Description:
I downloaded the win32 version of mysql 5.1.7 and installed it.  I created a  ODBC driver having simple user DSN without giving proper entries and pressed OK.  Now if i want to remove or configure the same DSN, it shows the pop-up with the title,
Driver's ConfigDSN, ConfigDriver or ConfigTranslator failed having the message "Invalid Attribute String". 

How to repeat:
Download and install mysql 5.1.7 for Win32, add a ODBC driver for MySql, create any dummy user DSN and try to remove or configure it.

Suggested fix:
Change the registry entry.  But don't know how to.  An earlier bug was reported with the same thing but that was for win 64.

I'm having the same issue, when is the patch going to be released? Thanks.

I wonder why you guys never bother to check BugsDB for possible duplicates? If you had checked, you would find that patched driver is already available and links are in Bug#5623 (both 32 and 64 bit).

sorry my comment truncated.

I literally just downloaded the driver today and I am experiencing this same issue.

Is this a re-occurrence of the issue from before?

Thanks

I download and install MySQL ODBC connector today. Same problems, don't let me delete system DNS or ODBC connections related with MySQL
