SQL Server OPENROWSET OLE DB provider “MSDASQL” for linked server “(null)”

Question

First I configure ad hoc distributed queries with this query:

EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1
RECONFIGURE
GO
EXEC sp_configure 'ad hoc distributed queries', 1
RECONFIGURE
GO

SELECT * FROM
OPENROWSET('MSDASQL'
 ,'Driver={Microsoft Access Text Driver (.txt, .csv)}; 
 DefaultDir=C:\CSV' 
 ,'select * from smdr.csv') T

then when I try to execute the above script I get this error:

OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified". Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)".

How can I fix this?
