   Bug reference:      5640
   Logged by:          Hannu Pohjanpalo
   Email address:      hannu.pohjanpalo@winware.fi
   PostgreSQL version: 8.4.4
   Operating system:   Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
   Description:        ODBC driver installed but not found
   Details: 
   
   I installed PostgreSQL 8.4.4 in my Windows 7 Professional (64 bit), and ran
   (as Administrator)Application Stack Builder to download and install the ODBC
   driver. This installation looked perfectly successful, but when starting
   Control Panel / Administrative Tasks / ODBC Settings, and press Add..., I
   cannot find this PostgreSQL ODBC driver, I can only see two SQLServer
   drivers. I uninstalled and tried again: same result. Have you seen this
   before? All ideas are welcome, thanks!

   You have to run the 32-bit ODBC administrator. PostgreSQL doesn't 
   install a 64-bit ODBC driver yet, and anyway you'd need to configure the 
   32-bit one for access by any 32-bit apps.
