Error creating ODBC connection
This relates to a old Windows Server 2008 R2 instance.
I have installed the 32 bit 19.12 instant client as per the instructions and followed up with adding the ODBC components.
When I use the ODBC Data Source Administrator I can see the driver listed in the drivers tab "Oracle in instantclient_19_12". But when I go to the System DSN tab and attempt to adda connection as soon as I select the driver I get the error:
The setup routines for the Oracle in instantclient-19_12 ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 998: Invalid access to memory location.
The file SQORAS32.DLL does exist in C:\Oracle\instantclient_19_12.
C:\Oracle\instantclient_19_12 has permission set to allow access for all users
C:\Oracle\instantclient_19_12 is the first entry in the PATH system variable
I've removed and re-installed.
I tried the 64 bit versions instead and got the same error
I've Googled all over the place without finding any solutions, even found a very similar question here that was closed with no answer.
Can anyone offer any steps to take please?

a) Wrong place. This is the Analytics forum. You will want an admin to transfer this to the database forum
b) Windows 2008 isn't supported anymore by anyone - see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/windows-server-eos-faq/end-of-support-windows-server-2008-2008r2
So you won't get any drivers delivered for such an old, outdated operating system.

Admins - please delete. I'll re-post somewhere more appropriate.
