Using the TASKE ODBC Driver and a 32-bit DSN on a 64-bit Machine

Summary

The TASKE ODBC Driver utilizes a 32-bit DSN which may cause incompatibilities on a 64-bit Microsoft^® Windows machine.

Applies to

TASKE version 2019.3 and earlier.

Issue

After installing the TASKE ODBC Driver onto your 64-bit client Windows machine you receive one of the following errors when trying to change the TASKE DSN using the Windows ODBC Data Source Administrator tool:

Errors Found: The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application

The setup routines for the TASKE Driver ODBC driver could not be found. Please reinstall the driver.

Solution

Since the TASKE ODBC driver is a 32-bit application, you must use the 32-bit Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator in order to make changes.

To use the 32-bit version of the Data Source Administrator, launch the following application:

%systemdrive%\Windows\SysWoW64\Odbcad32.exe

Select the TASKE ODBC driver and click the Configure button.
