is there a 64-bit msdasql for windows 7?

Question

I am using Windows 7 (x64bit) Ultimate.

I have both ODBC32 and ODBC64 Managers that I can access via Start. The default appears to be the ODBC64.

However I do no

Answer 1

There is no MSDASQL x64 bit for Windows 7. There is one for Windows Server 2003. I finally was able to create a linked server in SQL Server 2012 Express using the SAOLEDB.16 from Sybase/SAP.

Although I replied myself that there is no MSDASQL(x64)based on some 'deprecated items' information I am still looking at it.

Here is a link to the same question on MSDN:
