Re: ROM and Client SDK installation problem

For some reason, the dlls have changed and have made the two software packages incompatible. I fixed this by not installing ROM in the Informix directory, but instead, installing it in its own directory. Leave the Setnet settings and leave the informixdir as they were. You also need to copy all the iem files from the new ROM directory (ex. c:\\ROM\\msg\\en_us\\04e4) to the corresponding Informix directory (ex. c:\\informix\\msg\\en_us\\04e4). This allows ROM dlls to find the Informix error messages (via the informixdir setting). Informix or someone else out there may have a cleaner fix, but this one worked for me.
