Hi,
We have noticed that some MySQL users are having problems to install the
MyODBC driver, receiving errors messages like this:
An error occurred while copying C:\windows\system\mfc30.dll.
Restart windows......
Generally this happens because the ODBC core stuff is ready installed
and the MyODBC setup doesn't have the support to verify this and tries
to re-write the files. The best work around for this problem is to copy
the myodbc.dll on \windows\system ; \winnt\system32 and make its registry
in the Windows system registry.
To make the MyODBC registry you could use a batch file sent for us by
Jim Michaels (see below) and take up the following steps:
Create on the same directory which there is the myodbc.dll a batch
file e.g: my.bat. Paste the command lines showing below and edit
the lines with the Windows\system directory with the correct path
of your machine environment. Run the bat.
If the myodbc.dll already exists on the system directory, remove
the line copy myodbc.dll C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.
Put attention that every echo line should be not split.
Regards,
Miguel
