There are three ODBC components you can add in this page: drivers, data sources and translators. The user interface is composed from the tree control on the left side where all the drivers, data source and translators from the project will be displayed and from the currently selected element's properties which are displayed on the right side.
Adding a driver
Use the toolbar button, the “Add Driver...”
tree/list context menu item or press the + key
while the tree control is focused.
Creating a new data source
Use the toolbar button, the “New Data
Source” tree context menu item or press the
Insert key while the tree control is focused.
Importing an existing data source
Use the
toolbar button or the
“Import Data Source...” tree context menu item.
Only the data source's name and attributes will be imported.
You will need to set the ODBC driver yourself.
Adding a translator
Use the toolbar button, the “Add
Translator...” tree context menu item or press the
* key while the tree control is focused.
Locating the attached component for a driver, data source or translator
Use the “Go To Component” tree context menu item or press the F8 key while an element from the tree control is selected. This command will activate the Organization page with the appropriate component selected in the left tree control.
Setting the Current Feature
Advanced Installer will create components for the added resources as necessary. These components will be added to the Current Feature. Use the drop-down list box in the toolbar to change the Current Feature.
You can further manage the your package's organization in the Organization page.
This feature is not available for Merge Module projects. For more
