SYMPTOMS
After you install the Oracle Application Suite version 11.5.7 program, one or both of the following behaviors may occur:  When you start the Computer Management utility (Compmgmt.msc), you receive the following ODBC Driver Manager error message:

The ODBC resource DLL ( :\ \System32\Odbcint.dll) is a different version than the ODBC driver manager ( :\ \System32\ODBC32.dll). You need to reinstall the ODBC components to ensure proper operation.

Press OK to proceed, Cancel to abort.

  If you remove a Windows system file such as Notepad.exe or Write.exe, you may receive the following Windows File Protection (WFP) event message in the System log of the Event Viewer: The protected system file  could not be restored to its original, valid version. The file version of the bad file is unknown. The specific error code is 0x00000057 [The parameter is incorrect]. 



CAUSE
This behavior may occur if both of the following conditions are true:
 * An installation CD is present in the CD-ROM drive.

-and-
 * Windows cannot restore the protected operating system file that WFP helps to protect from that installation CD.

If a CD-ROM is in the drive when you modify an operating system file that WFP helps to protect, and the CD-ROM is an installation CD but not the correct one (for example, not the Windows Server 2003 CD-ROM), the Windows File Protection feature cannot restore the operating system file that it is helping to protect.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, remove the installation CD from the CD-ROM drive.
