Need to install MyODBC 3.51.14 on Windows client 1

[SantaMufasa]

We have recently upgraded the MySQL client on a Windows machine to 5.0.38. In concert with that upgrade, we must ensure that MyODBC 3.51.14 is properly installed, as well.

After executing searches on the mysql.com website, I cannot locate guidance for the following issues:

1) To what link do I navigate to download the MyODBC 3.51.14 installation files?

2) What must I do to the client machine to prepare it for the 3.51.14 installation? (e.g. uninstall the old MyODBC driver?)

3) What specific steps do I follow to successfully install MyODBC 3.51.14 on the client machine?

I look forward to your guidance.

1. Start at

http://dev.mysql.com.

There's a link there that will take you to

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/3.51.html

2. When I upgrade the MySQL ODBC connector, I do not uninstall the old one first. The install has always successfully overwritten the old version.

3. The complication is that the current version is 3.51.15, not 3.51.14. But other than that you go to the link in #1, download what is appropriate for your OS, then run it.
