hi, Christopher. Thank you for your quick response.
I wrote it in this way but it still doesn't work:-(
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\test]
Default blank
DBQ C:\Project\data.MDB
Driver C:\Windows\system32\odbcjt32.dll
DriverId 0x00000019(25)
FIL MS Access;
PWD blank
SafeTransactions 0x00000000(0)
systemDB C:\Project\SYSTEM.MDA
UID admin
I can find it in registry editor, but if i check control panel--admin tools--Data Sourc(ODBC)--System DSN, it is not there.
help!

It's been a long time ( MSI makes me lazy and forgetfull ) so setup your DSN by hand and go into regedit and export the key.
Reimage the machine and then apply the reg file and see if it comes back. If so, migrate that over into your install. Rinse and repeat with automation.
Edit: Flashback.... your missing a registry entry value under ODBC.INI\ODBC DAta Sources that points to the DSN registry key you created.
