I have read other threads concerning this error message, but I have not yet found an answer that works in my situation. In my case I am using Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition. I have tried MYSQL Data Connectors all the way from 6.2.5 to 6.5.4. The last one that I could find that advertised Visual Studio 2005 integration was 6.4.5. In each case once the connector is installed I can not add a new connection of any type using the server explorer because I get the error message in the title of this post.

MYSQL Data Connector 6.5.4 only covers integration with Visual Studio 2008 and 2010.

My goal was to test out a connection to a MYSQL database that I created using my GoDaddy.com hosting account because they allow up to 25 MYSQL Databases, but onl 2 SQL Server databases. But, the error is keeping me from even trying this.

If I uninstall the connector the error message goes away, but then I don't have the connector to use. Perhaps I could install a connector without Visual Studio integration and programatically setup the connection ... Does anybody have an example of doing this?

What other forums should I post this on if this is not the a good location?
