In 64-bit operating
environments, both the 64-bit driver and the 32-bit driver are installed.
The default installation locations are shown in the following table:

Be aware that some 32-bit
ODBC applications can run in compatibility mode in 64-bit operating
environments. In this case, the 32-bit ODBC application needs to use
the 32-bit driver, and you need to define each data source name (DSN)
with the 32-bit ODBC Data Source Administrator. In a 64-bit operating
environment, the 32-bit ODBC Data Source Administrator is started
from
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe.
In addition, when either
driver is used to access local data, the driver attempts to start
SAS, and then connect to the SAS session. The 64-bit driver can start
64-bit SAS only, and the 32-bit driver can start 32-bit SAS only.
If you must use the 64-bit driver to connect to a local 32-bit version
of SAS, then start SAS in server mode manually before using the client
application.
For more information, see Starting a SAS ODBC Server.The 64-bit driver does
not support connections to SPD Server.
