64 bit ODBC Exception - vb.net

I am getting the following ODBC exception when I moved my development platform from Windows XP X86 to Windows 7 X64:
ERROR [IM014] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application
What I'm sure it means is that the server it is connecting to is 32 bit, and the computer I'm running on is 64 bit and the ODBC driver in use is 64 bit.
The application I am writing is set to run in 32 bit mode because some of the third-party software that we employ is not 64 bit compatible.
I tried downloading a 32 bit driver and changing the DSN but it did not fix my issue. I still get the exception.
If anyone has any links for 32 bit SQL drivers, or any ideas on how I could fix this by changing the project around, I'm all ears.
Thanks in advance,

It sounds more that you've setup a 32-bit DSN using the 64-bit ODBC Administrator :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms712362(VS.85).aspx
Try using this ODBC Administrator instead :
c:\windows\sysWOW64\odbcad32.exe

If you type ODBC from Start -> Search Programs box, it only lists 32bit ODBC administrator, not 64bit console. Microsoft hide 64bit administrator from search.

Using SSMA to convert an AccessDatabase

I'm trying to convert an AccessDatabase (.accdb) to an SQL Database, using SSMA, and I get some errors:
"Retrieving the COM class factory for component failed due to the
following error: 80040154 Class not registered"
I'm using:
Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable 32 bits
SSMA 32 bit
Microsft Access (Office 365) 32 bit
Widowns 10 Home
Can anyone help me?
When you download SSMA, you get two shortcuts, one for the x32 bit version, and one for the x64 bit version. If you have the x32 access re-dist, then make sure you launch the x32 bit version of SSMA.

The setup routines for the Oracle in instantclient_12_1 ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 998

I am trying to connect with oracle database by using oracle instant client 32 bit because i have 32 bit pc installed i have installed oracle instant client 32 bit successfully and configure Environment variable but when i try to configure instant client in ODBC ADMINISTRATOR i am getting this error
"The setup routines for the Oracle in instantclient_12_1 ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 998".i have installed microsoft redistribute c++ for 32 bit also still it is not working please advise me.
Quick note since this is one of the first entries when you google the problem:
I was getting the same error (but on Server 2008R2). Checked the registry paths and C++ redists. Turns out the error was because I had a space in the name of the folder I installed to (and so the PATH variable had a space). Doh!
I just copied the working dlls sqlora32.dll , sqoras32.dll, sqlresus.dll and it worked for me but before that make sure you have correct entry in Registry, Environment variables are very well set also.
On Windows 64-bit OS,
32-bit AND 64-bit USER ODBC data sources are stored in the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI
64-bit SYSTEM ODBC data sources are stored in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI
32-bit SYSTEM ODBC data sources are stored in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC\ODBC.INI

MS Access 2016-64bit Connecting to Oracle-11g-64bit via ODBC

My operating system is Windows 7 64 bit. I have MS Office 2016 64 bit, using MS Access. I have installed Oracle 11g (11.2.0) 64 bit. I have created a DSN datasource using odbcad32.exe and am able to successfully connect to the Oracle DB using the ODBC driver SQORA32.DLL (Oracle in OraDb11g_home4).
But, when I try to connected via VBA in MS Access, I consistently get the message:
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found
and no default driver specified.
So, MS Access can't see the Oracle ODBC driver. I've checked the environment variables and have the path to the Oracle home folder listed.
What am I missing? Any help is appreciated.
If MS Access is x64, then your ODBC-Source should be x64 too. So use odbc.exe.
odbcad32.exe is only for x86 applications running on x64 Windows.

Access Object Collector error: Database
Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {CD7791B9-43FD-42C5-AE42-8DD2811F0419} failed due to the following
error: 80040154 Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT:
0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)). This error may be a result of
running SSMA as 64-bit application while having only 32-bit
connectivity components installed or vice versa. You can run 32-bit
SSMA application if you have 32-bit connectivity components or 64-bit
SSMA application if you have 64-bit connectivity components, shortcut
to both 32-bit and 64-bit SSMA can be found under the Programs menu.
You can also consider updating your connectivity components from
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=197502.
An error occurred while loading database content.
Just to complete the other side of the story...
If you have a 64-bit setup, you might have to go the other direction
and install the 64-bit MSAccess 2010 engine.
I'm running Access 2013, and I believe it is 64-bit.
But the SMAA tool threw the 80040154 error.
I think SMAA can't or doesn't use the 64-bit connectivity drivers that come with 64-bit Access 2013.
So using the 32-bit SMAA didn't help.
Installing the 64-bit 2010 engine did.
I got it as a free standalone download here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255
After the quick install of this, I simply started
SMAA 64-bit again,
and the wizard was successful the first time.

I remember this error. I had to find the EXE for 32-bit SSMA even though I was running 64-bit windows. The default installed location was:
C:\Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant for Access\bin
And the filename was:
SSMAforAccess32.exe
[SOLVED]
I encountered the same error while using SSMA v7.7.0 for migrating from MS-Access 2016 DB to SQL Server 2017. Fortunately, I got it fixed by installing Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016 Redistributable
with regards to installing the runtime environment of Access to get around the 80040154 error from SSMA: With Access 2016, I found that the runtime environment would not install because I already had Access installed. I needed to deinstall Access, then install the runtime only version. Then, SSMA would run without the 80040154 error. Total pain tho.
If you're trying to read/write data from/to MS Access database file via .NET application, try to switch the project to x86 architecture. It helps in my case

jdbc connectivity with MS ACCESS

i am trying to establish a connection with access database using java...
But while trying to configure the database it showing the error as architecture mismatch between driver and the application..
My OS is 64 bit and office is 32 bit.... I resovled the same problem in oracle by placing the jar files C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14.jar and C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14.jar in class path. But How can i solve this problem with access....
A 32-bit ODBC Administrator utility (%WINDIR%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe) supplied by Microsoft for its 64-bit OS does not solve the archirecture incompatibility since DSNs defined through it are usable only by apps also running in 32-bit mode.
Fortunately, Microsoft realized the issue and provided a component called “Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable”. You can download it from Microsoft site. After executing AccessDatabaseEngine_X64.exe you will be able to see the MS-Access driver under the normal 64-bit ODBC Administrator.
