SYMPTOMS
========

When installing Visual Basic 5.0, you may receive the following error

1. In the Operating System root directory (usually C:\Winnt or C:\Windows)
   rename the file Odbc.ini to Odbc.old.

2. Re-run the Visual Basic 5.0 setup program.

3. After Visual Basic 5.0 setup is complete (and you have rebooted), rename
   the Odbc.old file to Odbc.ini.

STATUS
======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
