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.

Do you need help?
