Installing the ODBC Client Driver on Windows
The computer that has an ODBC client application must have either a 32-bit or a 64-bit driver to connect with TDV.
To install the ODBC client driver on a Windows machine
1. If TDV Server is running on a machine that has a firewall, the firewall must be configured to allow ODBC clients to connect to the server through Studio.
2. Unzip the TDV Client Installation Package file. For example, for TDV 8.0, the file is named TIB_tdv_drivers_8.0.0_all.zip.
This file is an alternative way to obtain all of the ODBC drivers. a It is a separate download from the main TDV installer.
3. Locate and run the ODBC installer for your machine:
OS Type
Platform
Installer Application
Location
32-bit
ODBC 3.5 API
CsOdbcInstall<version>.exe
<TDV_install_dir>\apps\odbc\win\
ODBC 2.5 API
CSOdbcinstall<version>_2x.exe
<TDV_install_dir>\apps\odbc\win\
64-bit
Intel/AMD ODBC 3.5 API
CsOdbcInstall<version>_x64.exe
<TDV_install_dir>\apps\odbc\win64\
For example, to run the installer from the Windows CMD, type one of these three commands:
CsOdbcInstall1100.exe -install
CsOdbcInstall1100.exe install
CsOdbcInstall1100.exe start
 
To run the installer in silent mode, execute the script from within the folder where it is saved using the -install or install option.
More information on using ODBC drivers to connect with the TDV Server is available in the TDV Administration Guide.
