Answer 1

Go to the project's properties and change the platform target to x86.

Microsoft wants to eliminate support of some (not all) databases so they announced they will not be supported by 64-bit Windows. Customers haved complained so much that they are now providing support. You can find the interfaces and use them but they do not come with 64-bit Windows. The alternative is to just make your program 32-bit and that is done by making the platform target x86.

Sam is right. Still have a problem download 64-bit version of drivers and install it on server. http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=13255
