gsitecrawler2 error on application launch

[Rascal]

Hello

I recently installed GSiteCrawler in a Windows 2003 SP2 R2 server
running in an Active Directory domain. I then installed the SQL
update.

I tested the application first using gsitecrawler and it worked
perfectly. I then followed the online instructions and set up a
database on one of my MSSQL 2005 servers. I then ran the DBsetup
utility, set up the proper accounts, tested and created the tables.
All went flawlessly.

Until I tried to launch gsitecrawler2 - "C:\Program Files\SOFTplus
\GSiteCrawler\GSiteCrawler2.exe"

Every time I attempt to launch the application it fails with the
following error: "Error opening Database-Connection: -2147467259 -
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no
default driver specified"

If I launch "C:\Program Files\SOFTplus\GSiteCrawler\GSiteCrawler.exe"
the application works fine.

I have verified that the DB is properly configured. I have also
uninstalled and reinstalled the application to no avail.

Any help toward resolving this issue is appreciated.

Here's a simialr situation which may help you identify the prohblem.

The way I understand that is it involves user permissions across all
platforms.

Oh I did indeed! Sorry. Don't know where I lost it.

OK, let me try again.

Old and it looks like it applies to a somewhheat different setup, but
may still address the problem in general terms.

OK - So it appears that upon launch, gsitecrawler2 looks for an ODBC
DSN. When it doesn't find one it bombs. I ran a trace on ODBC and it
shows many attempts to connect.

Does the application look for a DSN connection? If not, why is mine?
If so, what are the settings?

Thanks in advance!

10 Years later and I'm looking for the same answer with the same issue.  Did anyone ever figure it out?

I'm sorry, no idea.

The link I posted before no longer works. By now I don't remember at all what it was about.

I don't know first hand how it works when using an SQL database. 

Are you unable to use the standard application with the built-in MS Access database?
