Ok.

Could you specify drive letter? I'll prepare special DLLs with that
path.

This msi is only install kit which contains two drivers:
1) psqlodbca.dll (ANSI one)
2) psqlodbcw.dll (Unicode one)
and other stuff.

You can see this drivers in ODBC Data Source Administrator in tab Drivers.
When you create new Data Source you have to choose one of drivers you have
installed in the system.
Is it clear now?

Not so much ;-)

It's strange. I have W2k too and database encoding is Unicode. I have
no problem with connect.

I wonder what I'll see in mylog output.

I don't know about such change in psqlodbc. Don't you change backend?
What does it mean "can't deal with it". Could you describe your process
and point where does your expectation differ from reality?
I'm sorry I can't help you without mylog output.

I don't know. I don't take a look at this part yet.
