MaxDB x32 on x64 Win7?

[Former Member]

Hi community,

I am wondering if it is possible to install and run MaxDB x32 package on a x64 Windows 7 installation? Or at least install the x32 MaxDB ODBC drivers on a x64 machine?

The reason why I am asking is because I want to establish an ADO connection to a MaxDB x64 installation with Embarcadero Delphi XE3.

The problem is that the regarding Visual Component coming with Delphi (TADOConnection) is just able to handle x32 ODBC Data Sources and there seems no way to switch this. Unfortunately I am "forced" to use Delphi XE3 and now I am a little bit stuck. Hope you can help me out here.

Thanks guys!
