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.
