BTW: consider bundling both 32 bit and 64 bit builds with the installer. Actually on a fresh Win7 installation you will have both 32 bit and 64 bit ODBC driver for SQL Server (for use with 32 and 64 bit applications respectively). There also is one more problem with a 32 bit ODBC driver on 64 bit Windows: Only a 'user DSN' can be created - not a 'system DSN'. And finally I don't know if a 64 bit application would be able to use the 32 bit ODBC driver at all or if some issues would occur.

Peter, Thank you for your report, but... We do provide 64b drivers. And more over - in 64bit package we also bundle 32b driver. Just like you are suggesting. http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/ Closing bug
