I just upgraded from windows 7 64 to Windows 10 64. Now I am having problems with the Visual FoxPro driver. I am using the 32-bit ODBC manager (C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe). When I try to add or edit a Visual fox pro source I get the following error:
I checked for C:\Windows\system32\vfpodbc.dll and it does exist. Why am I getting this error and how do I correct it?

To check :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI
, subkey of your driver, if the listed files do exist.For a 32-bit program the folder
C:\Windows\System32
is inaccessible and is automatically substituted toC:\Windows\SysWOW64
. So a path to System32 should be replaced with SysWOW64.The problem could also be an incompatibility with Internet Explorer 11 or Spartan.
Have you been using IE11 when you were still on Windows 7?
If no solution is found, there is always the option of downgrading back to Windows 7.
