Error packaging ODBC Settings

Hi,
I'm trying to package a ODBC settings about an application called Meta4 e-mind. I'm using WPS 7 Windows Installer Editor, I put all necessary files into a project, then I imported a .reg file with the keys used and finally I did a setup of ODBC from ODBC point below Feature Details.
I compiled that but when I'm trying to install this msi on another PC, the installation go well to the point "installing ODBC components", almost at the end of the process, but never follow to the end, allthough it don't show any error...
Do you know how can I do to fix this problem?

as always, what does a verbose log (/l*v) tell you?

The last part of their log is that:

I marked the point when the installation process doesn't continue. After 38 minutes, I cancelled the installation at this point and the the log registers the last steps

When you install an ODBC driver there is generally an "install" dll and a "run" dll. I would recommend that your installation is attempting to use the "run" dll to install the odbc driver.

Just a guess tho. Look in your install media for a dll that resembles the odbc dll but it may have an I, or Inst, in the name.
