Why does instantClient x64 use 32 bit drivers?

696513Feb 8 2011 — edited Feb 10 2011
Hi all,

I am trying to install ODBC on a win 7 x64 machine.

Following the instructions, I installed the instant client and instant ODBC. When I look in the registry (since it doesn't work) in the ODBC section, it lists the driver as "C:\OracleInstall\client\instantclient_11_2\SQORA32.dll"

Now why would the fine developers at Oracle name a 64bit version of a driver SQORA32.dll?????

Could this be part of the problem?

Thanks,

JustMe
