Are Sybase's own ASE ODBC drivers for Windows x64 available for free? If not, does anyone know of a cheaper (preferably free!) alternative? I believe the ODBC drivers are available as part of the Sybase SDK, but I only require the ODBC drivers, not the rest of the gubbins that comes with the SDK.
In this post I describe how to extract the SAP Sybase IQ ODBC driver installer from the SAP Sybase IQ Network Client Installer. Motivation Why do I need to extract the individual SAP Sybase IQ ODBC installer anyway? I need to install the ODBC driver on a MS Windows 10 client, but compatibility issues impedes the IQ Network Client installer to execute; none of the compatibility modes available on MS Windows 10 works. However, executing the individual SAP Sybase IQ ODBC driver installer works.
Environment. MS Windows 10 Enterprise. SAP Sybase IQ 16.0SP11 Steps. Download the SAP Sybase IQ Network Client from the SAP download website. I downloaded IQNC1600110-20011253.ZIP (EBF 25558: 16.0 SP11 PL 00) SAP account is required. Unzip the downloaded zip file on a temporary directory.
Navigate to the directory IQNC1600110-20011253 ebf25558 archives iqodbc. The IQ ODBC driver installer is named setup.exe, to install the IQ ODBC driver you only need to execute the setup.exe file. To install the driver in another MS Window 10 client machine, copy the setup.exe file to a central location or to the client machine, and execute it.
Follow the installation instructions. Clean up any temporary file or directory.
