Description:
I successfully created DSN that connects to MySQL (5.2.27 CE) database using MySQL ODBC 5.1 driver. I could export data to MS Access using this DSN, I could create link tables in MS Access. Evrything seems is working fine, but when I tried to delete DSN it produced error: 

Invalid attribute string with caption: Driver's ConfigDSN,ConfigDriver,or config translator failed. 

When I tried to register myODBC5.DLL it give me message that myOdbc5.DLl was loaded but the entry-point DLLRegisterServer was not found.

Now I have multiple mySQL DSNs  that i want to delete and it does not work.  I also tried to create log file with trace but "Remove DSN" action  does not create any log files.

How to repeat:
download mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.7-win32.msi
Install Mysql ODBC drive on Windows7 OS.
create DSN to mySQL database (v 5.2.27 CE)
Remove DSN.

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. Because of this, we hope you add your comments to the original bug instead.

Thank you for your interest in MySQL.

Explanation: This is a duplicate of Bug#56580 and many others. Please find links to patched binaries there.

Wrong bug number, should be Bug#56233.
