Installing the 4D v11 ODBC Driver
The new 4D v11 ODBC Driver for 4D Server exists for both Mac and PC platforms. It is based on ODBC Driver Manager 3.5 and does not require any external libraries: everything is inside.
Special note concerning 64-bit operating systems
Please note that the 4D ODBC Driver is still in 32-bit version. In order to avoid installation problems, you must use the 32-bit ODBC Data Source Administrator instead of the default 64-bit one.
Normally, you access the default administrator via the Start menu (Start/Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Data Sources (ODBC).
However, for a 64-bit operating system, this is no longer the case. You will need retrieve the correct administrator at the following location:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
You can then create your own shortcut if desired for future ease of use.
For more information regarding the two ODBC Data Source Administrators, please refer to the following Microsoft technical note:
