Instant client 64 bit

I have a new compiuter that I am setting up. It was origionally installed as a 32 bit. However, a problem resulted in a re-build and OS 64 bit was installed. Now I am trying to install the ODBC 64 bit version and connect to Visual Studio. I have tried several times and I can create the ODBC connection fine,but when I try to use it from Visual Studio it gives me an error stating:
Attempt to load Oracle Client libraries threw BadImageFormatException. This problem will occur when running 64 bit mode with the 32 bit Oracle client components installed.
I have tried the Instant client x 64 11.2.2
and several lower versions, but with the same results.
When I create the ODBC connection I do see that the driver is SQOAR32.dll
I am on a Windows 7 Machine.
How do I get the 64 bit version installed?
Thanks,
Trish
