The error message you have is from the mySQL version of Web Wiz Forums. Looks like you are trying to install the wrong version.

You need to download and install the SQL Server version of Web Wiz Forums. The driver is part of the OS with SQL Server so once you have the correct version it should install without to much trouble.

The database driver needs to be installed on the web server by the web host.

1 & 1 do not have a good reputation, their support sucks, so maybe best to look for a decent web host.

If you get the error then it looks like they have not installed the driver on the server, often 1 & 1's servers are setup different so different users have different problems.

Check also it is mySQL they have and not SQL Server, if you have SQL Server you need to download a different version of Web Wiz Forums.

The error means that the myODBC 3.51 database driver is not installed on the server.

Make sure the server meets the requirements to run the mySQL version which is an IIS web server running mySQL 4.1+ and the myODBC 3.51 database driver.
