Windows 10: Set up MS ODBC text driver for Crystal Reports for Visual Studio

I attempted to define a new data source using the MS ODBC text driver. I initially set it up as a user data source, but later realized that I wanted a system data source. I removed the user data source and tried to add it again as a system ds. I was told that the ds already existed and did I want to replace it. I responded yes. I then went to look for it in the 64 ODBC administrator and saw that it wasn't there as either a user or a system ds. The ds is invisible to Crystal Reports for Visual Studio. Where do I go from here?

Microsoft Text ODBC Driver

I am attempting to add MS ODBC Text driver as a data source. I originally created it as a user source, but deleted it and re-entered it a s system source. Now it doesn't appear at all as a data source either as user or system. When I attempt to add it again, it tells me that it already exists. I can't see the driver in Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2022. What did I do wrong?

 

Visual FoxPro 7 ODBC Driver automatic installation

I need the some information about ODBC Driver automatic installation from VFP7 pack:

1. Visual FoxPro 7 ODBC - cmd automatic setup with /quiet or /silent key - is it possible?

I need to setup the VFP7 ODBC on the computer of users automatically without any dialog with users. To set it up i'am using the VBS and GPO of Windows AD.

For example the MySQL and PostGresSQL connector is installing by VBS and GPO.

The SQL Server is MS SQL, am i right? The driver path is C:\Windows\system32\SQLSRV32.dll.

The description is SQL Server ODBC Driver version 6.1.7601 17514

We have a list of programs on VFP7.

As i already told we have a task to install the SQL Server ODBC Driver to users computers automatically by VBS and GPO.

1.1. Is it possible to install ODBC driver from the VFP7 pack using cmd and some keys includes /quiet? We need to install the driver only.

1.2. Where can i see the VFP7 installation from cmd detailed documentation (with all keys)?

2. It the separate fully compatible ODBC Driver pack (instead a part of VFP7 installation pack) available to download?

 

Windows 10 unable to add Visual FoxPro ODBC driver

I am attempting to add the Visual FoxPro ODBC driver to my list of active data sources, but am unable to do so.

I have installed the latest driver downloaded directly from microsoft, and I have found the driver .dll file in windows explorer. However, when I attempt to add the data connection via ODBC Data Sources (32-bit), the driver does not come up in the available list.

I checked the list in ODBC Data Sources (64-bit), just to make sure it was not listed there. I am aware that the FoxPro ODBC driver is 32-bit only.




What next steps should I take in troubleshooting this issue? I've been googling for over two hours now, with no new developments. Thanks.
