Re: MySQL Connector/ODBC 5.0.5 has been released

I tried at the last release and also this one, but has never got any 
further than to trying to create an ODBC connection: Crash #¤#"%&!!

"odbcad32.exe has encountered a problem ans needs to close. We are sorry 
for the inconvenience"
AppName: odbcad32.exe AppVer: 3.525.1117.0 ModName: Unknown, ModVer: 
0.0.0.0 OffSet: 00c14220-
And then a one kilometer long error report where you can't copy/paste from.

Seems to me as if this product is not nearly ready for beta testing.
