UPDATE:
The application for which MariaDB is the back-end is still a 32-bit application. Consequently, the vendor requires the use of the 32-bit MySQL ODBC driver. However, the vendor also says that either 32-bit or 64-bit MariaDB should work. So, here's my updated question - does MariaDB require the ODBC driver and MariaDB to be of the same architecture? If so, is there any plan to update to allow compatibility between the 32-bit ODBC driver and the 64-bit database engine?
Thank you.

to answer your updated question , the ODBC driver talks to server via TCP, so they do not need to be the same architecture.
To answer your original question, the first thing I'd try is to google "MariaDB 10.4.13 MSI fails". This would hopefully give some good leads.
Vladislav,
I tried the Google approach. All that got me was an unrelated article on a different problem in Win7 with an earlier version of MariaDB.
Thanks.

The very *second* hit gives https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-22555 10.4.13 for Windows x64 installer cannot start MariaDB service. jira.mariadb.org › browse › MDEV-22555
The very first does not give anything interesting, because it points to a duplicate of these issues.
Vladislav,
Thanks for the pointer in the right direction. I don't recall this being what I got. Anyway, I installed the MS Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x64) and my issue was solved.
Is there a plan to either include this component in the .msi, or include an instruction someplace obvious on the installer download page, or in documentation, that this needs to be done?
Thank you for your help.

The bug report is closed, which means there is a bug fix for it at https://github.com/mariadb/server/commit/3bfe305c5cd678a8563f7a76d6ed59095129007e yes, it is "include this component into MSI", as before, but using newer version of the redistributables. The bug report serves as documentation. I changed the bug title to be better googleable.
