Informix DB access from LiveWire Pro

Hi,
I've just installed LiveWire Pro 1.01 on an NT4 machine. I've been able
to successfully run some of the demo applications that come with the
Application Manager, but I haven't been able to run any of the database
applications.
When I try to run the dbadmin or video application, I get an error
message that reads "Unable to connect to database". A more detailed
message reads:
database.majorErrorCode=0 [DBNOTFOUD] No access library for 'mdbifd.dll'
I'm able to access and query the sysmaster and store7 demo databases
from the dbaccess command line utility just fine. However, if I try to
access any of the databases from the Database Explorer, I get an 'access
violation' exception error as it tries to load the databases. So the
problem seems to be with the way the Informix database is setup and not
with LiveWire.
Could the problem be with the ODBC drivers? I don't have much experience
with databases and so I'm just making some guesses. If anyone has had
experience with this problem, I would appreciate any assistance you
could give me.
Thanks,
Danilo
