Solution for pgsql odbc driver missing from Windows data sources drivers list

Hi, I installed PostgreSQL but the pgsql ODBC driver didn't appear in the Windows XP Data Sources drivers list. I
lookedin the Windows registry and all the keys were the way they should be, but still no PostgreSQL ODBC driver! 



Googling, I found the following entry on the Oracle(!) forum (see
http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=254411&tstart=15):

This worked in my situation.
