ODE97: Setup Wizard Requires ODESP2 for Updated ODBC Drivers (172701)

SYMPTOMS

Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

When you install a custom application created with the Microsoft Office 97 Developer Edition (ODE) Tools Setup Wizard, and that application includes ODBC functionality and the run-time option, you may receive the following error message

The ODBC installer DLL (ODBCCP32.DLL) is not installed on this system.

followed by

SQLInstallDriver failed for ODBC driver SQL Server.

and then:

ODBC's SQLInstallTranslator failed while configuring Translator MSCPXL32.DLL.

Setup will then continue as normal. At the end of Setup, you receive the following message:

Setup was not completed successfully.

This behavior occurs if you are running Windows 95 and you installed the updated ODBC drivers included in the following sources:

ODBC 3.0 Driver Manager
Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0 Service Pack 3

CAUSE

The computer that you used to create the disk images for your custom application contains updated versions of the ODBC files; however, the ODE Setup Wizard does not include all of the files on the disk images.

RESOLUTION

Install the Microsoft Office 97 Developer Edition Tools Service Pack 2 (ODESP2). This update can be found at the following locations:

In the \ValuPack\ODBC folder of the Microsoft Office 97 Service Release 1 (SR-1) Enterprise Update CD.
On the Microsoft Web site at:
http://www.microsoft.com/OfficeDev/ProdInfo/ODESP2.htm.

NOTE: The Microsoft Office 97 Developer Edition Tools must be installed on the computer before you try to install the ODESP2. If the ODE is not on the computer when you start Setup, you will receive a message informing you that Setup could not find the ODE installed on your hard disk.
