RE: Trouble Installing MyODBC Connector

I presume you have actually clicked the Add button? The reason I ask
this is because I got caught by something like this when I installed
MyODBC. When you open the ODBC dialog in Control Panel you see a list of
existing connections. MySQL will not appear there initially. I took that
as meaning MyODBC was not correctly installed.

When you click on the Add button you should see something like "MySQL
Connector/ODBC v5" or "MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver" in the list of drivers.
If that is not there I don't know what your problem is.

Subject: Trouble Installing MyODBC Connector

Hello List -

I'm attempting to install the ODBC Connector (I've tried 3.51.12,
3.51.16, 5.0.11) on a Windows XP Pro machine.  The installation seems to
be successful, but when I try to add the data source (via ODBC Data
Source Administrator) the new driver is not listed.

When I installed the two different v3 distributions, no path was
displayed in the installer and no option to identify the path.  The
installer told me the installation succeeded, but I can't find the
driver in the data source admin.

When I installed v.5, the path was verified in the installer (c:\Program
Files\MySQL\MySQL Connector ODBC 5.0) and after the installation I found
the files there.  But still no driver in the data source admin.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
