Sorry, I typed System DSN in the subject but meant USER.
I f you look at the .reg I pasted, you see it's HKCU which means User
DSN. System DSN's are in HKLM I believe.
The app in question does NOT work with a System DSN, so a User DSN must
be created.

Joe is right. there shouldn't be any reason a normal user needs
to add a System DNS. System DSN by definition are available to everyone
and are only configured once.

Do you already have a System DSN with the same name?
System DSNs are just
that, available to everyone.
User DSN are user specific. Does the DSN have to be
User Specific? Why
are you not able to create a System DSN?

user
This is the .REG file I am using. If a user has Power
Users access it
works great. with Users access, it only creates part of
the entries and
says "files already in use". Power Users and Users have
the same access
to the DLL reference below.
I got the info by just looking at the registry on a
computer where the
key was alreayy added.

User should have access to write to HKCU. Try running
Regmon. I'd love
to see your script if it works, I've been trying to find
out a way to
put in an ODBC entry with the packager after an
application install but
I couldn't find anything that would work.
Thanks,
Chris

Subject: [THIN] Adding System DSN ODBC for regular user
Anyone know how you can add a System DSN ODBC under a
users profile who
has regular user access. I have the info in a registry
file and am
running it in a login script, but if you do not have
Power User or above
access, it will not create, even though it's in the HKCU
key.
