InstallAware

Hello
I try to install the MySQL ODBC driver for Win 64bit.

Install ODBC Driver D:\Sources\myodbc\64bit\lib\myodbc5.dll as MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver
The driver.dll is
D:\Sources\myodbc\64bit\lib\myodbc5.dll
the setup dll is:
D:\Sources\myodbc\64bit\lib\myodbc5S.dll
Attributes are:
DRIVER=myodbc5.dll
SETUP=myodbc5S.dll

When installing there is an ODBC driver installation error (system errorcode 193)

Any idea why not working on 64 bit windows?

regards
Hans

I have seen now that the ODBC driver and all registry settings will be done in the Wow6432Node .

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver

But why? For the 4 bit driver this should be the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver

Why does IA use this Wow6432Node in 64bit?

I check if system is 64bit

if Variable OS64BIT Equals FALSE
... do 32 bit ODBC installation
else
Install ODBC Driver D:\Sources\myodbc\64bit\lib\myodbc5.dll as MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver
MessageBox: ODBC 64bit, Installing ODBC for 64bit to $NEWLINE$$NEWLINE$$PROGDIR$\myodbc

Write Registry Key HKLM\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\Test\Driver, $PROGDIR$\myodbc\myodbc5.dll
end

You see, I use the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI but it will be installed into
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver

what happens

Hi,

Please try setting the installer to 64 bit by calling the Set 64 Bit Mode command - does that fix the issue?

Hi Giaviv,

<<Please try setting the installer to 64 bit by calling the Set 64 Bit Mode command

I do this at the beginning of the IA script. First of all I check which Operating system and if 32bit or 64bit
If 64bit = true
then I do a Set x64 command.
Is this not enough to do this once? Do I need to do a Set x64 command twice before writing to registry?

regards

Hi,

In that case, please try setting 32 bit mode before - does that help?

Why setting 32 bit mode?

I now had success when I do an additional Set x64 command before Write Registry
The the correct registry is used.

But, at the beginning of the setup I do a Set x64
..
If 64bit = true
Set x64
..

Why is this not enough for the complete setup?

Hi,

That's fine - as long as it works as you want it to!
