Can you package a oledb data provider?

[Guest]

Hello,
Is it possible to package a oledb data provider? I need to be able to
access an iSeries machine, but the server that the program is being
installed
on does not have the ibmda400 provider. The easy way would be to install
client express, but unfortunatly that can not happen. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Brian

the ibmda400 oledb driver uses the client-access client for the AS/400.
This means that if you don't install that client you can't access the
AS/400.
