MySQL 32 bits Connector does not show up on the Windows 7 Data Sources

[VICTOR RAYADO PEREZ]

I installed the MySQL 32 bits connector in my Windows 7 64 bits.

The issue is that the ODBC you may be accessing from the start menu points to the System32 sub folders in the Windows main folder, which is the 64 bits version of the odbc.

Meanwhile, the 32 bits version of the odbc is in the SysWOW64 subfolder in the main Windows folder.

It is that version (odbcad32.exe the one you might want to execute in order to add your new User Data Source. Otherwise it will never find the MySQL connector you just installed (because it is the 32 bits version).

Once you do that, it will be shown in both the 32 and 64 bits versions of the Data Sources (ODBC).

I hope this helps! :)
