ODBC install

[NewsArchive]

[Tuesday, April 12, 2005 12:19 AM]

When in "display configuration screens" mode, the installer that finds
missing dlls (or whatever its looking for) issues a message saying that it
cannot proceed.

When that "display config" box is unchecked, no message is displayed, even
though the ODBC data source install failed due to whatever caused the above
message.

Not sure if thats the desired effect or not, but FYI regardless.

We are talking about installing an ODBC data source, not the driver - just
in case my previous message was confusing.

MyODBC is working fine on this machine, yet I get a message saying "The
Setup Routines for the MYSQL odbc driverf could not be found, please
install the driver".

I have the current driver (3.5.11), it is recently installed (a week or 2
ago) and it works great in clarion, the Win control panel, database
workbench, fabforce and elsewhere.

What am I missing?

Mark,

The ODBC message comes from Windows, not the installer. Could you please
send me your script?

Thanks,
Friedrich

Mark,

Your Driver Name is incorrect!

Please change it to: MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver

Does this help?

Yep, that takes care of my problem but it doesnt resolve what I reported<g>

My primary concern was whether it was correct that no error message is
displayed when that box is unchecked. If thats correct, then there is no
report, I just wasnt sure if that was by design or not.

Mark,

<g>

The SB5 installer does not display any ODBC error message (box). The error
message box (if any) comes from Windows.

You can check the return code in your script:

> Return Values
>
> If the function succeeds, the %_SB_ERRORCODE% return value is nonzero.
>
> If the function fails, the return value is zero.

Does this help?
