How to check availability of MySQL connector / ODBC?

Post by gknopf » Tue Nov 20, 2012 9:59 pm

Hi all,

I need to check if a MySQL connector is installed on the PC running my script. Does anyone know how to do it? Is there also a possibility to get a list of available ODBC connections to select the right connection string during run time?

Thanks in advance! (I would be lost without this forum and community!) :wink:

I found the solution after playing around some time :idea: . Actually its quite easy and I want to share it:

Code: Select all


//Read all installed ODBC drivers into variable RegKeys
RegistryEnumKeys>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,Software\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI,RegKeys

//From that get all MySQL connectors into an array ('MySQLConnectors')
RegEx>(?=MySQL).*?(?=%CRLF%),RegKeys,0,MySQLConnectors,ConnectorCount,0

Hope you can use it.
