ODBC download problems

[Ryan Hunter \(PersonalFA\)]

Maybe you can help me out.  I am having trouble using the MySQL ODBC Driver 
3.51.

I am using Windows Vista 64 bit home premium.

I went to your website last night to download the odbc and downloaded the 
mysql-connector-odbc-noinstall-3.51.27-winx64 drivers and tried to install 
them.  When I unzip the files and click on the install.bat file a window 
pops up for less than 1 second and then disappears.  I still can not see the 
odbc drivers anywhere on my pc.

I went to the forums to try to get help and was directed to this page:
http://mysql.oss.eznetsols.org/Downloads/Connector-ODBC/3.51/

I clicked on this download and ran the wizard which seemed to work fine
mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.27-win32.msi

However, after I ran the wizard I didn't see any new programs or the drivers 
still.

I apologize, but I am not that experienced with MySQL or it's products.

Bottom line is that I am trying to install the MySQL ODBC 3.51 driver on my 
home pc but am not having any luck doing so.

I would appreciate any help that you can give to me.

Thank you,

Ryan
