1. Is this the ODBC driver you are talking about?

2. I take it you used to have a drive W: but now don't.
    If you use something like "SUBST W: C:\some_folder" can you uninstall?

3. If all else fails, I believe you can delete the ODBC driver by
removing the files and removing the registry keys by hand.
