To configure 32-bit OpenEdge ODBC driver on 64-bit Windows system, use the
legacy 32-bit ODBC Administration tool
odbcad32.exe,
found at either of the following locations:-
%WINDIR%\syswow64\odbcad32.exe -
%SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
Run odbcad32.exe with local administrator
permissions, to allow configuring 32-bit ODBC connections in the same way as with the
default ODBC Administration tool in the Control
Panel under Administrative Tools
in Data Sources.
Here is a short video demonstrating this functionality.
After installing 32-bit Progress application and running odbcad32.exe on 64-bit Windows, add Progress 32-bit ODBC
drivers by clicking the Add button:

Note: The 64-bit ODBC driver can be configured via
%windir%\system32\odbcad32.exe.
