"cannot open the odbc32.lib input file" in the 64-bit version of Win 7 when compiling a Qt application in VS 2008

Question

I have a 64-bit Win7 machine and the Qt library for VS2008 is installed on the machine.

After creating an empty Qt application, I get the error message "I can not open the odbc32.lib input file" when compiling the application in VS 2008. I believe that the message is incorrect in several aspects. My machine is 64 bit and, of course, does not have a library. And why does this require a library for an empty application. Is there any way to remove it from the linker options? Can someone make it clear how I can solve this problem?

Answer 1

An issue was C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Lib\x64 , including the Windows SDK library directory (for example, C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Lib\x64 ) and its executable directory in VS 2008. And I made a mistake. odbc32.ib is still a 64-bit library
