Renaming ODBC driver |
Fri, Jun 27 2008 10:00 AM | Permanent Link |
Chris Holland SEC Solutions Ltd. Team Elevate | Hi,
If I rename the Version 4 ODBC Driver from "dbodbc.dll" to for example "Cypher1Odbc.dll" then if I try and alter and existing DSN in the ODBC Data source manager I get an error saying: "The setup routines for the DBISAM 4 Driver ODBC driver cannot be found. Please reinstall the driver". Hoever if I have the default "dbodbc.dll" driver installed as well as my own "Cypher1Odbc.dll" driver then all works as expected. It is as iff it is looking for "dbodbc.dll" for the Setup functions instead of "Cypher1Odbc.dll" as I have specified. My registry settings are as follows: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\Cypher1 ODBC Driver] "Driver"="D:\\Cypher1.net\\bin\\Cypher1Odbc.dll" "Setup"="D:\\Cypher1.net\\bin\\Cypher1Odbc.dll" "DriverODBCVer"="03.00" "UsageCount"=dword:00000001 Chris Holland |

Make sure that this is changed also. The data source registry settings can be found here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI depending upon whether it is a user or system DSN. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Chris Holland SEC Solutions Ltd. Team Elevate | Hi Tim,
It appears that the Data Source entry attaches itself to an internal name form the DLL. Even though I renamed the driver to Cypher1ODBC.dll the data source is linked to "DBISAM 4 ODBC Driver", so I assume it picked this up from the dll. Not to worry, I was only renaming the driver to try and keep things tidy I don't really need to do it.

That title is in the version information, so if you modify the version information in the DLL, you can change it to whatever you want. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Shoot, I did forget one thing - in this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC Data Sources You need to make sure that the DSN is mapped to the proper ODBC Driver *name* also. Perhaps that was the issue ? -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Actually, axe that suggestion - the DSN configuration will set the driver name back to that specified by the version info in the DLL, so yes, you'll have to modify the version info. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
