If you install the SAP DB ODBC driver as a separate software package, the default value for
the system is the installation path
C:\Program Files\SAP DB\ODBC7x
, where
x
stands
for the particular version of the SAP DB ODBC driver.
As of version 7.4, the ODBC installation package is included not only in the
server package, but also in the Web Tools package and in the DB Analyzer
package. The combination of the software packages corresponds to different
installation profiles. You can install the entire software package; that is, including
ODBC software, or select only the ODBC installation package from the software
package.

Procedure
Check whether a SAP DB Server is already installed on your server. If this is the case, the
SAP DB ODBC driver is also already installed, and no further steps are necessary.
Otherwise, proceed as follows:
Open the InstallShield Wizard for the SAP DB ODBC driver by double clicking the file
odbc7x-setup.exe
.
The default value for the installation path is
C:\Program Files\SAPDB\ODBC7x
. You can
change this installation path.
Follow the instructions in the Wizard.
Result
Information about all installed ODBC drivers is stored by the system in the file
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ODBC/ODBCINST.INI
. A driver-specific key is also
created for each ODBC driver, and is also stored in this file.
The following entry is stored in the registry for the SAP DB ODBC driver during
installation:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI
SAP DB 7.4
The key
SAP DB 7.4
is created.
The names of the ODBC driver DLLS and the name of the setup DLL are stored under the
driver-specific key. The ODBC Administrator tool uses this information to load the
corresponding DLL when creating new data sources.
Under the key SAP DB 7.4, there is the following entry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\SAP DB 7.4
Driver=C:\SAP DB\pgm\sqlod32.dll
Setup=C:\SAP DB\pgm\sqlsp32.dll
