If you did not obtain this connector from the Simba website, you might need to follow a different installation procedure. For more information, see the Simba OEM ODBC Connector Installation Guide. On 64-bit Windows operating systems, you can execute both 32-bit and 64-bit applications. However, 64-bit applications must use 64-bit connectors, and 32-bit applications must use 32-bit connectors. Make sure that you use a connector whose bitness matches the bitness of the client application:
  • Simba Athena 1.3 32-bit.msi for 32-bit applications
  • Simba Athena 1.3 64-bit.msi for 64-bit applications
You can install both versions of the connector on the same machine. To install the Simba Athena ODBC Driver:
  1. Depending on the bitness of your client application, double-click to run Simba Athena 1.3 32-bit.msi or Simba Athena 1.3 64-bit.msi.
  2. Click Next.
  3. Select the check box to accept the terms of the License Agreement if you agree, and then click Next.
  4. To change the installation location, click Change , then browse to the desired folder, and then click OK. To accept the installation location, click Next.
  5. Click Install.
  6. When the installation completes, click Finish.
  7. If you received a license file through email, then copy the license file into the \lib subfolder of the installation folder you selected above. You must have Administrator privileges when changing the contents of this folder.
