Is there any way to get .Net to use the MySQL ODBC driver on Windows Server 2003 64-bit? I've installed the MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51.12 driver on Windows Server 2003 64-bit and have tried to access the driver using a C#/.Net program. The error message reads that the driver is not found. The program works fine on Windows XP 32-bit. I can find the driver in %SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe, but I am unable to find a reference to it using Control Panel|Administrative Tools|Data Sources (ODBC). There is not an entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ODBC Drivers for the MySQL ODBC driver. I've tried the procedure in the User Comments section of http://mysql.osuosl.org/doc/refman/5.0/en/myodbc-installation-binary.html. I was unable to get it to work, most probably due to misunderstanding the instructions. I was confused by two of the instructions: "Proceed along the instructions above, do not use installer.bat" and "Register the driver with regedit". I did copy the files into the proper directories and attempted to register the .dlls using regsvr32. The error message from regsvr32 reads: myodbc3s.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. This file can not be registered. Thanks in advance for any suggestions! Russ
