Problem in mysql connection

I am using vs2008 and trying to connect MySQL on remote Linux machine using ODBC driver 5.3 version. My connection string is ::
"Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.3 Driver};Server="& DSName &";Database="& DBName &"; User=root; Password="& MySQLPWD &";Option=3;"

But when I am trying to connect using this connection string I am getting following error ::
Requested value '{MySQL ODBC 5.3 Unicode Driver}' was not found.

Can anyone help me out in resolving this issue ?

What I have tried:

I have installed the odbc driver and even created DSN successfully.
