The Visual FoxPro team recently discovered a bug in the updated VFP 6.0 Setup Wizard posted as a product update on our web site. If you create a setup that includes ODBC drivers, the generated setup will not install these drivers on machines running Windows NT or Windows 98.

The Visual FoxPro team will be posting a new version on our web site very shortly. In the meantime, we are including a simple fix that you can apply to your setups today to work-around this problem. Again, this only affects setups which include ODBC drivers and were made using the new updated VFP 6.0 Setup Wizard posted on our web site.

ODBC Driver Fix:

After you have generated a setup which includes ODBC drivers, locate the generated distribution files and open up the SETUP.STF text file. Search for the line number containing the Detect95 custom action (see below). The fix is made by adding ":" to the next two Depend statements. The number can be found in the third Depend statement. In the sample below, the fix is to add ":18" to lines 13 and 15. Note: the will vary depending on your specific setup. Once you have made this change, simply save the file and test your setup by running the SETUP.EXE program located in the same folder.

Below is example of fix:

Old STF Code:
12 CustomAction """wizset32.dll"", ""Detect95"", ""Win95""" %M
13 Depend 12 ? 15
14 DetectOlderFile OLE32.DLL, 4.7 %M
15 Depend 14 ? 17
16 DCOM95 Not Installed YesNoDlg The ODBC drivers require DCOM95, which isn't installed on this machine. DCOM95 is available from Microsoft web site or latest version of Internet Explorer. We recommend you click No, install DCOM95, and run this setup again. Continue installing ODBC drivers? No
