I see these posts are old, but hopefully someone will find the following of use:
  I just installed Delphi XE over Delphi 7 on a Win7 (x64) machine, and had very similar problem; also had problems with the BDEAdmin.exe locking up whenever I'd try to load or save the BDE config file. After pounding away at it for about 6 hours, finally found the problem: The BDEAdmin.exe doesn't like path names that have a in them; it's that simple. So I solved the problem with the following:
  (a) Create a path named C:\Users\Public\Data\BDE
  (b) Move the IDAPI32.CFG file from it's original location (on my machine, it was C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Borland Shared\BDE) to the new directory.
  (c) Using RegEdit.exe, search through the entire registry for the key CONFIGFILE01 (it appears about 6 times), and change it's value to C:\Users\Public\Data\BDE\IDAPI32.CFG
