SMSINST: ODBC Data Source May Fail to Be Installed (192663)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server Installer 1.0
This article was previously published under Q192663 SYMPTOMS
A Systems Management Server Installer executable file does not correctly
install an ODBC Data Source when using the Configure ODBC Data Source
script item in the Systems Management Server Installer script editor. No
warnings or errors are displayed or logged.
CAUSE
This problem can occur if invalid or blank entries are included in the Data
Source Attributes section of the Configure ODBC Data Source script item.
During runtime, Systems Management Server Installer recognizes invalid
information included in this section, and does not configure the Data
Source. However, the Systems Management Server Installer also fails to
display or log an error that it encountered the problem.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, verify that the Data Source Attributes section
of the Configure ODBC Data Source script item does not contain any invalid
entries.
For example, note that you should not include "Driver=" or "User=" entries,
because these are considered invalid (because the script item adds these
for you automatically).
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
Installer version 1.0.
