Hi - We use ODBC to access Sybase data from apps other than our Servoy app. This is fine in Vista 32 bit, but I can’t get an ODBC driver to install on Vista 64 even though I can install Sybase 64 bit version. I know this isn’t really a Servoy issue, just wondering if anyone has run across this and resolved it.
Hello Michael,
When installing under Vista x64, the SQL Anywhere 10 installation creates a folder called “x64”. All 64-bit binaries are there - look for the file “dbodbc10.dll”, that’s the 64-bit ODBC driver.
Note that if you use SQL Anywhere 11, the folder name changed to “bin64”.

Thank you José, very much. But how do I install it? Vista doesn’t have an install ODBC driver options, it expects the driver’s supplier to provide a setup program.
Hi Michael,
All you need to do is download a free Develper Edition copy of SQL Anywhere from http://www.sybase.com/sqlanywhere. When you run the setup program under Vista x64, choose the custom install and only select the 64-bit SQL Anywhere Client. All required files will be copied to your machine and then you will be able to see the SA driver in the ODBC Administrator.
Thanks,
José
Ok I uninstalled and reinstalled and now the driver is available. Thanks.
