Hello,

If the server is 32-bit, and have the ODBC running on it. No issue.

Client then gets a 64-bit workstation.

Where is the exact information for me to create my own 64-bit ODBC driver
installation, and what files do I use?

I am currently using dbcon9.dll, dblgen9.dll and dbodbc9.dl -- only those
three and works great for 32-bit.

Are there different files I need to get?

-Robert

SQL Anywhere comes with Setup for 32/64 Bit (at least in Version 10).
The registry entries in 64 bit for 64 bit applications are located as
you're used from 32 bit. When installing 32 Bit ODBC on a 64 bit
windows they're located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC.
You will need 64 bit ODBC only when you run 64 bit applications. 32 bit
applications use 32 bit ODBC on 64 bit windows.

The manual install instructions for the driver are in the docs:

It depends - do you have a 64-bit application that would make use of the
64-bit drivers? If not, just install the 32-bit drivers as always.

(Remember that the 32-bit ODBC administrator is under
C:\windows\syswow64\odbcad32.exe and the 32-bit regedit is under
C:\windows\syswow64\regedit.exe).

If you want to install the 64-bit driver, the 64-bit driver ODBC .dlls
are under %ASANY9%\x64. They can then be installed with the 64-bit
registry editor (C:\windows\system32\regedit.exe) and manipulated with
the 64-bit ODBC Administrator (C:\windows\system32\odbcad32.exe).

Hello,

We don't give the user/workstation a 100meg installation program. We
simply install the three files ourselves and update the registry ourselves
with our own installation program. We wouldn't use the SQL Anywhere Setup
program for this.

Are you saying just change the ROOT to "Wow6432Node" and it will work?
But, what are the three files I will use instead?

If you're installing the 32-bit DLLs, yes, installing the registry
entries underneath the \ODBCINST.INI key (Underneath "\Wow6432Node")
will install the 32-bit drivers, with the files you already have.

Cheers,

Hmmm. I think it's more complex than that. 32-bit processes cannot, by
default, see the 64-bit parts of the registry which makes it difficult
for a 32-bit installer to install 64-bit. If you are a 32-bit app,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC is actually mapped to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC. There's a Win32 API call
to disable that though I don't recall the name off-hand. I would
recommend running
regsvr32 full_path_to_dll
for the 32 and 64 bit versions of each DLL that must be registered.
Regsvr32 does all the jiggery pokery to handle launching another version
of itself to match the bitness of the DLL if necessary.
