Thank you to everyone who responded to this question. The solution came from forums.mysql.com, in a thread titled “MyODBC Driver doesn’t show up on driver list.” The problem was with the registry which was keeping several drivers from showing up. There is a very excellent description of how to solve the problem written by Mark LaCroix (he acknowleges credit due to others as well.) This post resolved my problem exactly, and it is apparently somewhat common. Thanks everyone, -Katherine _____________________________________________ From: Simpson, Katherine Sent: Friday, June 22, 2007 1:54 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Trouble Installing MyODBC Connector 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. Katherine Simpson [email protected] No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
