I tested this issue with the 3.51.11-1 using add / remove programs of Control Panel and also starting again the Connector/ODBC installer and selecting remove. However this isn't the first time that is reported, just I can't to reproduce on my machine.

I have found that even when the installer prompts to "restart" it does not work. The new DLL never even gets installed. I have to uninstall the driver, rename the dll files, remove some registry entries, and then install the new driver, it works then. I am confused as your installer is not removing these files after words, or renames them to be removed later. I would figure the installer would run, see a DLL locked in memory, rename the file, install the new file, make you restart, and delete the old file on boot, like most applications do. Any thoughts on this?
