Windows requirements for 64-bit drivers

  • All required network software that is supplied by your database system vendors must be 64-bit compliant.
  • You must have Microsoft Visual C/C++ runtime version 14.40.33810 or higher.
  • You must have ODBC header files to compile your application. For example, Microsoft Visual Studio includes these files.

Linux requirements for 32-bit drivers
