Migrating 32-bit Informix ODBC applications to 64-bit From the developerWorks archives Yunming Wang Date archived: January 13, 2017 First published: May 01, 2014 Informix® 64-bit ODBC driver binaries have been available for many years, but the true 64-bit Informix ODBC driver was not introduced until Informix Client SDK v4.10 in early 2013. This article discusses the differences between the Informix 64-bit binaries of the Informix ODBC driver and the newer, true 64-bit driver. Also learn how to migrate your current 32-bit or 64-bit Informix ODBC applications to take advantage of the true 64-bit driver. This content is no longer being updated or maintained.

I'm trying to install the Informix ODBC drivers on Windows 7 64-bit so I can run the Wallet Card Wizard. I am getting the following error: 'Prerequisite verification checks failed InstallAnywhere has detected that you are installing the 32 bit product on a 64 bit machine Prefix path with C: Windows SysWOW64 and restart the installer.' There is a BAT file included with the installer that prefixes C: Windows SysWOW64 to the path and runs the installer for you, and I've also tried manually doing it via command prompt. Either way, I still get the error. Has anyone else run into this or found a workaround?

Attached is a screenshot of the error. Not sure why following those instructions would work for you but the above would not - they're identical other than they have you making the change to the path in settings instead of in a command window - the process is identical. The fact that IBM puts up a page with such details and has refused to address the problem with a proper install option in 4 years now is maddening. But that aside, I actually put a TOI video together of me doing this entire process on x64 install of Windows 8 - you can get to it off the SDK download page here: I'd be deeply puzzled as to why you couldn't make that work but you could follow the IBM page - that doesn't make much sense. We've done this process on Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Server 2008R2 and Server 2012R2 installs for x64 bit installs and all work.

I was running into the same problem. I logged into my Windows 7 PC with an administrative account, I set the PATH variable through the command prompt, and I would start the installation from the command prompt.

I would get the same exact error. What I had to do was to run the command prompt as an administrator. I assumed that if I was logged in with an account that had administrative privileges within the command prompt but I did not.

Informix ODBC Driver Install is a driver that makes possible that any tool connect to the Connection 2.1(1) or later database. It's only necessary to install this once on each Windows box you intend to use to run remote Unity Connection tools. Now you can configure the remote ODBC access from off box.

Here is Microsoft’s site that details this -. I hope this helps.
