I getting this error?
