Description:
In order to comply to Windows 7 logo the ODBC driver must fix the following things:
1. Clean, reversible, installation
Value InstallLocation missing from key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{F929096B-54A0-4C5C-B125-1E7EB1917412}.
Value InstallLocation missing for program MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51.
2. Install to the correct folders by default
File C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW64\MYODBC3.DLL was written to an incorrect location.
File C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW64\MYODBC3.HLP was written to an incorrect location.
File C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW64\MYODBC3.LIB was written to an incorrect location.
File C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW64\MYODBC3I.EXE was written to an incorrect location.
File C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW64\MYODBC3-LICENSE.TXT was written to an incorrect location.
File C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW64\MYODBC3M.EXE was written to an incorrect location.
File C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW64\MYODBC3S.DLL was written to an incorrect location.
File C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW64\MYODBC3S.LIB was written to an incorrect location
How to repeat:
Install the driver and look where files go and what registry entries are created.
Suggested fix:
MyODBC 3.51 installs in WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (SYSWOW64) directory.
We could easily do it in Program Files as with MyODBC 5.1.
And the registry key for uninstallation does not comply Win7 requirements (it is empty):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{F929096B-54A0-4C5C-B125-1E7EB1917412}
As far as I know the registry problem affected 5.1 too, but it has been recently fixed. So just merge the appropriate changes from 5.1 into 3.51. IMHO nothing very special.
