choose another download site.

Install Notes

1. Those using the MSI based installer can simply install by 'executing'
the MSI file. Any existing MSI install should automatically upgrade.

2. Those using the noinstaller distribution should unzip the
distribution file and follow instruction found therein.

Connector/ODBC v3.

How many / which of the issues I reported yesterday has been fixed?

Nightly snapshots of the driver would've been nice.

I'm having a bit of a strange issue after installing this version.
I have always uninstalled any previous version of the driver before
installing a new version, just in case there was a problem with files
not being replaced.
After installing this version, I can open the data source administrator
to add a new DSN. Unfortunately, instead of having the multi-tabbed
screen, I am faced with one single screen. No Connect Options tab, no
Advanced tab, just the Login tab. Where there would be a textbox on the
right-hand side of the screen, there is nothing at all.
There is no dropdown button to allow you to select the database either.
Also missing are the Test and Diagnostics buttons at the bottom of the
screen.
It's almost as if there is a left-over dll somewhere that is interfering
with the new installation.

Any suggestions?

Joe,

The extra tabs in the configuration GUI have been removed for some time.
This was a decision made to help move along development of the new
driver without the confusion of having a partially non-working GUI in
place.

Everything sounds fine. :)

Many thanks for the information; I really thought that it was something
that I had done wrong during the installation.
I shall re-re-re-install and test the connector, now that I know what is
happening.
