Subject: [ODBC] ODBC Driver on Windows 64 bit


Hi

I have installed the ODBC driver on Windows XP Professional
64bit. The installation said that it was sucessful, but I cannot see the
odbc driver in the ODBC data sources administrator.
Is there something that I have to do on Windows 64 bit to use
the driver?

Hi Craig,

I don't believe 64 bit windows should require anything different,
however we have had (literally) one or two reports of similar problems
in the past where Windows just wouldn't play ball, despite everything
being installed correctly :-(

What version of the driver do you have?

Regards, Dave

Hi Dave

I downloaded the latest driver before installing (psqlodbc-08_00_0102.zip).

Thanks
Craig

just found this in the microsoft odbc newsgroup. Perhaps it helps:
