The standard method for installing either a 32-bit or 64-bit Ingres ODBC Driver Package is to download the appropriate Ingres distribution and perform an Ingres Client Install. For explicit instructions on doing an install of this nature, see Getting the ODBC Driver. There are a few gotchas when performing a 32-bit ODBC Driver install on 64-bit Windows as the 32-bit ODBC Administrator is located in a non-obvious location. For more details, see Using 32-bit ODBC on 64-bit Windows.

To make this process a bit easier, the DBA Tools Package, Ingres DBA Tools, has been updated to include the following items:

• Added a new prompt confirming that the user should set their character set to UTF8 if connecting to VectorWise
• Added ODBC into the install
• Added a shortcut to the 32-bit ODBC Administrator

Hopefully this new package will make life easier for users who just need the ODBC Driver on the Windows platform.
