Hi Chris, In my particular situation I have code embedded in my application to handle that, I checked for the existence of the DSN and if it doesn't exists I create it on the fly. You can use RegCreateKeyEX or RegCreateKey to create it, see:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724842.aspx

And RegOpenKey to see if the DSN exists, see:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724897.aspx

One way to learn this is by creating a DSN manually, look at it in the
registry and then make changes to the DSN or delete it and see how the registry changed. Let me know if you need further help.

Good luck
