Hi Craig,
I've been looking at this some more, and unfortunately it looks like psqlODBC will not work on 64 bit versions of Windows at present. The reason that you do not see the driver is because the installer (being 32 bit) installs the ODBC registry keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC instead of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC. Unfortunately, even creating the registry keys in the right place doesn't work as the DM then fails to load the 32 bit psqlODBC libraries.
So it looks like we need to produce a special 64 bit build :-( What makes it worse, is that we'll need a 64 bit version of libpq and all it's supporting libraries as well.
Regards, Dave.
Hi Dave
I downloaded the latest driver before installing (psqlodbc-08_00_0102.zip).
Thanks
Craig

Subject: Re: [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
