MySql ODBC driver on Windows 11

[PHLIP Pretorius]

Hallo,

I have downloaded both the mdac28sdk.msi and the zip file(s) mysql-connector-odbc-8.4.0-winx64-debug.zip and mysql-connector-odbc-8.4.0-winx64.zip .

I ran the .msi file but cannot see the MySql ODBC driver.

I followed the advice on several web sites such as https://docs.informatica.com/integration-cloud/data-integration-connectors/current-version/mysql-connector/introduction-to-mysql-connector/administration-of-mysql-connector/installing-mysql-odbc-driver/installing-mysql-odbc-driver-on-windows.html
and
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-odbc/en/connector-odbc-configuration-dsn-windows-5-2.html

I followed the advice on these pages, restarted my laptop several times but still do not see the MySql ODBC drivers in the ODBC Data Source Administrator GUI.

I even edited the Registry to ensure that there is no default value for the MySql ODBC key.

Any advice on how to resolve this challenge?
