How to use by-passing the installation

Hi All,
I'm a Windows MS C++ developer, and currently all my apps set are running i=
n a not installable way. Users just uncompress a zip file to start using th=
e programs.=20
PostgreSQL start/stop commands are also controlled by my application.

I would like to know if there is a way to make PosgreSQL ODBC connection by=
-passing the odbc driver installation?=20

Is it possible to directly use the files psqlodbc30a.dll / psqlodbc35w.dll =
when they are not listed/recognized by odbcad32.exe?

Marco

Marco,

You will need to use libpq. PG manual has plenty of information on that.=
