Yes, you confused ODBC with OLE DB.  They are not the same, and you will never see OLE DB providers listed in ODBC.
 
You can bridge ODBC to OLE DB with the Microsoft ODBC Driver for OLE DB, but then you'd have to ask why bother, when you could just install the native PostgreSQL ODBC driver.

I am running Windows XP Pro, sp2

I downloaded the PostgreSQL oledb provider. put PGOLEDB.DLL and
LIBPQ.DLL into c:\windows\system and ran regsvr32 PGOLEDB.DLL - which
said 'registration succeeded'.

Then I went into Data Sources (ODBC) and tried to add a system dsn for a
postgreSQL database. But there are no pg drivers listed. What the heck?

Did I do something wrong?
