CUDLI install error - ADO.NET driver is not found

[Adam Jurga]

Hi Guys,

I have problem with installing CUDLI, getting error:

"The Informix ADO.NET driver is not found installed on the system. This utility requires version 3.5 or later of the IBM Informix client SDK installed including the .NET drivers from that install to work properly."

I have SDK client installed from here: http://www.ciscounitytools.com/Applications/CxN/InformixODBC/InformixODBC.html

My path:

PATH= ...;

C:\Program Files (x86)\ibm\gsk8\lib;

C:\Program Files (x86)\ibm\gsk8\bin;

C:\Program Files (x86)\Informix Client-SDK\bin;

Am I missing something? How this check works?

Please only note that I'm working on virtual machine where I have limited rights. I managed to install the client, but maybe I still have to set something manually.

Thanks,

Adam

hmmm... looks like IBM stopped adding a key into the registry at 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\AssemblyFolders\IBM.DATA.Informix 2.0

they used to add that key in there that the setup checks for to be sure someone didn't just install the ODBC drivers and not the ADO framework with it.  

I cut a version of the setup that skips this check and we'll just rely on folks being sure to install both from the SDK.  You can get it on the temporary download page here: http://www.ciscounitytools.com/Temp/

Thank you lindborg! This cut version works perfectly for me.

I think the problem is with limited access to VMs in my corporation rather than in IBM drivers.
