Connector file structure

The Installer copies the standard files associated with the connector into your system.

The utility installs the connector into the ProductDir\connectors\COM directory, and adds a shortcut for the connector to the Start menu. Note that ProductDir represents the directory where the connector is installed.

Table 1 describes the file structure used by the connector, and shows the files that are automatically installed when you choose to install the connector through the Installer.
