I did install the latest drivers (5.1.11) and I am on 64bit windows 7.
Got the same error as initial poster on the setup.asp page.

I had downloaded and installed the 64bit version of the odbc driver, but the mysql documentation had said the installer also installs both 32 bit and 64 bit versions.

Connection string being used:
strConnString = "driver={MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver};option=16387;server=localhost;user=***;password=***;Database=snitz;"

Will keep searching for a solution, but if anyone have any ideas...

Can you connect to the database through other means? Say, using SQLYog?

In fact, I created the database using SQLYog, and setup a database user just for the forum using SQLYog.
So that is an affirmative.

I use MySQL Workbench to manage (start/stop) the server.

If you try to create an ODBC data source, are the drivers listed there?
Also, if you ping localhost, do you get a reply? Have you tried using the IP instead - am just trying to rule out any networking issues from this. I think I had to add an entry for localhost in my hosts file when I started using IIS on my Windows 7 x64.

Yeah, the driver is listed. Made sure to check before and after I installed them. Under the driver tab:
Name: MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver
Version: 5.01.11.00
Company: Oracle Corporation
File: MYODBC5.DLL
Date: 4/28/2012

Took a try at creating a user DSN connection, using MySQL ODBC drivers. Tested the connection on the DSN creation window and it tested ok. Saved it. Edited config.asp. And tried setup.asp again and same error.

Yes, ping localhost works fine.

I tried 127.0.0.1 as the server ip address and still got the same error.
Tried it with the DSN as well, same error.

I'll check my host file in a few mins and get back to you.

Ok, I think I am getting somewhere here.

Referred to this MS article on the error:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306345

It seems it is a permissions problem, that the IIS anonymous account doesn't have permissions to access the registry that contains the information about the specific ODBC driver.

I granted the registry key (which is a subkey under HKLM\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI), READ permission for the IUSR account, and ran setup.asp again. Now I have this error:
quote:
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application
From my search it seems I am using a 64bit driver with my 32bit application pool.

Looks like I will need to uninstall the 64 bit mysql driver and install the 32 bit.

Will see how that works out.

Do not connect through DSN. There is no need to do that. Just use the DNSless Snitz connection string.

I am pretty sure I didn't need to do anything regarding the registry, but I did start with the 3.51 driver.

Uninstalled the 64bit version and installed the 32bit version of MySQL Connector/ODBC drivers.
The driver did NOT show up in the ODBC Data Source Administrator list of drivers, like the previous 64bit driver did. Not sure why. Maybe it only lists 64bit drivers?

But it works now using the DSN-less connection string.
strConnString = "driver={MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver};option=16387;server=127.0.0.1;user=***;password=***;Database=snitz;"

Setup went fine. Tables created without errors.

I'll try creating a DSN connection using the myodbc-installer.exe command line utility next time. (In the same folder as where the myodbc drivers are)

You don't need the 32 bit drivers. I am using the 64 bit and it works fine.

Well rui, if you have other suggestions you want me to try with the 64bit version of the driver, I'll try it.
I'll uninstall the 32bit and reinstall the 64bit.

Had you tried the DSNless connection after that registry thing?

Have you tried installing the 3.51 driver?

Reinstalled the 64bit. Dropped the "snitz" database and created an empty 1.

Gave the subkey "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver" READ permission for the IUSR account and ran setup again.

Same error: "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified".

Will download and try the 3.51 driver. But isn't the latest version based on the 3.51? At least, it's what I read in the docs.

Weird, man, very weird. I started with 3.51 and still use in some places. Earlier versions of the 5.1 were not that reliable.

I installed the 64 bit version of the 3.51 driver (Custom Install gave the option to install both 32bit and 64bit. Made sure that 32bit was unselected), using the following connection string:
strConnString = "driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};option=16387;server=localhost;user=***;password=***;DATABASE=snitz;" '## MySQL w/ MyODBC v3.51

Got the same error again.

Gave READ permission to the subkey "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver" for the IUSR account and ran setup again. Same error again.

Uninstalled the 64bit 3.51 driver, installed the 32bit version of it, and ran setup.asp and it works.

Seems to be the 32bit version works in both cases. Probably because it is a 32bit app we are using?
