- BEFORE INSTALLING THE ODBC DDDK
-
- 1. IMPORTANT: If Microsoft Windows is installed in a write-protected network
- directory, a person with write privileges to the Windows directory must install
- this product.
-
- 2. Review the Product Release Notes, if any, for special instructions pertaining to
- the installation of this product.
-
- 3. Be sure that no Powersoft products or the Watcom SQL engine are running.
-
-
- TO INSTALL THE ODBC DDDK
-
- 1. Insert the diskette labeled "Disk 1 of 3" into the floppy drive of your computer.
-
- 2. Run the SETUP program on the diskette. You can do this in one of three ways.
- (This example uses Drive A, however, your floppy drive may be a different letter.)
-
- * From the DOS prompt, type: WIN A:\SETUP
- * From Windows Program Manager, choose File/Run and type: A:\SETUP
- * From Windows File Manager, double-click on the SETUP.EXE file on Drive A.
-
- 3. Below is a brief description of what is installed when you make your selections:
-
- * Powersoft ODBC Deployment Kit: Files necessary for you to run your
- PowerBuilder executable files. When you make this selection, the ODBC
- Interface files required to run your executables are also installed in the
- target directory. Therefore, you do not need to install the Powersoft
- ODBC Interface selection when installing the ODBC Deployment Kit.
- * Open Database Connectivity Drivers: Based on your selections, the
- appropriate vendor ODBC drivers are installed in your Windows system
- subdirectory (for example, c:\windows\system).
- * Powersoft ODBC Interface: Files necessary for you to connect to databases
- using ODBC drivers within the PowerBuilder environment. You should
- always install ODBC Interface files in your PowerBuilder directory.
-
- 4. The installation procedure will prompt you:
-
- * When the procedure needs the next diskette or more information, or when
- it requires a decision to change or replace files. Respond to the prompts
- and select options as appropriate. Your AUTOEXEC.BAT is not modified
- when installing the ODBC Interface.
-
- * When the procedure finds existing Powersoft initialization (*.INI) files in
- the target directory or newer versions of ODBC drivers in your Windows
- system subdirectory, such as ODBC.DLL and ODBCINST.DLL. If you are
- unsure as to how to proceed, we suggest that you consult your system
- administrator for direction.
-
- * When the procedure is ready to update your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. You can
- choose to let the installation procedure change the existing file, create a
- new file for you, or proceed without making any file changes. Your
- AUTOEXEC.BAT is not modified when installing only the ODBC Interface.
-
- 5. Exit to DOS and verify that the Powersoft ODBC DDDK directory is included
- in your DOS PATH command. This will happen automatically if you let the
- installation procedure update your AUTOEXEC.BAT file in the previous step.
- The DOS PATH is not modified when installing the ODBC Interface files
- because they should be installed in your existing PowerBuilder directory.
-
- 6. Re-boot your PC and start Windows.
