Installing the Driver on Windows

The Drill ODBC Driver installer is available for 32- and 64-bit applications on Windows. On 64-bit Windows operating systems, you can execute both 32- and 64-bit applications. However, 64-bit applications must use 64-bit drivers, and 32-bit applications must use 32-bit drivers. Make sure that you use the driver version that matches the bitness of the client application machine.

• Drill 1.3 32-bit.msi for 32-bit applications
• Drill 1.3 64-bit.msi for 64-bit applications

To install the Drill ODBC Driver on a system that meets the system requirements, complete the following steps:

• Step 1: Download the Drill ODBC Driver
• Step 2: Install the Drill ODBC Driver
• Step 3: Verify the Installation

System Requirements

Each computer where you install the driver must meet the following system requirements:

• One of the following operating systems are supported:
  • Windows Vista, 7, 8, or 10
  • Windows Server 2008 or later
• 75 MB of available disk space
• .NET Framework 4.5, installed and enabled by default on Windows 8 and later

• Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2013 installed (with the same bitness as the driver that you are installing)

• The client must be able to resolve the actual host name of the Drill node or nodes from the IP address. Verify that a DNS entry was created on the client machine for the Drill node or nodes. If not, create an entry in \Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts for each node in the following format:

  <drill-machine-IP> <drill-machine-hostname>

  Example:

  127.0.0.1 localhost

To install the driver, you need Administrator privileges on the computer.
