Trouble Installing MyODBC Connector - SOLVED

Trouble Installing MyODBC Connector - SOLVED

Thank you to everyone who responded to this question.  The solution came from
forums.mysql.com, in a thread titled ?MyODBC Driver doesn?t show up on driver
list.?

The problem was with the registry which was keeping several drivers from
showing up.  There is a very excellent description of how to solve the problem
written by Mark LaCroix (he acknowleges credit due to others as well.)  This
post resolved my problem exactly, and it is apparently somewhat common.

Thanks everyone,

-Katherine

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.
