I have a VB app that uses ADO to conenct to the odbc driver of postgresql. The question I have is, has anyone done something for the install (either using package and deployment or windows installer) to automate the postdrv.exe isntall along with the normal application? I was thinking about having the setup fire off the postdrv install, and then modify the registry for the ODBC data source, but was hoping someone else hs already done something along this lines.

* RE: Windows application deployment @ 2000-10-16 21:07 Clark, Joel <jclark@lendingtree.com> 0 siblings, 1 reply; 5+ messages in thread From: Clark, Joel @ 2000-10-16 21:07 UTC (permalink / raw) To: 'Adam Lang' <aalang@rutgersinsurance.com>; pgsql-interfaces This is kind of off-topic, but I am starting on a native OLEDB provider for ADO. This would eleminate the ODBC driver issue. No ECD yet... To answer your question, you can do a ::CreateProcess() and then ::WaitForSingleObject() on the HINSTANCE that comes back in lpProcessInformation->hProcess. The Win32 subsystem will signal the handle when the process dies, which triggers WaitForSingleObject() to return. If it is an InstallShield installer, then that won't work because install shield spawns another process and then kills itself. Hope this helps. jc -----Original Message----- From: Adam Lang [mailto:aalang@rutgersinsurance.com] Sent: Monday, October 16, 2000 4:57 PM To: pgsql-interfaces@postgresql.org Subject: [INTERFACES] Windows application deployment I assume some people have written windows based applications for a front end to postgresql.
