mysql odbc 3.51.27 driver for windows server 2008 64bit

[Michael Lloyd Mendoza]

Hi everyone,
I would like to seek some help as I've installed odbc 3.51.27 driver in our windows server 2008 64bit but seems to have problem. I've downloaded & installed the driver mysql-connector-odbc-noinstall-3.51.27-winx64.zip

Under %systemroot%\Windows\System32\Odbcad32.exe or when I ran the Data Sources (ODBC) from control panel, it shows the driver & i can successfully configure data sources connection (system dsn).

But under %systemroot%\Windows\SysWoW64\Odbcad32.exe, there's an error when i configure the connection using the driver, exact error msg as per below:
---------------------------
Microsoft ODBC Administrator
---------------------------
The setup routines for the MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 193.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

---------------------------
Driver's ConfigDSN, ConfigDriver, or ConfigTranslator failed
---------------------------
Errors Found:

Could not load the setup or translator library
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Our application running into this machine hits an error as it is connecting to a mysql DB using 3.51 driver. And, as it is a 64bit OS, i believed that driver's used is redirected to sysWOW64 folder which happens to have a error when configuring the connection.

Any inputs on how to resolve the issue?

Thanks in advance.

P.S.
I'm aware that there's a new version, 5.1, but I/we prefer to stick to this driver version (3.51) for some programming constraints & compatibility reasons in our application system.

Thanks again.
