MORE INFORMATION

If you already have a version of the ODBCKEY.INF file on your computer when you install the Data Access Pack, the Setup program may not overwrite it with the version containing the German string. Therefore, your ODBCKEY.INF file may not contain the unnecessary sections after you install the Data Access Pack.
