[Firebird-odbc-devel] Using the ODBC Driver on Vista 64

[Kevin P. <kev...@pc...>]

HI,

 

I am developing an application using VS2008 on vista 64. I will be targeting
32 os when distributing.

 

I have tried both the 32 and 64 bit version of the Firebird ODBC driver on
my Vista64 OS.

 

The 32 bit version is not even recognised while I try to run my application.

 

When I use the 64 bit version the driver is recognised but a get the
following error: 

 

ERROR [08004] [ODBC Firebird Driver]Unable to connect to data source:
library 'gds32.dll' failed to load

 

There is a gds32.dll file in the system32 folder (version 6.0.1.0) and also
one in the sysWOW64 (version 6.3.5.13206)

 

below is the connection string I am using: 

 

DRIVER=Firebird/InterBase(r) driver; DBNAME=MIRROR:C:\MT32\Data\MT32.IB;
UID=SYSDBA; PWD=masterkey;

 

this is a valid connection string as far as connecting to the target
database is concerned as it works in an earlier version using a 32-bit
development environment.

 

Any help would be very much appreciated.

 

Cheers,

Kevin.
