1.2.1 Installation Package
The HP Neoview ODBC Windows driver software is available as a downloadable
distribution file, HPODBC_<v.v[v].v>.exe (for example HPODBC_2.2.1.exe).
By default, a new version of the ODBC driver will be installed in the
C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\HP ODBC 2.0 directory unless you specify
a different directory during installation.
The ODBC client installation file installs or links to multiple client
components:
