ODBC COnfiguration issue

[OneEyeMan]

Hi,
I am trying to call SQLConfigDataSource() in my program, but apparently I receive the following:

The setup routines for the D ODBC driver could not be found. Please reinstall the driver.

This is the code:

        wcscpy( buf, L"Driver = " );
        wcscat( buf, driverName );
        ret = sqlConfigDataSource( handle, ODBC_ADD_DSN, const_cast<SQLWCHAR *>( driverName ), buf );
        if( ret != SQL_SUCCESS )
        {
            result = false;
            while( ( ret = sqlGetDiag( SQL_HANDLE_ENV, env, i, sqlState, &nativeError, errMsg, sizeof( errMsg ), &cbErrorMsg ) ) == SQL_SUCCESS )
            {
                errorMsg.push_back( errMsg );
                i++;
            }
        }

Looking under the debugger, the value of 'ret' is 0, which SQL_SUCCESS. The value of 'driverName' is "Driver da Microsoft para arquivos texto (*.txt)".

The window handle passed is correct.

Trying to execute ODBC Administrator program from the Control Panel for this driver correctly produces the setup dialog.

Is there a reason why I get the "D" as the driver name, and the function 'fails'?

This is on Windows 8.1 with MSVC 2010.

Thank you.

Not sure what sqlConfigDataSource may be, but

// C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Include\odbcinst.h

BOOL INSTAPI SQLConfigDataSource     (HWND       hwndParent,
                                      WORD       fRequest,
                                      LPCSTR     lpszDriver,
                                      LPCSTR     lpszAttributes);

The function accepts ANSI string for lpszDriver. As long as you pass L"Driver = " no surprise it appears to be just D in the call.

Igor,
I'm passing (SQLWCHAR *) to the function.

So let me try with LPCSTR...

Thank you.
