ODBC Installation

---

NOTE:  If your PC has the exact required versions of the ODBC Text and Access drivers (and the Microsoft SQL Server, if you are deploying on that database), the ODBC Pack dialog box does not appear.

• If you are not required to complete the ODBC Pack dialog box, you see a dialog box that shows the progress of ODBC component registration.
• You may be requested to complete the Required Software Component - ODBC Pack dialog box.
  • If you have newer versions of the ODBC drivers installed, this dialog box lets you choose whether to install the older versions of the ODBC drivers included with the Siebel application software.
  • If you have older versions of the ODBC drivers installed, you must install the versions provided with Siebel eBusiness Applications before continuing with the installation.

To install the Microsoft Data Access Components

1. Click Next to launch the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) installer, which installs the ODBC drivers.

   NOTE:  Microsoft licensing requires that at least one 32-bit Microsoft product, such as Microsoft Word 7 (the version of Word that comes with Office 97), be installed on the PC before Data Access Components can be installed.

2. Click Yes to accept the license agreement.
3. Click Continue to proceed with the installation.
4. Click Complete to install the required ODBC drivers.
5. If you selected Microsoft SQL Server in the Server Database dialog box, the Local Database dialog box will appear.
   1. Specify the local database used by your organization for Siebel Remote mobile users.
   2. Click Next.

      NOTE:  If your server database is not Microsoft SQL Server, you will not see this dialog box. Proceed to the next step.

6. Click OK to exit the installer and return to the Siebel Tools installation program.

NOTE:  Do not select Restart Windows if prompted to do so by the MDAC installer. Instead, select Exit Setup. Siebel Systems recommends that you complete the installation before rebooting your computer.

The Siebel Tools installation is now complete.
