Error Upgrading from SQL 2019 to 2022 (EE): Error installing Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server
So I've seen this error on 5 separate servers after attempting to upgrade from SQL Server 2019 (RTM-CU22-GDR) to SQL Server 2022, CU11. The only way I could get SQL Setup to complete successfull...
I've had a similar issue, where I've got SSMS installed and then attempt to install SQL Server 2022.
You have correctly identified that it's the ODBC and/or OLE DB drivers.
For some reason the SQL Server 2022 setup is unable to use the drivers if they're not installed by another SQL Server 2022 installation procedure.

That's a very likely scenario, because almost all of the servers this was a problem with had gone through several updates previously. But I would have expected if the Rule Check ran clean, then the actual upgrade step should have, too.
