Can't create a mysql connection

Question

I want to connect a mysql database to crystal reports 2013. I followed this sap tutorial. Everything is right but in step 6 when I want to create an ODBC connection from Crystal Reports I can't due to the error:

The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application

What's wrong?

Thanks.

Make sure you create a 32-bit DSN, not 64-bit. Crystal Reports Designer is a 32-bit application.
