SYMPTOMS

When installing Visual Basic 5.0, you may receive the following error message:

ODBC's SQL config driver failed for driver SQL Server-setup not complete.

This error message occurs during the "Updating System" segment of the Visual Basic 5.0 installation.

RESOLUTION

To workaround this problem:

In the Operating System root directory (usually C:\Winnt or C:\Windows) rename the file Odbc.ini to Odbc.old.
Re-run the Visual Basic 5.0 setup program.
After Visual Basic 5.0 setup is complete (and you have rebooted), rename the Odbc.old file to Odbc.ini.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
