Thank you to everyone who responded to this question. The solution came =

The problem was with the registry which was keeping several drivers from =

Thanks everyone,

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.

Hi Katherine,

Would you be able to post a link to the thread please? Searching for that
thread title didn't give any results, and this kind of thing is useful to
read before it happens (as it probably will at some point!)

Thanks,

Al
