• You need the 32-bit driver installed when:

    - you use BIDS for development and debugging

    - you want to run a package by calling the 32-bit version of dtexec.exe directly

    You need the 64-bit driver installed when:

    - you need to create a Linked Server in a 64-bit version of SQL Server

    - you want to run a package using the 64-bit version of dtexec.exe (the default for SQL Agent job steps using the SSIS step type)

    The different ODBC managers can be found here on your 64-bit server:

    - The 32-bit version of the Odbcad32.exe file is located in the %systemdrive%\Windows\SysWoW64 folder.

    - The 64-bit version of the Odbcad32.exe file is located in the %systemdrive%\Windows\System32 folder.
