Install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package. It might be possible the above version from IBProvider complains about Win32.

In that case download the version from the Microsoft site () and install. Install the IBProvider Trial and make sure to check the 64 bit components. Copy fbclient.dll to C: windows system32 Be sure you have the 64 bit version. Copy fbclient.dll to gds32.dll 5. Copy gds32.dll to C: windows system32 The above trick worked for us.

I'm running Win7 64-bit and Firebird 2.5.2. Is it possible to access a 32-bit Firebird database via ODBC from a 64-bit C++ application?

My initial thought was that I could just install the 64-bit Firebird ODBC driver and it would work. Sure enough, after installing it the 64-bit ODBC control panel app shows the Firebird driver, but the connection fails when trying to point it to an.fdb file created with 32-bit Firebird. I'm picking the client library from the 64-bit firebird install as well (C: Program Files Firebird Firebird_2_5 bin fbclient.dll). Any suggestions on accessing a 32-bit Firebird database via ODBC from a 64-bit C++ application? EDIT: My bad, looks like its working fine. I must have accidentally mixed some 32- and 64-bit pieces of the config when setting things up.

Once I ensured that I was 1) running the 64-bit server, 2) using a 64-bit ODBC data source which 3) referred to the 64-bit client DLL (from the 64-bit Firebird install) my 64-bit C++ app connected with no issue. I thought I checked those but I must have missed something in going between 32- and 64-bit. Bullet for my valentine tears dont fall mp3 320kbps.
