ODBC Data Source Administrator (64-bit) crashes with the following operation:
1. Open 'ODBC Data Source Administrator (64-bit).
2. Choose 'User DSN' tab
3. Click 'Add' on right of windows. 'Create New Data Source' window opens
4. Select driver 'PostgreSQL ANSI(x64)'
5. Click 'Finish'
6. Then get message 'ODBC Administrator has stopped working', with only option 'Close program'. A generic, unhelpful message is give: "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
Using the 32 bit ODBC Data Source Administrator and 32 bit driver there is no problem. I also had no problem with this under Windows 7 using the 64 bit drivers. What might cause this? Is there a way to debug and determine whether the driver is at fault or whether
it's ODBC Data Source Administrator.
Further information:
This Windows 8 Enterprise 64 bit installation was an upgrade from Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.
The PostgreSQL ANSI(x64) driver can be installed from: http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/odbc/versions/msi/
I am using version 'psqlodbc_09_01_0200-x64'
Please request any further information that might be useful.
Regards,
Tom.
