Article ID: Q149109
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0b

   Required File Missing ODBCCP32CP_
When you click the OK button in the error box, the Setup Wizard quits.

WORKAROUND

Select more than one ODBC driver in step 2 of the Setup Wizard. The Other ODBC driver to be selected should be one other than the SQL Server or Oracle drivers. As a suggestion, select the Text driver.
