ODBC (32-bit) located in the control panel doesn't take installed drivers for 32 bit...
I am trying to install a 32 bit driver it will show up under %windir%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe and NOT at c:\windows\System32\odbcad32.exe. Is there a fix for this?

Hi, Based on my research, a 64-bit version of the Microsoft Windows operating system includes the following versions of the Microsoft Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) Data Source Administrator tool (Odbcad32.exe): The 32-bit version of the Odbcad32.exe file is located in the %systemdrive%\Windows\SysWoW64 folder. The 64-bit version of the Odbcad32.exe file is located in the %systemdrive%\Windows\System32 folder. Please refer to the following link: The 32-bit version of the ODBC Administrator tool and the 64-bit version of the ODBC Administrator tool display both the 32-bit user DSNs and the 64-bit user DSNs in a 64-bit version of the Windows operating system Hope it helps.
