Re: setup a ODBC text file driver

Well I've find another way to implement the ODBC in Setbuilder so this works for us. BUT i see your point, I know it is not SB5. why though if I ADD the ODBC text driver and set it up in the ODBC System DSN I don't get any errors and I can use that connection in our applications. i see that their might be some DLLS that Setbuilder or Native Windows uses to set it up when doing it in a install that are not up-to-date or whatever. I can't find really a solution though to it so I went this registry coding route and it works. The TEXT Odbc driver is registered in windows as default it is just setting up the Data Source where there is the problem. If I can get time I will go back and see if I can do the CONFIGURE DATA SOURCE in SB5 and get it to work.

Here another Question. Do I need to click the ODBC tab and insert TEXT driver there and ALSO go to the Script and add the CONFIGURE DATA SOURCE script? Or is the ODBC tab do it all for you? (along with adding the right parameters in the Data source attributes box??

Sorry for all the questions..... still kind of learning! :-)

SetupBuilder provides an interface to (native Windows) ODBC setup procedures. If the Windows procedure reports an error then there is a problem somewhere. BTW, this is not a SetupBuilder 5 bug!

Re: setup a ODBC text file driver

Friedrich, well I got it to work. didn't use the ODBC tab in setupbuilder. I used registry settings to set it up. I set it up by hand in ODBC admin then went to RedEdit and exported the stuff into a .reg file and then in SB5 just imported that reg file. Worked like a charm!!! I can post if you are interest in the reg code.

thanks for the help though, Clint

Re: setup a ODBC text file driver

Well I can reigster and install it via the ODBC administrator though under control panel, just don't work with the setup in setupbuilder. Do you know where to get the ODBC driver manual ?? Thanks.

Perhaps you did not "self-register" some of the required dependency files? Or one or more dependency files are missing?

I really think the ODBC Text Driver manual can help here.

Re: setup a ODBC text file driver

No help at all.... I did try to update that DLL with a newer version but I still get the same error. I will have to keep digging on the internet to see how to fix it. If you come across anything let me know. my email is clint.carbaugh@figis.com

thanks Friedrich,

Re: setup a ODBC text file driver

Hi Friedrich,

Ok getting closer.... now I am trying an install on a new PC and this is the error I get. What does this mean?

"the setup routines for the Microsoft Text Driver ODBC driver could not be found. Please reinstall the driver.

Any suggestions? thanks again.
