Re: ESQL/C Problem: "Cannot open file 'esqlexe.iem'."

Hi, This problem is typical when you do not have the right INFORMIXDIR set for the CSDK. It seems that you may have installed the server and the CSDK in two different directories and the INFORMIXDIR is actually pointing to the directory where the server may have been installed. Please ensure that the INFORMIXDIR is correctly set to the location where the CSDK is installed. Also remember that for IBM Informix products the environment variable on the command window takes the higher precedence than the one set in the registry. You may also want to check which INFORMIXDIR is being picked up from the command window that you are using to issue commands. Hope this helps. Thanks and Regards, Abhi.

On the Windows XP, I install IDS(IIF_9.40.TC5_w2k_tl.zip) , and everything is OK. Then I install CSDK(CSDK.2.81.TC1.WIN.zip), success too. But, when I run the esql, the problem comes like below: D:\\>esql demo1.ec IBM Informix CSDK Version 2.81, IBM Informix-ESQL Version 9.53.TC1 Cannot open file 'esqlexe.iem'. D:\\>esql -v Cannot open file 'esqlexe.iem'. In fact, this file is exist at %Client-SDK%\\msg\\en_us\\04e4 How to solve this problem "Cannot open file 'esqlexe.iem'" ? Thanks a lot ! sending to informix-list

Hi, That really helps. Just as you describe. The default dir of IDS is "C:\\Informix" and CSDK "C:\\Program Files\\Informix\\Client-SDK". I reinstall the CSDK, change the destination dir to "C:\\Informix". And it runs OK. Thanks!
