POPostgres ODBC Drive scripted Install
text
Body
copied!<p>I am trying to script an install for the <a href="http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/odbc/versions/" rel="nofollow">Postgres ODBC Driver</a> as part of my application's installer. PG gives a great msi but I don't want it to pop up as part of my install. All they say about using the dll's is "Only use this distribution if you know what you are doing!" Unfortunately I cannot find anything showing someone how to do it if they do not know what they are doing. </p> <p>I have found <a href="http://psqlodbc.projects.pgfoundry.org/faq.html#6.8" rel="nofollow">a bit of info</a> about adding a few reg keys to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI . I am hesitant to use this because the keys do not exist on my computer. I used the msi install. And that the document is from 2010.</p> <p>So if anyone knows "what they are doing" regarding an odbc driver install I would very much appreciate your guidance. </p> <p>I'm installing on windows xp. I've got a vm set up so I can start from scratch after each try so I don't need to worry about what failed attempts might be cluttering up. I need the installer to work on xp up through windows 8 so if any one knows of any pitfalls that would not allow for a single isntaller please let me know. I plan to use the 32 bit driver for all installations for now.<br> I have tried using regsvr32. That didn't work. </p> <p>content of psqlodbc: <br/> libeay32.dll<br/> libiconv-2.dll<br/> libintl-8.dll<br/> libpq.dll<br/> pgenlist.dll<br/> pgenlista.dll<br/> pgxalib.dll<br/> psqlodbc30a.dll<br/> psqlodbc35w.dll<br/> ssleay32.dll<br/></p>
