 Description

Therefore, no link/request is possible with the DB.

Thank you for your report.

Are you sure you watched on the Drivers tab, or in the list of drivers in DSN Add dialog?

I've just tried, and the driver is appeared as expected.

Hi Lawrin,

Thanks for replying.

Yes, I can add some screenshots of the situation so that you can have a clear view on the issue:
Really sorry that the screenshots are in French, hope that won't be much of a struggle for you.

I've even tried to go in HKEY_LOCAL setups, as I've seen that could help, but the 'default' value is set on 'value not set', which seems to be correct.

Have a great evening,

On your 3rd screenshot(https://jira.mariadb.org/secure/attachment/62254/MicrosoftTeams-image%20%282%29.png) you have directory of Connector/C installation, and not connector/odbc

That might explain everything

Thanks for this quick analysis and reply!

Not sure to get what you're meaning there.
I've just downloaded the connector and let it install where it wants. Should I move it to another depository?

The current path for the x64 is: C:\Program Files\MariaDB\MariaDB Connector C 64-bit
the current path for the x32 is: C:\Program Files (x86)\MariaDB\MariaDB Connector C

I actually can't find any directory called 'OBDC'

Connector/C is different connector. It's not ODBC connector. You need to install Connector/ODBC

Ohhh that's why! can't find out how I didn't get the good one, was suppose to click on the right one...

Thank you so much for that, will try it asap and close the ticket.

Best,
