Good questions, Sergey - I didn't expect bad questions from you, anyway :)

I didn't check if the driver is installed already - I should read the key and locating the text 'myodbc'. I'll do that. About the new driver, I don't care - I'll use the one I distribute. The new one doesn't need removing the old entry, as far as I know.
