mysqlwindows-7installationodbcmysql-odbc-connector

I'm trying to install the MySQL connector on a windows 7 systembut it doesn't show up in the ODBC add window

This is under Windows 7 64 bit. I downloaded the 64 bit drivers and as a matter of fact I tried all the windows drivers(uninstalling the previous ones first though). But when I try to configure a new ODBC connection the MySQL driver doesn't show up.

Do I need to install some other package before I can get the connector to work? Like MDAC or .NET or something else?

Solution

  • Try running the ODBC from "C:\Windows\SysWOW64" instead of from "C:\Windows\System32".
