Have made some experience with installation of ODBC using Installshield.
Perhaps somebody could also use this information.
To automate an installation without additional using/distribution of the
original Runtime-disk, I need following entries:
Registry
========
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
ODBC
ODBCINST.INI
R:BASE Database Driver (*.rb1)
APILevel 2
ConnectFunctions YYY
CPTimeout
Driver
[SystemFolder]RB65_32.DLL
DriverODBCVer 02.50
FileExtns *.rb1
FileUsage 2
Setup
[SystemFolder]RB65INS.DLL
SQLLevel 1
UsageCount value as
used in your environment
ODBC Drivers
R:BASE Database Driver (*.rb1)
value=Installed
[WindowsFolder]ODBCINST.ini
===========================
[ODBC 32 bit Drivers]
R:BASE Database Driver (*.rb1) (32 bit)=Installed
[R:BASE Database Driver (*.rb1) (32 bit)]
Driver=[SystemFolder]RB65_32.DLL
Setup=[SystemFolder]RB65Ins.DLL
32Bit=1
File installation
=================
to [SystemFolder]
RB65_32.DLL
RB65Ins.DLL
to [WindowsFolder]
RB651.MSG
RB652.MSG
RB653.MSG
With this entries, the driver is correct installed and could recognized by
every Windows program.
FINAL REMARK
============
- Distribution only allowed if the enduser also get the license for RBase or
Runtime.
- Used environment: InstallShield Express 3.04, RBase 6.5++, Tested Clients:
WinXP & Win2K
- Razzak, perhaps you could add this information to the Runtime developer
documentation.
