INF: Unable to Load ODBCCP32.DLL in Custom ODBC Setup Programs

• Microsoft Open Database Connectivity, version 2.5

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Driver Setup Kit sample program from ODBC SDK 2.1 with ODBCCP32.DLL version 2.5, the following error message appears:

   Initialization of the dynamic link library ODBCCP32.DLL failed

CAUSE

ODBCCP32.DLL version 2.5 requires ODBCINT.DLL to load. ODBCINT.DLL is a new language resource library introduced by ODBC SDK 2.5. All code that needs to be localized for all ODBC core components have been centralized into this library. This file includes all error strings and all dialog boxes.

The Driver Setup Kit sample program from ODBC SDK 2.1 is based on the old version installer DLL, which does not use ODBCINT.DLL. When you install the Drivers from Desktop Driver Pack 3.0 (which uses the ODBC 2.5 core components), modify the SETUP.LST file as described below.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem:

1. Include ODBCINT.DL_ or ODBCINT.DLL in your installation disks.

2. Add the following in the [Files] section of SETUP.LST:

         ODBCINT.DL_  =  ODBCINT.DLL
   

   -or-

         ODBCINT.DLL  = ODBCINT.DLL
   

   NOTE: If the file is in compressed format, add the first entry in the [Files] section of SETUP.LST. Otherwise, add the second entry.
