    • Copy oledlg.dll from a machine running the same version of 2012 in GUI mode to the machine where you want to install the ODBC-JDBC Gateway.

      oledlg.dll is located in both %Windir%\System32 and %Windir%\SysWOW64. Copy both versions of the file to the same locations on the target machine.

  2. Install a Java Virtual Machine (JVM). If you're installing 1.6 or later, make sure that you reboot the machine after the JVM installation, even if the installation does not tell you to do this. Some of the required DLLs are not installed until a reboot takes place.
