Re: Re: Cannot find ODBC32.dll

You can extract the file ODBC32.dll from the cabs on your win98 cdrom (the cab files are like zip files, ie 'cabinets' that hold other compressed files). From command.com change directories into <cdromdrive>\win98 dir win98*.cab | more Note the first win98_??.cab file. On my disk it is win98_21.cab. Then type extract /a win98_21.cab odbc32.dll /l c:\windows\system <enter> Make sure to substitute win98_21.cab with the first number on your disk (Win98 Gold, SE, OEM, and Retail disks are all numbered a little differently). This will put a copy of the file into c:\windows\system. The latest version of this file is included with the MDAC update v2.8. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=828396 has more information. It may be better to get the update, as the version on the win98 disk is around 4 years old. Josh > Miroslav Majdan wrote: > > > I am using Win98. I have installed PHP-4.3.4-Win32.
