Lotus NotesSQL Driver - cannot install
- by PowerUser
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:
I retrieved the file (CZOWFEN.zip) from the IBM website.
I ran the exe.
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).
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"
I redownloaded and reinstalled the driver (making sure I had the latest version 8.5). No luck.
I checked the registry. All the file paths appeared to be correct.
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?
