SetupBuilder 8

[NewsArchive]

When will SetupBuilder 8 be released? I am in desparate need for 64 bit
ODBC support. If anyone knows how to create a 64 bit ODBC data source
for a client workstation in Clarion or otherwise, please let me know.
TIA

Hi Darrel,

If you just mean how to do it manually (ie not via code)

I haven't done this, but years ago I created 32bit ODBC data sources by just
creating the settings in the registry for it. For whatever reason I had a
problem with creating it using SB so I used SB instead to update the
registry. Been using that code for 6 years without problems, never changed
it to use the "Create ODBC data source";)

Best regards,

Arnor - I am trying to create the registry settings for the ODBC data
source. I have tried using the edit registry function and the Registry
option in the right pane but no luck. What functions do you use to set
up your ODBCs?

Never mind - I was running in 'Test' instead of really running it -

Did this registry hack work and so you don't need a pre-build of the Win64
ODBC interface?

We do not have a release date for SetupBuilder 8 to announce yet. But more
than 120 fixes and enhancements already made it from SB8 into SB7.4 and
SB7.5 (backported).

Unfortunately, the new native 64-bit enhancements for "ODBC", "Services",
and "Active Application Detection/Termination" can't be backported because
the required 64-bit interface is exclusive to SB8.

As I understand it, you only have to "create" 64-bit ODBC Data Sources,
correct? We can try to develop a limited interface for you that can be used
in the upcoming SB7.5 to create a 64-bit ODBC Data Source with native 64-bit
APIs.

Graham and Arnor - thanks for the replies. Friedrich - I have attached
a screen shot of my Configure ODBC command. This is all I need.
Thanks.

OK - I guess I do not know how to attach a .jpg or .png file so
Friedrich here is my Configure ODBC command:
Data Source Name = %CLIENT_ID%
Driver Name = Pervasive ODBC Client Interface
Data Source Attributes =
Driver=Pervasive ODBC CLient Interface
DBQ=%CLIENT_ID%
ServerDSN=%CLIENT_ID%
OpenMode=0
TransportHint=TCP
ServerName=%PERVASIVE_SERVER%
PvTranslate=

System DSN is checked

Okay. I'll see what we can do.
