I'm running win7 64bit so I installed the (psqlodbc_09_00_0300-x64.zip) msi 64bit drivers for postgres odbc.
i also tried launching the odbc manager from the following location "%systemdrive%\Windows\SysWoW64\odbcad32.exe"
But i still don't see any postgres drivers i can use.
Anyone know how to make them show up?
To setup DSN for 32-bit application you must use: %WINDIR%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
and for 64-bit application you must use: %WINDIR%\System32\odbcad32.exe
see http://psqlodbc.projects.pgfoundry.org/faq.html#6.8
Typically in a case like this you want to install both the 64-bit drivers (for 64-bit programs) and the 32-bit drivers (for 32-bit programs). If this doesn't work you have two options:
Uninstall and reinstall. On reinstall disable antivirus software, etc. and anything else that may interfere with writing to the registry.
Run regsvr32 on on the 32-bit version and regsvr64 on the 64-bit version

I'm working to install the Crystal Reports Runtime (SP31) on a Windows Server 2016 machine, and I just wanted to know - is there anything special I need to know about the installation process? Any special steps that are needed that are different from installing on a local user machine? Any known issues?
Just remember that the choice of 32-bit vs 64-bit is NOT based on the platform. Even if the machine is 64-bit, you should still install the 32-bit version if your app was compiled for 32-bit.
Similarly, data connectivity (e.g. ODBC) should be 32-bit if the app was compiled for 32-bit.
Also, be aware that if the machine has another application that uses the Crystal runtime, but from another service pack, you might run into conflicts.
I am running the latest DB2 connectors installer at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/download-initial-version-115-clients-and-drivers and downloading & installing "IBM Data Server Driver Package (DS Driver)"
It installs the 32-bit ADO.NET connectors and puts them in the 32-bit machine.config.
But it puts no entries in the 64-bit machine.config (I have 64-bit Windows 10).
How can I get the 64-bit connectors installed?
Just make sure you have selected the correct driver.
There are different download options for 32 and/or 64bit on that page.
And if that is the case, no worries.. who never did something like that!
I just installed GitHub for Windows on my 64-bit Windows 7 computer, and the GitHub always get the following two errors complaining about two components are 16-bit applications incompatible with the 64-bit Windows OS. The two error messages are attached below.
I think there should be many users running GitHub on 64-bit Windows, so could someone please provide some workaround for this issue?
1) The first error
Unsupported 16-Bit Application
The program or feature "\??\C:\Users\mikez\AppData\Local\GitHub\PortableGit_054f2e797ebafd44a30203088cd3d58663c627ef\bin\ssh-agent.exe" cannot start or run due to incompatibity with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is available.
2) The second error
Unsupported 16-Bit Application
The program or feature "\??\C:\Users\mikez\AppData\Local\GitHub\PortableGit_054f2e797ebafd44a30203088cd3d58663c627ef\bin\ssh-keygen.exe" cannot start or run due to incompatibity with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is available.
Give msysgit a try. I heard that this works fine.
I need to test my C code for 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows (XP and 7) and Linux. But I have got access only to their 64-bit installations.
Question: Is it possible to use some boot-time settings or other hacks to run/emulate these OSes in 32-bit mode? If not, is there any other way to test the portability of my C code?
Note: The C code in question is not a full-fledged application but rather a .dll/.so file.
Neither Linux nor Windows 64Bit can run as 32Bit OS. Also, while you can run 32Bit executables on the 64Bit OS, it is not quite the same as running the same under a 32Bit OS. But it might work as a quick screening test. Besides, you certainly want that to work as well, right?
Your choices are full multi-boot setup, using VMs (might hide/expose bugs), being content with the emulation layer or running the other OS's on different hardware.
BTW: If you have Windows 64Bit, the license allows you to run 32Bit instead and vice versa. Anyway, you might want to check different language versions as well...
I am using the operating system Windows Home Basic Premium. I installed Oracle 10g Express Edition also 11g, it installed correctly but when I would go for adding driver from ODBC I didn't find any Express driver.
That's why I can't run any Java database project; it shows me driver not loaded. This is first I face problem using any software.
First off, in general, you should not be using ODBC if you are developing a Java application. Java applications generally use the JDBC driver to connect to the database. It is possible to use a JDBC to ODBC bridge driver but that was really only appropriate years ago when not every database had a JDBC driver. There would be no reason to use a JDBC to ODBC bridge driver to connect to an Oracle database in an application built today.
That being said, are you using a 32-bit version of Windows or a 64-bit version of Windows? Did you install 32-bit versions of Oracle or 64-bit versions of Oracle? If you are using a 64-bit version of Windows, the default ODBC Driver Administrator will only display the 64-bit ODBC drivers that are installed. If you installed 32-bit versions of Oracle, you'll need to open the 32-bit ODBC Driver Administrator at C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe in order to access the 32-bit ODBC drivers.
