On Windows 64-bit OS, you can run 2 types of application, 32-bit
one or 64-bit one. When 32-bit apps use ODBC, 32-bit ODBC drivers
are needed. When 64-bit apps use ODBC, 64-bit drivers are needed.
There are Admin/ODBC for 32-bit or 64-but respectively. Probably
you are running 64-bit Admin/ODBC which doesn't list 32-bit
drivers.
