Installing the ADO.NET Driver
The TDV ADO.NET driver installation package for Windows operating systems is named, TIB_tdv_ADONet_<TDV Version>_<ADO.Net version>.msi. For example, in 8.4 release of TDV, the driver is called as TIB_tdv_ADONet_8.4.0_4.5.msi. Obtain this from the client driver zip file.
To install the ADO.NET driver
1. Make sure Visual Studio and any other interface that accesses the ADO.Net driver is closed.
2. If an older version of the driver exists, it is recommended that you uninstall that version, before installing the current version.
3. Double click or open TIB_tdv_ADONet_<TDV Version>_<ADO.Net version>.msi. For example, in 8.4 release of TDV, the driver is called as TIB_tdv_ADONet_8.4.0_4.5.msi
During the last installation step, the Visual Studio command table is rebuilt to complete the process. This part of the installation process takes a while to complete.
