[Firebird-odbc-devel] Using the odbc driver on windows without installing it from a Delphi application

[Stefan G. <ste...@ya...>]

Hello all :)
I need to use firebird with a windows application which does not have admin rights for install or run.I cannot figure out how can I use odbc driver without installing it - I don't even know if it's possible.
I searched the net, found almost no information
In this article it is stated that it is easy - just specify the OdbcFb.dll in the connection string.https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54826254/connect-odbc-without-driver-installed
But the post also says that I have to link the OdbcFb.lib in my exe. I use Delphi (XE7) for that project and I think I cannot link a lib file.Maybe I could build a small c++ app just for executing the lib file somehow before starting my Delphi app? 
Other things I tried were writing a odbc.ini, odbcinst.ini files in my app folder and trying to describe the provider name and dll name there.
The error remains pretty much the same:[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified.

Please help - is there a way to use the odbc driver on windows without installing it from a Delphi application.
Thanks in advance,Stefan.
