Re: [Firebird-odbc-devel] "Driver" entry at ODBC.INI registry key

[Jorge A. B. <li...@da...>]

Roman, I'm not talking about the driver install, but the DSN data. If 
you install the driver, and then create a ODBC DSN (for example, 
"TestDSN"), a new registry key is created at 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\TestDSN

Inside that key, there is a value named "Driver", containing 
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\OdbcFb.dll" (if DSN was created in a WinXP box, 
change "windows" by "winnt" if using win2000).

How is that value used by the driver? (I create the DSN inside my app 
installer, by adding the necessary registry entries, but today I've 
realized I was creating always "Driver=C:\WINDOWS\system32\OdbcFb.dll" 
but there is no such path on win2000).
