I think I found the problem. The solution involves downloading a zip file and extracting it in the installation directory.
We forgot to include some needed DLLs in the installer, so the driver can't be loaded. I made the needed DLLs available in zip files in http://www.cwi.nl/~sjoerd/downloads/release/ Download the zip file for the ODBC driver you're using (i.e. either the 32 bit version or the 64 bit version), and extract it into ...\MonetDB\MonetDB ODBC Driver\bin Alternatively, you can copy the files libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll from your MonetDB\MonetDB5\bin folder to the above mentioned folder.

I'm having this same problem after installing the latest available version tonight (no errors during installation). I'm on Vista, 32bit. Is there a workaround for this issue?
"Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 126"
The MonetDB server and client work fine so my next step is to get at the data via ODBC. Any input is appreciated.

Hello, Yes, nothing seems to be going wrong with the installation, it says installation succesful, but trying to use Excel ODBC gives me error 126. And as usual Excel is very helpful with the error :) I tired giving Excel ODBC all the files by putting them in system32 but that didnt work either. I tried uninstalling, rebooting and installing without success. I even tried to install the Feb 2009 release but had a different problem, possibly due to some remains from the updated version. In any case, let me know if there is something I can try.

like installing ODBC drivers is a problem for windows. Can you assist

this ? I am running winXP using the MonetDB 32 installer.

That's an ancient bug which was fixed long ago.
What specifically goes wrong when installing the ODBC driver?
Also, is it possible to only build the client (to use mapi) on winXP
given
that I have MonetDB installed. ?
The installer does not include all files necessary to build client programs. In particular, the header files and .lib files are missing.
Thanks for your help.
