We use py2exe and Inno Setup to create a setup.exe installation
program.  Part of the installation in Inno is to create the ODBC
object in the registry that is necessary for the program to access
ODBC data source.  All I did was to observe the changes in the
registry before and after manually setting up a ODBC datasource
and put that code in my Inno script.  Works like a charm.
