I have an application that connects and extracts data from several completely seperate systems using several different databases. On my
development machine, I have manually installed many ODBC and OLE DB
drivers using the executable installer packages available. However,
when I install my app on the target machines, the installer must
install these drivers itself. The goal is for this installer to run in
"silent mode" with no need for the user to do anything other than start
the process.
For ODBC this is a matter of copying the .dll file in the right place
and inserting some entries into the registry. What is the analagous
process for the OLE DB providers? How can I programattically add an
OLE DB provider so that when installer is complete and I execute my
application the OLE DB providers will be available?
