Hello for all,

I need write my first program with connect to MSSQL. I have Win7 64bit
and Lazarus 1.2.0. I was download and install latest 32 bit library to
c:\windows\system32 and 64bit library to win\SysWOW64 too.
If I make TMSSQLConnection, in Object Inspector fill server_name,
user_name etc and if I switch Connect to True (for testing), appear
devils msgbox - Can not load DB-lib client library "dblib.dll". Check
your installation.

I am very unhappy from it. There must be some bullshit. Yes, Google I
was try it, I read documentation....
Does anybody have an idea, please?

Thanks Vladimir

Haven't tried MSSQL with Lazarus, but from similar occurrence with
other RDBMs. Just put the DLL in Lazarus folder and/or your project
folder, for when executing the exe.

I've got dblib.dll (and libiconv2.dll for the 32 bit environment) in
my system directories, works fine, but:

32 bit libraries go to syswow64, 64 bit libraries go to system32...
Please blame Microsoft for this decision.

No need for that. Putting them in your system directories solves the
problem for all development you do without needing to copy dlls all
over the place...

Thanks for idea, I also tried this... No.. The same error... For MySQL
this trick helped me. Here no.
