mySQL installation - Driver 3.51 not found

[registerjack]

I have just installed mysql on my system but when I open it, I get the message 'not found - driver 3.51 not found' in my environment window.

I have downloaded and installed this driver and it appears in my list of drivers in my ODBC panel.

Can anyone help me remedy this problem - I am not massively technical so a laymans explanation would be appreciated.

Open what? The core system, or a subsidery program? I need to know what's causing the problem to help track it down.

OK, this thread seems to be the number Internet hit for this particular error message so an answer could potentially help a great many people. Let's see. I just installed this thing last night so I am assuming this is on the core system. Does it really matter? I imagine registerjack must have figured this one out on his own by now.

if you want to use odbc with mysql, you need to install the MyODBC driver

I'm in the same position (or similar). I installed mysql and ran the admin tool. In the environment box it says the ODBC drivers are missing and I just installed them. I'm running XP Home.

Also, when the admin tool first started I entered a username of root and also a password. When I type 'mysql -u root -p' it asks for a password and will accept nothing. Get a message error 1045 access denied for user root@localhost using password yes (or no). Is this tied up with the driver problem ?
