I am quoting my 1st reply
"If you use 32bit applications on 64bit OS you will still need 32bit 
odbc driver. "

Please install 32bit driver.

"64" and "32" in packages names means that they contain 64bit or 32bit 
binaries. In many cases(if not in most) people use 32bit application on 
64bit windows.
