Hi Team,
I set up the ODBC drivers on a Windows 2022 server but encountered an error stating ‘Couldn’t load Drivers/Unsupported type of Openlink Lite ODBC drivers.’ I verified that the PATH environment variable values are correct, but the drivers still aren’t loading.
I have attached the screenshort for all the PATH environment variable.!
Is this a 32-Bit or 64-Bit Windows operating system (OS) installation? As you can see from the error message, the OS is unable to load the driver which is more that likely related to the OS and Driver Type combination.

I presume you’ve installed the Windows 64-Bit OpenLink ODBC Drivers for your target DBMS? If so, what is the target DBMS?
Hi Team,
Earlier OS was Windows 12 and worked for OpenLink 32 bit, same has been installed OpenLink 32-bit software in my windows 2022 server and target DB is
GT.M on IBM AIX server.
Kindly help me how would i get 64bit OpenLink software(shall we continue with existing 32-bit licence)?
Are you trying to use a 64-Bit application to connect to a DBMS that’s only accessible via a 32-Bit driver? Am I also correct in assuming that this worked when using a 32-bit edition of Windows?
Finally, are you using our ODBC-ODBC Bridge or our ODBC-JDBC Bridge? If not, then what drivers are you using?
I am using ODBC-JDBC Bridge to connect the GT.M database.
Your PATH environment variables screenshot shows you have our 32bit ODBC driver installed in Program Files (x86) , whereas your Java Run Time (jre) is installed in Program Files indicating it is a 64bit runtime, which is not compatible with a 32bit application, and would result in the driver cannot be loaded error being encountered.
To use our 32bit ODBC driver you would need to also install the 32bit Java run time, and either removed the 64bit installation or encore the 32bit installation (in Program Files (x86)) is first in the PATH environment variables, such that it is located first for loading by the driver.
Thank you,
After installing 32bit JDK then drivers are loading fine now in windows 2022 but same was not working windows 11 OS.
Could you please let me know what need to be done.
The installation and configuration process is the same for ANY Windows version, thus if is works on Windows 2022 and not on Windows 11, you must have a misconfiguration some where.
So please provide details of configuration and error being encountered on Windows 11.
