Error during installation of QODBC on Vista |

Hi,
i am trying to install QODBC on my vista machine but i am getting and error during installation "The file C:\Windows\ODBCINST.INI could not be opened".
I am using Vista, QODBC version 8.00.00.237 and Quickbooks Premier 2007/08 (Australian Version).
I have tried to follow the instructions given in the thread about installation on Vista (Here) and also seen (but not really benefited from) a thread posted about a similar problem (Here).
I have opened C:\WIndows\ODBCINST.INI and the following text exists within the file, which makes me think that QODBC actually could open the file:
---------- [MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver (32 bit)] Driver=C:\Windows\system32\myodbc3.dll Setup=C:\Windows\system32\myodbc3S.dll 32Bit=1 [ODBC 32 bit Drivers] MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver (32 bit)=Installed QODBC Driver for QuickBooks (32 bit)=Installed [QODBC Driver for QuickBooks (32 bit)] Driver=C:\Windows\system32\fqqb32.dll Setup=C:\Windows\system32\fqqb32.dll 32Bit=1 ------------
Also, while i don't think this is of any influence, i have also read that the version of Quickbooks we are using should work on Vista with QODBC (Quicken Support Page).
Is anyone able to advise what is happening here? Have i misunderstood something or missed a step?
I don't have an XP machine readily available, so i'm really hoping i can get this to work on Vista.
Thanks and Regards,
nick |

Thanks for the quick reply Tom. The Australian site says that Quickbooks 2007/08 is compatible with Vista. There is no mention of QODBC.
I took this to mean that both products would work, given that QODBC is Vista compatible - have i misinterpreted something here? Is there something specific to the way QODBC operates with the Australian version that means that whilst each component should work, the link won't?
Also, (final question - i promise!), why am i getting an install error? Is QODBC identifying that it won't work with the Aus system already during installation? (I have already installed Quickbooks 2007/08 on the Vista machine...)
Thanks again,
NIck |

The Australian version of QuickBooks 2007/08 still has qbXML SDK v3 and is four years old. The USA SDK version is currently v7 for QuickBooks 2008. Changes must be made by Quicken in Sydney for the SDK to work under Microsoft Windows Vista. QODBC sends xml requests through the SDK. |
