ODBC problems...

[stereotype]

Migrating from an old work laptop to a brand new one (both with Windows 10 Pro).

On the old laptop I run EA 15.0 and uses the (at least previously) recommended MySQL ODBC driver version 5.1.13 to connect to a database repository. This works just fine.

On the new laptop I installed EA 15.0 and also tried to install the same ODBC driver (5.1.13) but the installation fails due to "Error 1918... can't find ....\myodbc5S.dll".

I googled and found recommendations to install Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013, e.g. https://moreabout.tech/error-1918-while-installing-mysql-odbc-driver-on-windows/. I did that, but it didn't help. Same error.

Googled again and found a recommendation to download myodbc5S.dll and put it in C:\Windows\System32. https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=81204 That didn't help either.

I can install version 5.1.12 of the driver, but it isn't shown as an alternative when I try to add a new ODBC source...

Also tried to install version 5.3.6, which is recommended in https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/15.0/model_repository/setupmysqlodbcdriver.html but I get the same error...

Any ideas? Thanks!

Installing a whole bunch of Visual C++ redistributables solved the problem with installing version 5.1.13 of the MySQL ODBC driver...
