I believe this should be a new thread. I have been following the directions here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlintegrationservices/thread/05ccd778-b78c-4a83-a10a-c4ae412cc6e4 And ran into a problem where my System DSN is not showing up as a ODBC provider. I found this which seemed promising: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2000277 I was not able to delete the key but followed but I did what was suggested: "If unable to delete the key, double-click the key and erase the Data value entered. Once done, the value should read ' (value not set) '" However, after following the instructions my System DSN still does not appear as an option. The USER DSN however does show...has shown but does not work as I get a permissions error. Any ideas?

Are you using a 64 bit system? The 32-bit version of the Odbcad32.exe file is located in the %systemdrive%\Windows\SysWoW64 folder.The 64-bit version of the Odbcad32.exe file is located in the %systemdrive%\Windows\System32 folder. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942976

Yeah I am on a 64bit system and using the Odbcad32.exe located in the system32 folder. Michael

Did you install Windows (x86, 64-bit), MSI Installer Connector-ODBC or 32-bit version?

Thats the first thing I did. Michael
