Thread: BUG #8566: Postgres ODBC Driver 9.02.0100 (32 bits) cannot be used under WINDOWS 7 64 bits

The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference:      8566
Logged by:          Bogdan Dusca
Email address:      bdusca@cbn.ro
PostgreSQL version: 9.3.1
Operating system:   WINDOWS 7
Description:

I get from your site the latest Postgres ODBC driver in order to be used in
an MFC application connected to PostGreSQL version 9.3.1 (32 bits). After
install the ODBC driver and run upgrade.bat, the ODBC data source cannot be
created. If I want to create it WINDOWS generates an error regarding the DLL
of the driver cannot be used. Can you help me with another ODBC driver on 32
bits that can be used in this case? Thanks a lot,

Why running upgrade.bat if you have already downloaded and installed
the latest version of odbc as you mention in your message? upgrade.bat
needs to be run only when upgrading a version already installed.

By the way, note that this question should be asked directly to the
ODBC squad on this mailing list:

Hi Michael ,
Thanks a lot for your valuable answer but receiving it after two weeks does not help me anymore. My company cannot wait to much for solving a problem. Going deeply I finally found and solve the problem. It was something related to registry access and the driver could not write there and it could not handle that weird situation. In the end I manually created the necessary registry keys and then the driver could write them while being installed.

Anyway, thanks for your help and hope to hear from you regarding other issues an open source software might have.

Thanks,

Bogdan Dusca
