Unable to update the NT registry. Variable DRIVERPATH is undefined

Question : Unable to update the NT registry. Variable DRIVERPATH is undefined

I am trying to configure a Microsoft Access data source on Vista 64-bit with ColdFusion 8.0.1.  Get this error each time: “Unable to update the NT registry. Variable DRIVERPATH is undefined”
Found many people asking this question, but not much help.  This link seemed to be the best help, but did not work for me (http://www.webmasterkb.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/cold-fusion/14625/Variable-DRIVERPATH-is-undefined).  I tried adding  a “Driver” string containing “C:WINDOWSSystem32odbcjt32.dll” to the this reg key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREODBCODBC.INI
Also tried  “C:WINDOWSSysWOW64odbcjt32.dll” as the string value.  Any suggestions would help.  I’d really like to use my Vista box to develop with.

 

Solution: Unable to update the NT registry. Variable DRIVERPATH is undefined

Try using the Microsoft Access Driver (*mdb, *accdb) and see what happens.
