    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I just packaged an application that requires a System DSN.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;For some reason, I couldn't get the natively installed application to see the DSN - it looks OK in ODBC Admin, it just doesn't work.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I suspect a 32bit vs 64bit issue, but I haven't been able to nail it down yet.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I did, however, find a workaround:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Using the cmd.exe debug entry point to launch odbcad32 in the virtual environment, I could create a DSN useable by the packaged application.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Added it to the package through smbmerge, rebuilt, and I have a working Thinapp.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Weird.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I think you can look into sandbox after creating ODBC and look for those changes in original project folder.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt; Thank you, that helped &lt;img id="smileyhappy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyhappy" src="https://communities.vmware.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.png" alt="Smiley Happy" title="Smiley Happy" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The path in the virtual registry is identical to the path in the physical registry - but the virtual registry has no Wow6432Node&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Used the *other* odbcad32 (in syswow64) to create the DSN&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Now the native installation is also working properly.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
