Hi

I found this:

"Description:
MyODBC appears to install normally, shows up in programs list.  However, when
you try to create a DSN, it does not show up in driver list as a choice.  It
doesn't show up on the driver tab, either.  I tried on another XP machine
without SP2, and it worked fine.

How to repeat:
Try to install on an XP2 machine.

Suggested fix:
No clue.

"However, when you try to create a DSN, it does not show up in driver list as a
choice." Same problem here. I'm running XP SP2 as well. George Chacko

Same problem with XP SP2 - driver appears to install correctly but doesn't show
up in the ODBC driver list.  Uninstalled and reinstalled as well - still doesn't
appear.

I also tried some of the solutions out on the net including 

a)  including installing in safe mode 

b) importing the following .reg file

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver]
"UsageCount"=dword:0000000c
"Driver"="C:\\WINNT\\System32\\myodbc3.dll"
"Setup"="C:\\WINNT\\System32\\myodbc3.dll"
"APILevel"="2"
"ConnectFunctions"="YYN"
"DriverODBCVer"="03.51"
"FileUsage"="0"
"FileExtns"="*.txt"
"SQLLevel"="1"
"CPTimeout"="60"
"DSNHelpFile"="C:\\WINNT\\help\\my3dsn.hlp"

c) exporting the ODBC director from the registry, deleting it, and re-importing
it (separated by reboots). 

Still doesn't work for me. GC

The following steps can be use as background for the bug:
 --------------------------------------------------------
 1.Call "regedit" programm under WindowsXP
 2.The registry structur [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ODBC
Drivers]
   must export to the .reg file.
 3.After then deleted the structur
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ODBC Drivers]
   in the registry.
 4.Edit the exported .reg file, with deleted following line  >>> @="" <<<,
 5.Save the .reg file
 6.Import the .reg file with the registry programm or call the .reg file to be
save the Driverskey

 After these steps the drivers are listed correctly in the Microsoft Driver
Manager.
