Getting ODBC for AS400 without an Installation CD:

The CA express distribution may be residing on the AS400 disks.
If it does, then for Version 5.1 it's location is /QIBM/ProdData/CA400/Express
You can FTP to the AS400 and download everything you find in this folder to your PC, and then install it.

During custom Install, under the data access category you will find ODBC and OLE DB. Select both.
Under Operation Navigator category select databases.

Try looking here for some more info.

If you can get the Client access/ iseries access program I think it has an option to just install ODBC type stuff.
