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]
@=-
