I'm in the midst of one of my most hated of tasks; seting up a new computer with all the settings, etc. I need and IIS is throwing an error I've never sen before: Provider is not specified and there is no designated default provider.
Does anybody know what this means and, more importantly, how to fix it? Google has been naff all help, just giving me a load of computer jargon that's way over my head. I have my laptop here as well and, as best I can tell, everything related to the MySQL driver is the same on both machines.

Yep. Like I said, as far as I can see, the drivers are set up the same on both my laptop (where all is well) and the new machine. The only difference is the laptop is using driver version 5.1.6 and the other machine is using version 5.1.11.

I don't know what that means!  Remember: my knowledge of computers is zero 
I had a look at Davio's topic and I'm lost on the first step he tried to fix it!

Is there anyway I can find out whether its 32 or 64 bits?
Edit: Got it (I think)! 64 bit operating system.

Got it just before you posted thanks to Google. It's a 64 bit operating system. My laptop is 32 bit.
Is that the difference? How would that effect the MySQL driver?

Given my ignorance of the different types of OS (I still don't know what the difference between the two is), I uninstalled what I'd previously installed and ran mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.11-winx64.msi to be sure I had the right one. I'm still getting the same error, though.

| Those were the drivers Davio had issues with. I suggest you remove them and install the 32 bit drivers instead. Those are (...)-win32.msi ones and see if it solves your problem. |

OK, that's done. No change.

| You probably need to configure your app pool to support 32 bit applications. You will need to do that in IIS Manager. Select the web site, choose Basic Settings, identify the app pool. Then click in Application Pools, right click the one you want, choose Advanced Settings and set Enable 32 bit applications to True. |
