adding some variables. Here is an example as following:
1. Advanced/Variables, add a variable named <odbcUserDsnDir>, with a Text
type, Get variable from Registry, Default value "C:Program FilesCommon
FilesODBCData Sources", Root key: HKLM, Path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREODBCODBC.INIODBC File DSN, and Value name:
DefaultDSNDir. Thereafter, you can use <odbcUserDsnDir> to get file DSN’s
location.
2. Files to install, add the target dsn file, such as notesphr.dsn in my
example, specifying the target directory as <odbcUserDsnDir>. It will make
the dsn file copy from the installation packaget to the dsn default
directory. This is my dsn file’s content:
[ODBC]
DRIVER=Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)
UID=admin
UserCommitSync=Yes
Threads=3
SafeTransactions=0
PageTimeout=5
MaxScanRows=8
MaxBufferSize=2048
FIL=MS Access
DriverId=25
DefaultDir=C:Program FilesPhraseMemodatabase
DBQ=C:Program FilesPhraseMemodatabasenotesphr.db
3. In the notesphr.dsn, the last two lines should be changed in reponse of
the installation directory. We can do this with the help of System
changes/Text files. Click Add…, select Replace text action, specify the
filename, which is, in this example, <odbcUserDsnDir>notesphr.dsn, Search
text "DefaultDir=C:Program FilesPhraseMemodatabase" (quote marks
excluded) by replaced with "DefaultDir=<InstallDir>database" (quote marks
excluded), click ok to dismiss the dialog. Same as just now what we did,
replace "DBQ=C:Program FilesPhraseMemodatabasenotesphr.db" with
"DBQ=<InstallDir>databasenotesphr.db"
4. done. The installation will automatically copy your dsn file to the
target computer’s appropriate directory according to the computer’s
settings.
