[Firebird-net-provider] Help with the installation of the DDEX provider in Visual Studio 2005

[Angel I. <ang...@gm...>]

Hi to all members of the list. Is my first message in this list. Im
trying to install Firebird DEX Provider in Visual Studio.

First, sorry about my poor english...

I have Visual Studio Professional Edition 2005 (in spanish).
I have installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 SDK February.

>From the services explorer in Visual Studio, i click on Add connection
and everything ok.

Then i try to install the DEX Firebird Provider.

I Install First the FirebirdClient-2.1.0-RC1.exe in C:\Archivos de
programa\FirebirdClient
Then i Install FirebirdDEXProvider-2.0.2.exe in the same dir.

Lets go to combine the .reg file.

I edit the FirebirdDDEXProvider32.reg file...

I replace (twice) %Path% with c:\\Archivos de programa\\FirebirdClient
which contains the installation of Ado client and DEX provider.

I combine the file with the registry...

Then i go to modify the machine.config file...

in the c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\ directory
edit the machine.config file...

I go to the DEX directory and execute "gacutil.exe /l
FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient" there is the result
