MySQL ODBC Connector / Driver Fix

escher — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 19:56:35 +0000

Apparently there is an issue with FileMaker installations. Filemaker ends up borking the Windows Registry so that later installed ODBC Drivers don’t load. This means when you install the MySQL ODBC Connector/Driver, it will not show up in the ODBC Driver list.

The issue is caused by a misplaced (default) registry value. The easiest way to fix it is to delete the default value, as it does not need to be set. Other’s have suggested exporting the whole key, to a .reg then deleting the key, removing the @=”" from the backed up registry file, and then re-installing the key.

or you can just run the following .reg file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ODBC Drivers]
@=-

Apparently Windows doesn’t format SD cards to spec, which may cause problems with some MP3 Players or Cameras. Panasonic published their own formatting program.
