SQLBrowse

InstallShield 2014 » InstallScript Language Reference

Project: This information applies to the following project types:

InstallScript
InstallScript MSI

The SQLBrowse2 function supersedes the SQLBrowse function.

The SQLBrowse function creates a dialog that lets an end user display a list of all SQL Servers that are available on the network.

This function is in the SQLRT.obl file for InstallScript projects, and in the SQLCONV.obl file for InstallScript MSI projects. If you are using the SQL Scripts view in InstallShield, the appropriate file is automatically added to your linker settings. However, if you are not using this view, add the appropriate file to your linker settings: On the Build menu, click Settings, and then add it to the Libraries (.obl) box.
