[Iodbc-bugs] SQLInstallDriverEx does not work when driver library is read-only

[James D. <ja...@si...>]

Hi,

I ran into a bug with the SQLInstallDriverEx function. It doesn't accept paths to driver library files that the caller does not have write permission for. Some drivers ship with only read-only permissions.

The problem is in SQLINstallDriverEx.c at line 232.

The line
  if (lpszPathIn && access (lpszPathIn, R_OK | W_OK | X_OK))

fails because the W_OK bit is set.

Thanks,
James
