26.1.4. Installing MyODBC from a Binary Distribution on Windows
To install MyODBC on Windows, you should download the appropriate
distribution file from
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/, unpack it, and
execute the
MyODBC-VERSION.exe
file.
On Windows, you may get the following error when trying to install
the older MyODBC 2.50 driver:
An error occurred while copying C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MFC30.DLL. Restart
Windows and try installing again (before running any applications
which use ODBC)
The problem is that some other program is using ODBC. Because of
how Windows is designed, you may not be able in this case to
install new ODBC drivers with Microsoft's ODBC setup program. In
most cases, you can continue by pressing Ignore
to copy the rest of the MyODBC files and the final installation
should still work. If it doesn't, the solution is to re-boot your
computer in “safe mode.” Choose safe mode by pressing
F8 just before your machine starts Windows during re-booting,
install MyODBC, and re-boot to normal mode.
