Setting ODBC Data Source Details

Windows Installer Editor Reference
You can use Installation Expert or Setup Editor to define the ODBC (Open Data Base
Connectivity) data sources, drivers, and translators to include in an installation. For
information about ODBC, consult technical documentation provided by Microsoft.
To add an ODBC item
1. Do one of the following:
Select Installation Expert > ODBC page.
a. From Current Feature, select a feature or condition. (Because any item you
add must be assigned to a specific feature, you cannot add an item when All
Features is selected.)
Items that you add to a feature are installed on the destination computer
only if the feature is installed. Items that you add to a condition are installed
only if the feature is installed and the condition is true.
b. Click Add at the right of the ODBC page and select Driver, Data Source, or
Translator.
On the Features or Components tab, right-click a feature or component, select
New, and select ODBC Source, ODBC Driver, or ODBC Translator.
The corresponding dialog box appears.
2. Complete the dialog box and click OK. For details, see:

The ODBC entry appears. To edit it, double-click its name. To delete it, use the right-
click menu.
To set ODBC data source details

Source dialog box appears, which displays a list of ODBC data sources that are
