ODBC Error - The Configuration Process failed

I'm unable to create a new System DSN entry / ODBC 64 bit

Using a MS Azure VM server
Error "The configuration process failed".
When you cancel another message says "Drivers ConfigDSN, ConfigDriver, or ConfigTranslator failed. Errors found: Could not write to registry"

Driver is Microsoft Access Driver (.mdb, .accdb) version 16.00.13929.20192 ACEODBC.DLL

Have Googled the error to death but to no avail.

Can anyone help?

Hi,

As far as I know, Microsoft Access Driver is used to connect to Access, so this problem is more related to Access. But notice that you added a tag for the SQL Server database. Please let me know if I misunderstood something.

Drivers ConfigDSN, ConfigDriver, or ConfigTranslator failed. Errors found: Could not write to registry

This looks like a permissions issue.
Windows stores the SYSTEM ODBC data source under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ODBC. It seems that the current user does not have administrator rights and cannot write information to the registry.

Try to create a User DSN or use "Run as administrator" to run ODBC Data Sources.
