Yana C. ok great. Let me know if anything cant be confirmed and I'll attempt to recheck my end. Thanks

Yana C. you're welcome. I could have been even more detailed.. but then I'd be monologing like a supervillain :)

Yana C. Hello I'm back. Anything else i can provide test?

Ok I have to go. I'll follow up later as needed 🙂 thanks

One last item that may be at issue, this is with tableau desktop 2024.3. If the directions are different for different version, that would be int the docs. But I haven't been able to find any info on that this behavior is different regardless of version.

just for the sake of completeness the location for the TACO file is fine and correct.

So on enterprise manage systems, non admin users cannot setup duckdb with tableau without esoteric knowledge about the registry settings.

I found a forum post that if you change something in the user's registry you can re point it, but as written The docs on the Tableau site seem to be a hard fail.

As for that page on Tableau.com, well AS far as I have been able to gather the instructions to put the driver into Desktop Windows: C:\Users\[YourUser]\Documents\My Tableau Repository\Drivers straight up does not work. In the default config drivers need to be in the Tableau folder in program files. As far as i've been able to find there is no in app way to change this location, no launch param that lets you set it for the session, and no app install param to change at install time.

Yana, ok so I haven't fully tested as I don't have tableau myself I'm trying to help some ppl at work. On my first attempt I pulled down the JDBC driver that was tagged for windows AMD64 specifically, and that didn't seem to work. When I used the 'full' one, or the 'non platformed' one it worked. I have to assume that it might be a file name thing?
