Most of the Win 7 users go for the 64 bit OS. Here in this OS let us install Oracle DB 32 bit. After the install go to run then type "odbcad32".
While trying to create an odbc connection to our db we wont be able to see the driver of our Oracle db.
The reason is that, its a naming convention in windows that ODBC should be called by "odbcad32". Even though you type odbcad32 its pointing to the 64 bit version of it. You can see this 64bit odbc from "c:\windows\system32". Since our driver is only 32 bit it wont get listed here.
The solution to this issue is go to your "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe" (Here I assume you have installed OS in C drive itself).This is the path to the 32 bit version, in this odbc you can see your 32 bit driver.
