Pre-Installation Requirements for the Single-Tier "Lite" Edition ADO.NET Provider for ODBC Data Sources (a/k/a the .NET-to-ODBC Bridge Provider), for Windows

DBMS Requirements

Your target data source must be SQL compliant.
You must possess enough knowledge to establish an ODBC connection to this database using third-party or native ODBC drivers.

You need to know whether the client application is 32-bit or 64-bit. The Single-Tier "Lite" Edition ADO.NET Provider for ODBC Data Sources must match the bit format of the client application.
You must possess third-party or native drivers that connect to your target database.
- A client portion of these drivers must be installed on the same machine as OpenLink's "Lite" Provider.
- The local client portion of these drivers must match the bit format of the client application and the Single-Tier "Lite" Edition ADO.NET Provider for ODBC Data Sources.

Your environment must be configured to enable connectivity using your local ODBC driver. We can provide minimal assistance in this area. Ideally, you will use your drivers to create a System DSN for maximum compatibility.
You must know the exact name of one or more DSNs that connect to your target data source.
