Odbc Driver Windows 7 32 Bit
It turns out that you can create 32-bit ODBC connections using C: Windows SysWOW64 odbcad32.exe. My solution was to create the 32-bit ODBC.
How to point to 32 bit IBM DB2 ODBC driver on 64-bit Microsoft system.
I want to add 32-bit data sources. There seems to be no obvious way to see existing instances of these or create new ones. How can I open the 32-bit ODBC Data Source.
A lot of these answers are pretty old, so I thought I would update with a solution that I think is helpful.
Our issue was similar to OP s, we upgraded 32 bit XP machines to 64 bit windows 7 and our application software that uses a 32 bit ODBC driver stopped being able to write to our database.
Turns out, there are two ODBC Data Source Managers, one for 32 bit and one for 64 bit. So I had to run the 32 bit version which is found in C: Windows SysWOW64 odbcad32.exe. Inside the ODBC Data Source Manager, I was able to go to the System DSN tab and Add my driver to the list using the Add button. You can check the Drivers tab to see a list of the drivers you can add, if your driver isn t in this list then you may need to install it.
The next issue was the software that we ran was compiled to use Any CPU. This would see the operating system was 64 bit, so it would look at the 64 bit ODBC Data Sources. So I had to force the program to compile as an x86 program, which then tells it to look at the 32 bit ODBC Data Sources. To set your program to x86, in Visual Studio go to your project properties and under the build tab at the top there is a platform drop down list, and choose x86. If you don t have the source code and can t compile the program as x86, you might be able to right click the program. exe and go to the compatibility tab and choose a compatibility that works for you.
Once I had the drivers added and the program pointing to the right drivers, everything worked like it use to. Hopefully this helps anyone working with older software.
