Sybase ASE 15.x ODBC driver on Windows 7 64bit

Question

I have trouble getting the Sybase ASE ODBC drivers to work on Windows 7 64bit.

I have a 64bit version for Sybase ASE 15.0.1. However the installation fails. After selecting a "Custom" installation, and selecting all the options required for the client, the Java-based installer just disappears into thin air when clicking NEXT.

I have tried installing the 32 bit driver as well. This installed fine, but the driver does not show up in the ODBC Administrator.

Has anyone found a solution, or have a suggestion for this one? We are developing .NET tools against the Sybase backend, and can't get this to work at present.

Answer 1

I have tried installing the 32 bit driver as well. This installed fine, but the driver does not show up in the ODBC Administrator.

Have you tried using both different odbcad32? One is located in %windir%\syswow64 the other in %windir%\system32.

We've had similar issues here with windows 7 64bit and odbc-drivers not showing up. Using the odbcad32.exe located in %windir%\syswow64, the drivers showed up ^_^

Answer 2

i have tried as your suggestion above but still not solving problem for win7
