Re: [GENERAL] Error installing ODBC in NT

2000-08-31 Thread Joel Burton

 Hi!,
 
 I'm installing the ODBC Driver, and evrything goes right in all the
 clients (NT Workst.) except in one of them where I get this error at
 85% of the set up process:
 
 "Unable to create ODBC Core Subkey"
 
 Sure, It's not ODBC Driver faulty (I guess), but if someone knows how
 to work out, would be nice to me, since I'm migrating from MS-SQL
 Server to PostgreSQL, and that computer is an important one, so it is
 delaying the process

Under Win98, I had similar problems installing ODBC drivers (at some 
point, the ODBC manager seem to become corrupted, and I couldn't 
add new drivers.) Are you able to add another new ODBC driver? 
(You could download MySQL's, for example,  see if that works.)

I solved my problem by going into the registry and deleting the 
ODBC managers keys and reinstalling PostgreSQL w/driver manager. 
I love my other ODBC datasources, but reinstalled those. It's hardly 
elegant, I'm sure they're are better ways, but, hey, it worked for 
me. Your mileage may *definitely* vary, You've been warned, etc., 
etc.

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I had a vision and I solved the problem. But my
solution is, perhaps, harder than yours: I've deleted the user and created
again. Quick for me but the user looked angy :).

The driver, then, installed perfectly as usual. Maybe a corruption of the
registry. Bloody Windows :(

Well, that's another emergency solution.

Pablo.
