Add mySQL driver to Windows Vista

I download the MySQL driver for windows from the MySQL website and the follow
these steps:

1 Click to open ODBC Data Source Administrator.‌

2 Click Add, choose the appropriate driver for the data source you're
adding, and then click Finish.

3 In the Data Source Name box, type a name for the data source (for example,
you could type FileMaker). You can also type a description to help you
remember why you are using this data source.

I got stop on STEP 2, because the MySQL driver is not on the list.

thanks

Did you also install the MySQL software after downloading it?
