Hi all, I need to install Lotus NotesSQL Driver (current version is 8.5) onto a virtual machine running XP. Here's what's I've done so far:

  1. I retrieved the file (CZOWFEN.zip) from the IBM website.
  2. I ran the exe.
  3. I then went to My Computer->Properties->Advanced->Environmental Settings->System Variables->Path and added "; c:\notessql" so the ODBC administrator could find Notes.ini (why the setup file didn't do this in the first place, i don't know).
  4. I opened up the ODBC administrator and tried to add a new System DSN to a Lotus DB.

"The setup routines for the Lotus Notes SQL Driver (*.nsf) ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 126"

  1. I redownloaded and reinstalled the driver (making sure I had the latest version 8.5). No luck.
  2. I checked the registry. All the file paths appeared to be correct.
  3. Per many, many similar cases on the internet, I tried several different variations of adding the various Lotus Notes folders to my PATH variables. Same error.

I've done this setup on 5 different machines now with no problem. The only difference here is that this machine is virtual. Ideas?
