Windows 7 and SEOW

[IV/JG7_4Shades]

Hi everyone,

II/JG54_Emil and I are trying to get SEOW installed on on a Windows 7 beta platform. We are having troubles with finding the right .NET Framework install to get the DCS connecting.

Any ideas anyone?

Cheers,

Is it a 32 bit or 64 bit?
Does SEDSC run but not connect or is it that DCS doesn't even run

[IV/JG7_4Shades]

It is 64-bit, DCS runs but won't connect. I suspect .NET Framework compatibility error, but it might also be MyODBC-related too.

Cheers,

Probably MyODBC.

just in case have you installed the 64bit myodbc to the windows\system32 folder

the default location for 32 bit apps to install on 64 bit is C:\windows\syswow64 rather than C:\windows\system32.

I had the same issue when I first went to 64 bit. I installed myODBC using the 32 bit installer. I could run odbcad32 and see the myodbc driver, I could even connect with the connection details entered. but when it came to DCS it would not connect.

The issue is that DCS looks to system32 for the odbc drivers.
There is a manual 64 bit odbc zip on the odbc site.

The contents of the zip file needs to be copied into system32.
Then using dos in "runas" admin go to system32 and run install.bat

Presuming Windows7 is the same as Vista64 of course, it should be as Windows7 is just a tarted up version of Vista

can you explain a bit more detailed, please(runas admin dos?)?

comment:
the zip file content must be copied in the system32 as it is, with the subfolders

Not a technical response, I know, but I have installed the whole system (Apache+Seow pages, MySQL, Php and DCS) on a Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bits without any problem, using mysql-connector for 64 bits (link provided at the Seow Wiki page).
