Hi,
I have an application that uses ODBC to connect to PostgreSQL. I was plan=
ning to port it to my new Vista 64bit machine but was unable to install the=
PostgreSQL's ODBC driver. I tried to run the ODBC msi posted at the downlo=
ad site, i even tried the ODBC dll's zip present at the download site but t=
o no avail.
Do i need to do something special to run the ODBC on Vista 64 or am i mis=
sing something.

Here are the problems i faced using the two above mentioned methods:
1. MSI:
The MSI installed successfully but i couldn't find the entries in the D=
SN dialog neither where there any entries in the registry [HKLM\Softwares\O=
DBC\ODBCINST.INI].
2. DLL:
I copied the 'psqlodbc35w.dll' and 'psqlodbc35a.dll' (and all the other=
Dlls in the zip file) into the \Windows\System32 folder and ran the 'psqlo=
dbc.reg' file. The entries in the DSN dialog and registry did appear but wh=
en i try to select the entry in the DSN dialog i get the following error:
"The setup routines for the PostgreSQL ANSI ODBC driver could not be =
loaded due to system error code 193"=20
closing this error dialog produces another stating
"Errors found: Could not load the setup or translator library"
=20
As far as i googled on it. Error code: 193 is for corrupt files? What a=
m i doing wrong??

Thanks.
