Error installing ODBC driver

I apologize if this is posted twice; I tried to post on Friday but it looks=
like it didn't go through.

I have an MS Access program that has drawn data from a postgresql database =
for years.
Now the program crashes before the postgresql login screen appears.
I decided to reinstall the driver, so removed it through control panel firs=
t.

When I attempt to reinstall the postgresql driver, i get:
"Error 1918: error installing odbc driver. component not found in the regi=
stry. Verify that the file PostgreSQL exists and that you can access it."

I am using ver. 7.03.02.00 postgresql driver.
Yes I know it is old, but up to now has worked flawlessly.

Any ideas why the driver install fails? I searched the archives but found =
nothing relevant.
Search on 1918 yields nothing related to this, as does (not) other terms in=
the message.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Fred

Re: Error installing ODBC driver: answer

My bad

Turns out the machine I was trying to reinstall on is an important machine =
used by several people, and the sys admin had locked out the ability to mak=
e any changes to the local machine. Once he logged in as admin for me, the=
postgres driver install ran successfully to completion.
