1330.0. "control panel problem after installing ODBC" by UKVMS3::PJACKSON (Oracle UK Rdb Support) Fri Apr 11 1997 16:04

    A customer just rang and said that the installation of the Windows 95
    ODBC kit from the web corrupted his system. It put copies of
    odbccp32.dll and odbc32.dll into c:\windows, which were 6k and 12k
    respectively. In c:\windows\system he has versions which are 89k and 63k.
    Apparently it caused the control panel to fail.
    
    Has anyone else seen this?

    Hi Renee,
    
    Thanks for the pointer.
    
    Is there a BUG open on this?

1330.3No bug yetBROKE::BASTINEThu Apr 17 1997 12:356
No there isn't.  Since the customer in note 1299 was the ONLY one at the time,
I chalked it up to his particular PC and his environment and what he did... now
I'm not so sure!  I will have to wait to see how my new customer fairs... if
it turns out to be the CPL file, I'll bug it.  Unless you get there first! ;)

1330.5You can delete the 16bit thunking DLLsSQLSRV::MAVRISSue Mavris - smavris@us.oracle.comMon Apr 21 1997 20:1112
Hi,

These are the thunking DLLs that allow a 32 bit application to use a 16 bit 
ODBC Driver.  We didn't realize that these DLLs should only be installed on 
WIN32s systems.

As a workaround, your customer can delete the 16 bit thunking DLLs.  

Since we have a 32 bit Driver, these DLLs shouldn't be necessary.  We'll keep 
them on the kit but not install them in the next version of the Driver.
