Cause

The architecture of the ODBC driver and DSN does not match the architecture of the Windows system.

 

Resolution

If the data collection is done on a 64bit Windows system, make sure to install the 64bit MySQL ODBC drivers (mysql-connector-odbc-5.2.2-winx64.msi or similar) and configure the System DSN using the 64bit version of odbcad32.exe located in C:\Windows\System32, on that system.

If the data collection is done on a 32bit Windows system, make sure to install the 32bit MySQL ODBC drivers (mysql-connector-odbc-5.2.2-win32.msi or similar) and configure the System DSN using the 32bit version of odbcad32.exe located in C:\Windows\SysWOW64, on that system.
