I have 64 bit sqlserver 2008 installed on a 64bit Window Server,

and my problem is "there is no drivers listed in the 'ODBC/create New Data
Source' box other than the sql server",



1. I tried to install "64-Bit OLEDB Provider for ODBC (MSDASQL)" but the
installation give me the error "Not enough storage is available to process
this command"

2. I tried to install MDAC 2.8, but it did not run at all, it just flashed
and died

3. Installed "CompChecker", and I perform analysis to determine the release
version, I get unknown version

4. the register

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DataAccess\ FullInstallVer" =
6.0.6001.18000

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI " has only the sqlserver's



any advise



thanks

Nabila

First, many ODBC providers such as those for Access or Excel are 32 bit
driver and cannot be accessed from a program running under the 64 mode of
Window Server 64 bit and installing the 64 Bit OLEDB Provider for ODBC
(MSDASQL) will change nothing to that.

Second, your installation problems look strange. What kind of 64 bit Window
Server do you have? Is this Itanium or the more regular Intel X64 flavor?

thank you for your response Sylvain, you are right, we installed the 64 bit
Oracle client utilities and we were able to see Oracle odbc driver listed.
We have X64,

and I thought that 32/64 translation layer will make the 32
applications/drivers appear to the system as 64, apperantly not.
but I was able to see the 32 ODBC dirvers when I run the 32bit
"odbcad32.exe" which I found in

C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-m..-odbc-administrator_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6001.18000_none _444fe75e3db70c2d

Thanks again

Exactly: there is no translation layer available at this moment; so if you
don't have a 64 driver available, you cannot use a 32 bit driver instead
from the 64 world. The 32 bit drivers that you can see with the 32 bit
version of odbcad32.exe are only for the programs running under the 32 bit
emulated mode (WOW64) and cannot be accessed from any program running under
the native 64 bit mode.
