ODBC Driver for a Win32 App on a Windows7 64 Bit
Hi to all, I Have an old legacy win32 application than uses ODBC driver for conecting to informix server. Now I have several Windows7 64 bit workstations and I have not been able to configure the connection for my old application. I tried with clientsdk.4.10.TC1IDE, clientsdk.3.50.TC9DE for 32 bits OS. My questions are: For an old application tha uses ODBC should I install a 32 or a 64 bits driver?. If I install a 64 bits driver, it includes the 32 bit ODBC conection? Thank you for any help. Hernando.
Hello We have and old 32 bits application as you so to get work your software you have to install 32 bit informix connect or sdk and setup odbc by windows odbc manager 32 bits version by syswow.

On a related side-note, if you have the 64 bit version of the ODBC manager open (c:\\\\windows\\\\system32\\\\odbcad32.exe) and you try to then open the 32 bit version (c:\\\\windows\\\\syswow64\\\\odbcad32.exe), it won't actually open a 32 bit version, but rather give focus to the existing 64 bit instance. Also, I've had mixed results with the 'ODBC (32-bit)' control panel option - it doesn't always open the 32-bit version. My best advice is to open task manager and check to see that the odbcad32.exe process is listed as "odbcad32.exe *32", so as to verify it's running the 32 bit version. -Justin -----Original Message----- From: ids-bounces@iiug.org [mailto:ids-bounces@iiug.org] On Behalf Of Juan Francisco González Navarro Sent: Wednesday, September 04, 2013 12:42 PM To: ids@iiug.org Subject: Re: ODBC Driver for a Win32 App on a Windows7 ....

Thank you for posting. You gave me the clue to find a solution. By the way, I got this link that it might be interesting: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/farukcelik/archive/2008/10/17/why-my-32-bit-applications -cannot-see-the-odbc-dsns-that-i-created-on-my-64-bit-machine.aspx
