ODE97: ODBC Desktop Database Drivers Needed by ODE Setup Wizard

• Microsoft Office 97 Developer Edition Tools

SUMMARY

Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

If you are creating a custom Setup program for your application using the Microsoft Office 97 Developer Edition Tools (ODE) Setup Wizard, and you include the ODBC components on the "You may now add redistributable Microsoft Office, Microsoft Jet, and ODBC components to your custom Setup program" screen, you must be certain that all the files needed for the added components are included in the Setup Wizard program.

This article lists the files that are required by the ODBC Desktop Database Drivers included in the Microsoft Office 97, Professional Edition. Some files are included automatically. Some files are required by more than one component. You must include these files when you run the Microsoft Office 97 Developer Edition Tools (ODE) Setup Wizard if they are not automatically included.

MORE INFORMATION

For certain components that you add to the Setup Wizard program, all necessary files are added automatically as long as Setup can find them on your computer. For other components that you add to the Setup Wizard program, you will need to add the files specific to those components using the "Add the files that you want your custom Setup program to copy and then set properties for each file" dialog box.

For example, if you plan to include the ODBC Support with SQL Server component in your custom Setup program, the Setup Wizard will automatically include the files needed for that component to your custom Setup program, provided the Microsoft SQL Server driver is already installed on your computer. However, if you include the Microsoft Excel ISAM component in the Setup Wizard program, you must include the Microsoft Excel files that appear in the "Files Needed for Distributing ISAM Components" section of this article to the "Add the files that you want your custom Setup program to copy and then set properties for each file" dialog box. The Microsoft Excel ISAM files are not included automatically by the Setup Wizard program.

Files Needed For Distributing ODBC Support with SQL Server Components

The following files are automatically included with your custom Setup program when you select "ODBC Support with SQL Server" if they can be found on your computer.

Files Needed for Distributing ISAM Components

The Microsoft Access ISAM driver, Msrd2x32.dll, is automatically included with your custom setup files; you do not need to add it explicitly when you add files in the Setup Wizard.

The following files are specific for each database driver, and you must include them in the Add Files dialog box of the Setup Wizard if you want to distribute them with your runtime application.
