64 Bit ODBC Driver. Free..

I have just received a new laptop which is running 64 bit Win7 pro. When I try to install the iSeries client, I receive the following error and the installation fails:

XCOPYFILE -2: An unexpected error has occurred while copying file from compressed file.

Not being able to install client access is not the end of the world as I have setup a 32 bit WinXP VM and this takes care of the few instances that I really need to use the client access software. However, I have quite a few web applications that rely upon an ODBC connection to the AS400 and I am not able to install the 32 bit drivers. The install disc that I am using is V5 R2 with a part number of SK3T-4098-01. Can anyone recommend a way to install the ODBC drivers or know of a free 64 bit driver that I can use.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

naad61:

The download is for a particular patched/updated ODBC driver. But it won t do you any good if you don t install the rest of what s needed.

The fundamental requirements have two parts:

1. iSeries Access Required programs

2. ODBC

Easiest is simply to install the ODBC driver by connecting to the Windows share that _should_ be available from the system you re trying to connect to. Basic Windows Explorer should show it in your network. The navigation path in Explorer should be something like:

Qiseries QIBM ProdData C

I don t know what your iSeries is named. I used Qiseries as the example server name.

Once you have that path expanded in Explorer, double-click the SETUP.EXE program. Follow the install instructions to installed Required Programs and the ODBC component under Data Access. You shouldn t need anything but those two components. Neither of those should require a client license.

The 64-bit driver should install if a 64-bit environment is detected.

And once it s installed, you should download/apply the latest service pack for whatever version of iSeries Access your iSeries installed.

I m pretty sure DaveSlash assumed you d previously installed the iSeries Access components and were looking for the latest.
