ODBC New DSN not working

[jlouden]

I am using Installaware 18. I am trying to add an ODBC DSN in my installation. I use the NEW dialog and use an existing DSN to create the entry Then I create the install file. I delete the DSN on the system and then do the install. No DSN gets created. The log file shows that is doing the ODBC creation but nothing gets added. I also get no errors during the installation or in the Event Viewer. I tried the same things with the trail version of X6 but got the same results.

Dear Jlouden,

please have a look at the "ODBC sample" from the following link.

Hope this helps you.

When I try your example I get an error because I do not have the resource installed.

I have 4 DSNs trying to be created in my test. Here is the log file and the project.

I do not get an errors when I run it.

I removed the two DSN entries from the sample file and installed my own. Now I get an error 6.

I have also attached the DSN creation screen. I used the Microsoft ODBC to create the DSN, referenced it in the installer. Created my installation file. Removed the ODBC reference in Windows and then ran the installation file and received the error.

Dear John,

I have just updated the "ODBC sample" and this now creates an Access ODBC DSN. It works perfectly on my test machine.

Please note that as recommended with the original project, to run the sample successfully, please verify the presence of the following requirements with the target system;

- Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable

Hope this helps you.
