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.

taken to nailing weasels to my front door again.”

What connection string are you using? Have you installed and downloaded providers for MySQL?

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.

What OS version are you using? Davio had issues using 64 bit drivers in a 64 bit OS, so he had to resort to 32 bit drivers.
See if this helps:

I don't know what that means! dissapprove Remember: my knowledge of computers is zero wink
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?
