How to back up and restore the registry in Windows: Please refer the following article on how to backup and restore the registry.

On a 圆4 bit system for a 圆4 bit drivers:ġ) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ODBC Drivers\(Default) andĢ) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\(Default) We realized that the values for the following registry keys should always beĪnd if the value is set to an empty string or any other value (either by Third party application or open this registry and close it without any changes) we will run into similar kind of issues where the drivers are not listed in ODBC Data Source Administrator (odbcad32)

Note: Above screenshot is taken from a 圆4 bit system for a 圆4 bit driver

On a 圆4 bit system for a x32 bit drivers: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ODBC Drivers On a 圆4 bit system for a 圆4 bit drivers: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ODBC Drivers The ODBC Data Source Administrator (ODBCAD32.exe) picks up the list of entries from the following registry path. So we realized that the issue is not with the third party driver rather it is the registry key from where the ODBC Data Source Administrator (ODBCAD32.exe) actually picks up the list of drivers. We did check that we had the sufficient privileges on the system, the third party client tools is properly installed and we are able to use this driver for connecting to the third party databases without any issues.

In order to create a DSN to use this third party driver, we had to take a backup/export of the registry key of an existing DSN, edit the content of the registry and rename the existing DSN name to new DSN and then had to merge it back to the registry. I recently had an issue where after the installation of a Third party Client side tools, we were not able view the drivers listed in the ODBC Data Source Administrator (odbcad32.exe).
