Hi all,

Platform Win NT 4 / VC++ 6.0 / MS Access for database.

In my project I am using ODBC for database connection. I want to avoid manual creation of DSN. Is there any way by which I can automatically create DSN for application's database during setup process?

Does Installsheild supports automatic creation of required DSN for ODBC?

Thanks.

InstallShield 5.x DOES support creating a DSN...its quite simple if you look at the InstallScript code examples....
