Description:
Hello!

I installed the MySQL ODBC-Driver succesfully. It appears correctly in the Software-List of the windows control center.

But it only appears if the user is logged on who installed the driver. There is no entry of the ODBC driver in the Software-List for any other user!!!!

This is not critical but very troublesome doing updates with different administrator-accounts.

Juergen

How to repeat:
Just install the driver, change the user and the driver is disappeared

Hi, 

please can you check the following steps, to look how is the driver installed in  registry.

1.Call "regedit" programm under Windows
2.The registry structur [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ODBC Drivers]
   must export to the .reg file.
3.Is there in the exported .reg file, the following line  >>> @="" <<<,

If yes, you must deleted this line  >>> @="" <<<. 
After then you can Import the .reg file with the registry programm.

Best Regards

Hi,

I think there is a misunderstanding.

It is __not__ the ODBC-Driver itself I miss.

It is the MySQL entry in the list of currently installed software in the control center of windows.

Example:
- The MySQL ODBC Software is installed from User X with Admin-Rights.
- All other users cannot see the software-entry.

Best regards

Jürgen
