5.1 ODBC installs but not found

Been trying to install 5.1 on a virtually new XP/SP2 machine both via the MSI and the no-installer route. The install seems to go without a hitch and the ODBC driver shows in the ODBC admin list of drivers but if I try to create a User or System DSN then on clicking OK I get a dialog headed: "Driver's ConfigDSN, ConfigDriver, or ConfigTranslator failed" and the message: "Cannot find driver". (Of course the test button fails to connect). The DSN isn't created.

Other info:

The setup dialog shows the MySQL logo
Regedit shows the ODBC file's path is the same as the path to the myodbc5.dll file.
The setup file myodbc5s.dll is in the same location
The regedit ODBC Drivers list shows that the MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver is "Installed"
ODBCInst.ini shows the correct paths

I checked the signature and have tried installing from both a CD copy and a memory stick copy.

Can't think of anything else to check so any pointers would be most welcome.

Thanks
