Avoid "Missing ODBapi.m" while installing DBAPI add-on?

The Installation.nb notebook for the DBAPI add-on (http://healis.eu/dbapi_project/guda/) has code for copying package ODBapi.m into the OptionsValues folder of Mathematica:

from = FileNameJoin[{$UserBaseDirectory, "Applications", "DBAPI", 
   "Options", "ODBapi.m"}]

to = FileNameJoin[{$InstallationDirectory, "SystemFiles", "FrontEnd",
     "SystemResources", "FunctionalFrequency", "OptionValues", 
   "ODBapi.m"}]

CopyFile[from, to]

However, no such file ODBapi.m is included in the downloaded application.

What are the actual, correct, instructions for the current release?

Unfortunately, there is no contact information given on the project's web page nor, so far as I can see, on the home page of the authoer's personal web site.

Hi Murray,

The installation instructions on this page say "Download the latest release of DBAPI from here".

That zip file does have DBAPI/Options/ODBapi.m. So it seems (I have not tried it) that the zip file has to unzipped to $UserBaseDirectory/Applications.
