When you state that the format 6 CONNECT statement did not work, what error did you receive?
When you use the bind connection the syntax should be as follows:
exec ado bind connection to :connectobj with transaction :transobj end-exec
where connectobj and transobj must be defined as type object.
01 connectobj object.
01 transobj object.
transobj can be null but connectobj must be set to a valid ado.net connection object like SqlConnection, etc.
I am not sure what is going on with esqlconfigw.exe on your system.
Are you running this as administrator?
You should open up a support incident with customer care for this issue.
Thanks.
