registering an oledb provider

I have developed an Ole DB provider using Visual Studio.NET ATL and C++.
What is the best was to redistribute this. Are the any free installation
packages about, do I even require an installation package or is there an
easier way to register it.

Thanks,

Duncan.

Duncan,

You may want to check out NSIS [1], which is pretty solid.
Building installers with it isn't very easy, unfortunately, but there are
tons of samples to get you started.

Hi, I am trying to execute a prepare statement using oledb provider for DB2. The command.Prepare() statement is giving me an exception " No error information available: DB_E_NOCOMMAND(0x80040E0C)." My code is very simple and is working with other oledb provider, like SQL Server and oracle.

Hi All, I am new to using the Access DB and I need some help if someone is able to give it to me. What I want to do is get the names of the columns of certain tables. Not the data in the table but the table column names. I've seen other posts that suggest using the SQL command DESCRIBE but I can't get it to work for some reason. Other posts have code samples but they're written in VB which I am not familiar with. I

I have written an Ole Db provider. It seems to be registered in the Operating system to a degree, but not fully, i.e. I can access it from a client that I have written. But it does not appear in Database Explorer's list of viable Ole Db drivers... Any suggestions??

Hi, I currently have an application that connects to an MS ACCESS database. This application uses an OLEDB connection string for MS ACCESS. Now, I'd like to upsize the application so I converted the db to SQL SERVER and this went well. Next thing I changed the connection string from OLEDB for MS ACCESS to OLEDB for SQL SERVER. I expected this to work resonably well, however I found that it never worked

I have a simple webservice that performs a SELECT query against a database, and then an INSERT statement on the same database/table. The problem arises at the time when we create the second OleDB connection object and attempt to Open() it. The connection string is exactly the same for both connection objects. Another intersting thing is that this code works fine when it is used in a Windows Form project. The code snippet: try { //...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
