How do I set up an installation script including ODBC-connection?

Question

Easy question this time.... I have a installation file, and a registry edit in my script.

How do I set up a ODBC-connection as well, actually I need to script up 2 ODBC-connections.

Any advice for me?

System ODBC settings are stored in the registry under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ODBC

I would suggest configuring the ODBC connections manually then exporting the registry values. You can then either script a registry merge or write the values explicitly. Remember to install the relevant drivers and associated ODBC registry settings for those as well.
