Configuring ODBC Resources

InstallShield 2015

Project: This information applies to the following project types:

• Basic MSI
• DIM
• InstallScript MSI
• Merge Module
• MSI Database
• MSM Database
• Transform

One of the more complex areas of system configuration involves setting up ODBC drivers, data source names (DSNs), and translators. The ODBC resource must be properly registered on the system with all of the required attributes and, in the case of drivers and translators, install the necessary files, including any installation .dll files. This process is simplified in the ODBC Resources view, in which you can select the drivers, data sources, and translators installed on your development system.
