I have ODBC drivers that are 32bit, and need to use these as linked servers in SQL Server, so I need to install the 32bit version. sql-server 1 Answers Voted Napster_X 2014-02-10T22:15:38+08:002014-02-10T22:15:38+08:00 I haven't done that, but logically it's possible. As 32bit software could work easily on 64bit OS. So, for this, you need 64 bit OS, and you can install two instances of 32 bit and 64 bit mssql server. TO run both, you just need to change the port on which sql server will listen, and it should work flawlessly. Once again, I haven't tried it but I am sure it should be possible. Thanx
